Boulder Chat by Hugh Chittenden

Zimbabwe is justly famous as a superb birding destination that leaves one with a lasting impression

of having experienced the real 'wild Africa.' Pristine wilderness areas, spectacular landscapes and

an amazing variety of ecosystems make Zimbabwe a natural history paradise. The diversity of

habitats is astounding and ranges from open grassland and afro-montane evergreen forest to broad-

leaved mopani and miombo woodlands, gallery forest and seasonal wetlands, which together host a

large and impressive variety of birds and game. Our tour to this under-birded African destination

RBL Zimbabwe - Best of Birding & Victoria Falls Extension Itinerary 2

has been specially designed to incorporate all of these diverse habitats, and we can expect some

unrivalled birding experiences!

The superb mopani and miombo woodlands are home to a vast suite of avian specialities such as the

smart Arnot’s Chat, White-breasted Cuckooshrike, spectacular Racket-tailed Roller, localised

Boulder Chat and Southern Hyliota, while we can expect seldom-seen and extremely localised species

like Chirinda Apalis, Roberts’s Warbler, the delightful Swynnerton’s Robin, Bronzy Sunbird, Black-

fronted Bushshrike and Cinnamon-breasted Tit in the picturesque Vumba Mountains of the Eastern

Highlands which border Mozambique. Another mouth-watering destination is the Honde Valley

which also borders Mozambique. This valley will put us in direct contact with many bird species more

restricted to the low-lying areas of Mozambique which otherwise, can be very hard to find. These

include Marsh Tchagra, Lesser Seedcracker, Barred Long-tailed Cuckoo, Moustached Grass

Warbler, Green-backed Woodpecker, Black-winged Red Bishop, Short-winged Cisticola, Red-winged

Warbler and some highly localised species such as Scarce Swift and Singing Cisticola.

Our tour then moves onto the extensive, seasonal wetlands and bird-rich miombo woodland’s around

the capital city of Harare. Here localised specialities include Green-backed Honeybird, Whyte’s

Barbet, African Spotted Creeper, Miombo Rock Thrush and Miombo Double-collared Sunbird. We

descend from the plateau once more into the Lower Zambezi Valley where our primary target will be

the very sought after African Pitta. This under-birded wilderness also holds specials such as Böhm's

Spinetail, Livingstone's Flycatcher, White-breasted Cuckooshrike, Arnot's Chat and the sought after

Big 5.

TOUR MAP


Best of Birding Zimbabwe

African Pitta by Hugh Chittenden

Day 1: Arrival in Harare. Upon arrival in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, you will be met by a Rockjumper representative and transferred to our nearby lodge where we shall overnight. Time permitting, we shall explore the Harare National Botanical Gardens where Whyte’s Barbet visits the fruiting fig trees, Miombo Double-collared, Variable and Copper Sunbirds may all be seen in the indigenous gardens. We will then settle into our overnight accommodations.

Day 2: Harare to the Vumba Mountains. After an early breakfast we will make our way to the

picturesque Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. En route we will visit some pristine miombo dominated

by Brachystegia trees with a whole host of mouth-watering miombo specials. We will specifically

target Boulder Chat, Black-eared Seedeater, Western Violet-backed Sunbird, Wood Pipit, African

Spotted Creeper, Red-faced Crombec,

White-breasted Cuckooshrike, Cinnamon-

breasted Tit, Green-capped Eremomela

and both Brown and Green-backed

Honeybirds. Pushing on to our main

destination where we will be based for

three nights at a small farm-style retreat

deep within the forests of the Vumba

Mountains, or “mountains of the mist,”

situated to the south-east of Mutare. An

investigation of the surroundings may

produce Roberts’s Warbler, Bronzy,

Variable and Miombo Double-collared

Sunbirds, Cape Robin-Chat and Stripe-

cheeked Greenbul while Yellow-bellied Chirinda Apalis by Adam Riley


Waxbill and Red-chested Flufftail may also be found near the various wetlands scattered in the region.

Days 3 & 4: Vumba Mountains. We have

two full days to explore the lush

Afromontane forest that drapes The Vumba

Mountains. Excellent birding can be had

right around our accommodation and we

shall be on the lookout for a host of

specialities that inhabit these verdant forests.

