Sabaki Estuary Birdwatching Experience
Birdwatching at an Important Bird Area – terrestrial habitats in the morning, then waders and flamingos on the estuary.
Overview
About This Experience
Explore the remarkable Sabaki Estuary, an important coastal birdwatching destination and an Important Bird Area (IBA).
Your day begins with an early hotel pickup at approximately 6:00 AM. We travel to the Sabaki area and begin with birdwatching around the terrestrial habitat, spending approximately 1–2 hours looking for birds in the surrounding landscape.
Later, continue toward the Sabaki Estuary, where the habitat changes from terrestrial areas to wetlands and mudflats. Here you can spend time searching for waders and other water-associated birds, with possible sightings including flamingos and a variety of other coastal and wetland species.
After the birdwatching experience, we begin our journey back to the hotel in the afternoon.
