Birds4Africa

Birds4Africa is a Cape Town-based outfit run by ornithologist Dieter Oschadleus, specializing in personalised birding and bird-ringing tours for small groups of one to six participants. The business sits at the intersection of guiding and active research, with day trips on the Cape Peninsula and longer expeditions through South Africa and to nearby African islands. While general birding is on offer, the operation has a strong scientific bent — Dieter conducts ornithological research on African birds with a particular focus on weaverbirds, and ringers and bird photographers are welcomed alongside conventional birders. The small group sizes and ringing component differentiate Birds4Africa from larger South African tour companies.