Livingstone’s Turaco, Silvery-cheeked

Hornbill, African Emerald Cuckoo, White-

eared Barbet and African Olive Pigeon

clamber around the forest canopy, while

Lemon and Tambourine Doves, Buff-spotted

Flufftail and Barratt’s Warbler inhabit the

forest understory.

Mixed species flocks are a feature of these

forests and could reveal the presence of Cape Batis, Black-fronted and Olive Bushshrikes, Yellow-

streaked and Stripe-cheeked Greenbuls, Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler, the shy and brilliant

Orange Ground Thrush, Bar-throated Apalis, Dark-backed Weaver, Grey Cuckooshrike, White-tailed

Crested and Blue-mantled Crested Flycatchers.

The nearby Vumba Botanical Gardens are also an excellent place to explore. Birding here is

particularly enjoyable and a leisurely stroll through this botanical wonderland could produce many

of the same species as mentioned above and may also yield several forest edge specialists like the

elusive Red-faced Crimsonwing, brilliant Red-throated and Green Twinspots, Yellow-bellied

Waxbill, African Firefinch and an array of exquisite sunbirds that include Bronzy, Collared, Variable

and Olive Sunbirds. Zimbabwe’s only two near-endemic birds also occur here, Roberts’s Warbler

and Chirinda Apalis; both species only occurring here and in the inaccessible highland areas in

adjacent Mozambique. Two other avian gems that we will

search for today are White-starred and the extremely

localised and stunning Swynnerton’s Robin, which is

restricted to a few Afro-montane forests in south-eastern

and eastern Africa.

We’ll also pay special attention to the large raptors in the

region. These include Crowned and Long-crested Eagles

and Augur Buzzard. Dense foliage and bracken covered

forest edges host Cape Grassbird, Cape Robin-Chat and

Singing Cisticola, while several species of mammal also

occur in this area and include Bushbuck, the diminutive

Blue Duiker, Blue Monkey, Mutable Sun Squirrel and the

rare African Palm Civet, which is the only place it can be

found in the southern African sub-region.

Day 5: Vumba Mountains to the Honde Valley. En route

to our lodge nestled within the Honde Valley, we will bird

a stretch of Miombo woodland around Christmas Pass, in

search of some species that we might have missed. Brown-

Swynnerton’s Robin by Adam Riley

Whyte’s Barbet

by Daniel Keith Danckwerts


backed and Green-backed Honeybirds,

Miombo and Cinnamon-breasted Tits,

African Spotted Creeper, Miombo Rock

Thrush, Whyte's Barbet, Red-faced

Crombec, White-breasted Cuckooshrike,

Orange-winged Pytilia, Black-eared

Seedeater and Cabanis’s Bunting are all

good possibilities. Tree Pipit and Collared

Flycatcher are rare migrants that are

regularly found here and a watchful eye

skyward may reward us with the stunning

Augur Buzzard and Mottled Swift.

The Honde Valley adjacent to the Rhodes

Inyanga National Park provides us with

breath-taking scenic views while we may

be fortunate to encounter Augur Buzzard,

Silvery-cheeked Hornbill and even the critically endangered Blue Swallow as we descend the plateau.

Day 6: Honde Valley. The setting of our lodge for two nights is exquisite - deep within a valley, on

the edge of a small mountain river that can produce its own hydro-electricity via a network of weirs

and channels if need be. The hills surrounding the lodge are covered in scenic tea plantations and

lush low-altitude forest that attracts a huge array of species typical of Zimbabwe's low-lying

neighbour - Mozambique. We will spend our stay here focusing on these low-altitude species

including Eastern Bronze-naped Pigeon, Green-backed Woodpecker, Barred Long-tailed Cuckoo,

Red-winged Warbler, Pale Batis, Scarce Swift, Collared Palm-Thrush, Short-winged and Singing

Cisticolas, Eastern Saw-wing (a sub-species of Black Saw-wing) and even Eleonora's Falcon. In the

damp areas, we will be searching for the highly localised Marsh Tchagra, Lesser Seedcracker,

Moustached Grass Warbler and Black-winged Bishop. Other species that will happily entertain us

during our exploration of this incredible area include Blue-spotted Wood-Dove, Pallid Honeyguide,

Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, the exquisite Black-fronted

Bush-Shrike, the bright Red-throated and Green Twinspots,

Yellow-bellied and Grey Waxbill, Palm-nut Vulture and the

impressive Ayres's Hawk-Eagle.

