We travel to the heart of Europe's very best wetland for birds and the nearby coast for some truly spectacular birding, and then into the mountains of Transylvania for an amazing range of species. Join us for an irresistible trip!

Still relatively unknown, the Danube Delta is one of Europe's largest and most important wetland regions, as well as being one of the best places in Europe for birds. One of its great attractions is its sheer inaccessibility. Only one road enters the delta, and the way to reach most of it is by boat. So for this trip we have chartered our own hotel boat for two days to get into the delta's best areas, and for an unforgettable experience of this unique region.

Please note that with smaller groups, we'll be staying in a small hotel in the heart of the delta, but making boat trips each day.

In addition, the wetlands and steppe areas of the Black Sea coast are incredibly rich in bird life, while the pristine forests of the Carpathian mountains contain some of Europe's largest and most inaccessible wilderness areas, with a wonderful array of birds and mammals.

The trip goes at the height of the spring migration, when birds are pouring north along the Black Sea coast, and when the Carpathian woods and meadows are full of flowers. This is probably the best trip we offer in Europe for the number and variety of birds, and which also includes some wonderful mammal and wildlife possibilities.

Once again our local guide will be Tudor Blaj, whose friendly nature, excellent communication, and knowledge of his local wildlife have always impressed our groups in the past.