Day 7: Honde Valley to Harare via Gosho Park. This

morning we depart the Honde Valley and head back to

Harare. Time permitting, we will stop at Gosho Park near

Marondera, a pristine piece of miombo woodland. This is

one of the strongholds of the dainty African Spotted Creeper

and good views should be had whilst it characteristically

clambers upwards from the base of these tall, straight trees.

Copper, Variable and Western Violet-backed Sunbirds,

Shelley's and Coqui Francolin, as well as Boulder Chat will

also be sought after. We will reach Harare late this

afternoon.

Day 8: Harare and surrounds. Harare is justly famous for

its seasonally flooded wetlands and we will spend the day

searching for birds that move in with the rains. Depending

Amur Falcon by Clayton Burne

African Spotted Creeper

by Matthew Matthiessen


on rainfall and conditions we might find

several rare, secretive and erratic species like

Striped and Spotted Crakes, Streaky-breasted

Flufftail, Blue Quail and Locust Finch, which

would be the top prizes. These species are all

regular and appear annually in the grasslands

in and around Harare, however they will only

be present if there has been regular, recent rain

and the seasonally flooded grasslands are

shallowly inundated with water. Other regular

visitors include African and Western Marsh

Harriers, African and Corn Crakes, Greater

Painted-snipe, African Snipe, Black Coucal,

Marsh and Grass Owls, three species of

Longclaws (including the highly sought-after

Rosy-throated), Pale-crowned, Wing-snapping and the larger Croaking Cisticolas, the parasitic and

nomadic Cuckoo-finch, Orange-breasted Waxbill and Quailfinch.

If the dambos are dry, then we will head out early and spend the morning birding the fabulous

Mukuvisi Woodlands. This 270ha sanctuary is situated within the Harare city limits and supports an

extensive stand of Miombo woodland where we will search for such Miombo specials as African

Spotted Creeper, Miombo Rock Thrush, Whyte’s Barbet, Green-backed Honeybird, Miombo Tit,

Red-faced Crombec, Wood Pipit, Miombo Blue-eared Starling, Black-eared Seedeater, Cabanis’s

Bunting and Miombo Double-collared Sunbird. The birding here is particularly rich and amongst

commoner African bird species, we may see African Goshawk, Klaas’s and Diederik Cuckoos,

Bennett’s and Bearded Woodpeckers and African Yellow Warbler. If we are fortunate, we may also

stumble across the impressive Pennant-winged Nightjar or European Nightjar at their daytime roosts.

Day 9: Harare to the Lower Zambezi Valley. Our next destination requires us to transfer to a 4X4

vehicle as we head north toward the rugged and largely unexplored region of the Lower Zambezi

Valley. Arriving at our camp around lunch time, we’ll make ourselves at home, before exploring the

truly spectacular wilderness area nestled along the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This

beautiful region teems with a wide variety of birds and mammals and harbours some of Africa’s most

wonderful species. Here, lured by one of the very best opportunities anywhere in its entire range, we

will go in search of one of Africa’s rarest and most highly-desired birds, the stunning African Pitta!

While in this region we will

focus most of our efforts on

finding this very special and

elusive species and many other

highly desired and difficult

African birds including Lilian’s

Lovebird, Thick-billed Cuckoo,

Eastern Nicator and the

exquisite Livingstone’s

Flycatcher.

While in this region we will be

accompanied by an armed

ranger at all times because this

area is well known for its Arnot’s Chat by Adam Riley

Rosy-throated Longclaw by Cuan Rush


dangerous mammals, especially African

Elephant, African Buffalo and Leopard –

which roam the area freely. The area is

extremely rich in bird life and harbours

many specialities. In the mopani, acacia,

baobab and riparian woodlands that

dominate the area we will be on the lookout

for Crowned and Western Banded Snake

Eagles, the crepuscular and easily over-

looked Bat Hawk, Dickinson’s Kestrel,

Lizard Buzzard, Brown-necked and Meyer’s

Parrots, noisy flocks of Lillian’s Lovebird,

Flappet Lark, Böhm’s and Mottled

Spinetails overhead, Southern Ground

Hornbill, Broad-tailed Paradise Whydah,

Cut-throat Finch, Purple, Village and the

rare Zambezi Indigobirds, dazzling Copper

and Purple-banded Sunbirds, Racket-tailed Roller, Retz’s Helmetshrike and possibly its host, the rare

and elusive Thick-billed Cuckoo.

Days 10 & 11: Lower Zambezi Valley. The next couple of days shall be spent birding in the

surrounding woodland, focussing on areas of dense thickets with deep leaf litter along the dry

riverbeds that criss-cross the region. This is the ideal habitat of the African Pitta and its favoured

breeding grounds. Finding this special bird will involve early morning departures, in order to reach

their traditional display grounds when the pittas are most vocal.

The pitta’s display is a privilege to watch as the brilliantly coloured male launches himself from a

horizontal branch whilst uttering its single liquid call note, only to parachute back down to its original

spot in a splendid flash of colour in the dark understory of the forest; an experience never to be

forgotten!

In these riparian thickets we will also search for Crested Guineafowl, the sought-after Livingstone’s

Flycatcher, gorgeous Narina Trogon, African Broadbill, Eastern Nicator, Bearded Scrub Robin,

Collared Palm Thrush, vociferous but secretive Thrush Nightingale, immaculate Red-throated

Twinspot, Jameson’s and Red-billed Firefinches and Orange-winged Pytilia. We may be lucky and

Lillian’s Lovebird by Phil Perry

Pennant-winged Nightjar by Hugh Chittenden


bump into more pittas during their day’s foraging but we’d be fortunate to do so as they are shy and

rather scarce and are only readily located when calling in the early morning and sometimes in the late

afternoon. In saying this, our lodge kitchen roof has even had an individual displaying from it!

Owls are readily seen in the vicinity of our camp and we will search for several species in the evening.

If our luck holds we may glimpse African Wood Owl, African Barred Owlet and African Scops Owl

and, if luck is truly on our side, a majestic male Pennant-winged Nightjar in full nuptials. We will

then settle to an excellent farewell dinner with the group before a final night’s rest on this spectacular

tour.

Day 12: Zambezi Valley to Harare and final departures. Our final morning will afford us a further

opportunity to enjoy the amazing display of the African Pitta as well as many more beautiful birds

we may have missed during the trip. We’ll then return to Harare where we will connect with our

international flights home, or set off for out Victoria Fall’s Extension.

Victoria Falls Extension

Victoria Fall’s by Glen Valentine

Our pre-tour extension takes us from the majestic Victoria Falls, one of the seven wonders of the

natural world, to a private concession bordering the Chobe Forest Reserve. This brief yet thoroughly

rewarding tour allows us to target many of the Okavango Delta species which reach their eastern

limit of distribution here, as well as marvelling at the truly magnificent spectacle that is the Victoria

Falls!

Day 1: Arrival in Victoria Fall’s and transfer to Zambezi NP via Victoria Falls. Upon arriving

in Victoria Fall’s Airport, we will transfer to the spectacular Victoria Falls. Considered to be one of

the Seven Natural Wonders of the world, the falls are a spectacular curtain of cataracts formed by the


mighty Zambezi River, as it plunges

thunderously into the gorge 300 feet below.

Never far from its earth-moving grumble, we

shall scan the river islands for roosting Rock

Pratincole, while a search of the small patch

of ‘rain forest’ (formed by the falls' perpetual

spray) may turn up such tropical species as

Trumpeter Hornbill, Schalow’s Turaco, the

attractive African Emerald Cuckoo, the

vocal White-browed Robin-Chat and

attractive and melodic Collared Palm

Thrush.

Leaving the mighty falls behind, we will then

transfer to our wonderful lodge near the

border with Botswana, Namibia and Zambia,

keeping a lookout for Racket-tailed Roller, Bradfield’s Hornbill, Southern Pied Babbler and Long-

tailed and Broad-tailed Paradise Whydahs en route. Finally, we will arrive at our luxurious safari

lodge situated on the banks of the Zambezi River and our delightful home for the next three nights!

With a waterhole right in front of the lodge and a view over the river from each stone-and-thatch unit,

we will be sure to take the time to enjoy the spectacular and comfortable surroundings. Not to mention

the animals and birds that wander into the lodge's unfenced grounds!

Days 2 & 3: Zambezi National Park and Chobe National Park. Set in a private concession

bordering the Chobe Forest Reserve complete with 14 kilometres of Zambezi River frontage, our

lodge is a haven for waterbirds and home to all of the Okavango Delta species, here found at the

eastern edge of their distribution. During our time here we will embark on boat trips along the

Zambezi River, drifting along slowly, soaking in the wonderful sights and sounds of the African

wilderness. We’ll also enjoy some mesmerising game drives into the surrounding Zambezi and Chobe

National Parks on the lookout for the many avian specialities that inhabit this bird-rich area.

While meandering through the floodplains, dominated by stands of Cyperus, Papyrus, Phragmites

reeds, floodplain grasses and sedges, we hope to find Rufous-bellied Heron, the elusive and localised

Slaty Egret, Collared Pratincole, White-crowned and Long-toed Lapwings, Allen’s Gallinule, Lesser

Moorhen, the minuscule Lesser Jacana, gigantic Coppery-tailed Coucal, Luapula and Chirping

Cisticolas, Greater and Lesser Swamp

Warblers, the boldly-coloured African

Pygmy Goose and with some luck Rosy-

throated Longclaw, Wattled Crane, the

scarce and nocturnal White-backed Night

Heron and much-desired Pel’s Fishing Owl.

The explosion of colour as flocks of Blue-

cheeked and Southern Carmine Bee-eaters

arrive at their nests on the sandy banks is a

sight to behold! Swamp Boubou, Collared

Palm Thrush, Brown Firefinch, Senegal

Coucal and Hartlaub’s Babbler can be seen

right around the lodge and favour riverside

thickets. Areas of more open water and

Schalow’s Turacos by Adam Riley

Rock Pratincole by Markus Lilje


sandbanks along the river are home to

migratory African Skimmers that make their

way down from central Africa to breed here

in summer on exposed sandbanks as a result

of low water levels. The extensive reed beds

also attract a variety of weavers, widowbirds

and bishops, which utilise this habitat for

nesting in summer, and we can expect to

encounter some brilliant species in full

breeding plumage, including Southern

Brown-throated, Holub’s Golden, Village,

Southern Masked, Lesser Masked and

Thick-billed Weavers, Southern Red

Bishop, Fan-tailed and White-winged

Widowbirds. Red-billed Quelea should also

be in attendance in large numbers, attracting

both migrant and resident raptors such as Tawny, Lesser Spotted and Steppe Eagles, while Eurasian

and African Hobbies are all possible in the ensuing melee.

During our rewarding and relaxing excursions, we may also encounter an array of exciting mammals:

Giraffe, Plains Zebra, Impala, Greater Kudu, Hippopotamus, herds of muscular African Buffalo and

the iconic African Elephant. Troops of Vervets and Chacma Baboons roam playfully in the riverine

woodland and we may even encounter Cape Clawless and Spotted-necked Otters feeding in the river.

We can also expect to see good numbers of the formidable Nile Crocodile, basking in the sun, on the

sand banks.

At dusk we can enjoy sundowners at the edge of the river, an idyllic spot indeed, watching as hundreds

of birds begin to move around between their feeding and roosting grounds. We might also encounter

a Bat Hawk hunting overhead or perhaps Eurasian and African Hobbies.

During our stay we will also take a night drive in the hopes of seeing Bat-eared Fox, Common and

Central African Large-spotted Genets, White-tailed Mongoose, Springhare, Wild Cat, Southern

Lesser Galago and African Savanna Hare, amongst many other rarer species; Serval, Side-striped

Jackal, African Civet, Cape Porcupine, Zorilla, Honey Badger and Selous’ Mongoose among them.

Several species of owl and nightjar are

also possible including the rare Swamp

Nightjar, which may be found on the

floodplain itself, as well as the spectacular

Pennant-winged Nightjar, African Wood

Owl and tiny African Barred Owlet.

Day 4: Transfer from Zambezi NP to

Victoria Falls Airport for final

departure. After some early morning

birding and a scrumptious breakfast, we

will begin our drive back to Victoria Falls.

We may encounter a number of raptors

along the short drive including Tawny and

Wahlberg’s Eagles, African Harrier-

Hawk, Amur Falcon, Eurasian Hobby and

Pel’s Fishing Owl by Adam Riley

Slaty Egret by Marius Coetzee


even the elusive Dickinson’s Kestrel and African Cuckoo-Hawk. The tour will conclude at Victoria
