Aggressor Adventures® now offers small-group, professionally-guided birding tours from Aggressor Signature Lodges in Sri Lanka and aboard the Aggressor Nile Queen II river cruiser in Egypt. Expeditions include deluxe accommodations, chef-prepared meals, visits to archeological sites, and guided tours with expert birders and naturalists.
“For over 40 years, Aggressor Adventures has offered explorers, scuba divers, and nature lovers the ultimate in small group expeditions. We are applying our experience and passion to bird watching,” says Aggressor Chairman and CEO Wayne Brown. “Our guide-to-client ratio and dedication to service reflects a more intimate travel experience that birders are seeking.”
Northern Sri Lanka is one of the best places in the world for watching birds, where you may see a wide spectrum of resident and migratory birds on the island. Aggressor Signature Lodges seven-day, six-night packages include guided jeep tours in Sri Lanka’s Wilpattu, Minneriya, and Kalawewa national wildlife parks. Sri Lanka is home to 34 endemic bird species and over 450 recorded species. The parks also have elephant herds, jaguars, sloth bears, and crocodiles. These small group adventures also include visits to the ancient city of Anuradhapura and Sigiriya Rock Fortress.
Egyptian birds like the Nile Valley Sunbird, Greater Painted Snipe, Red Avadavat, and migrating raptors are major attractions in the Nile River ecosystem. During six-day, five-night Aggressor Nile Queen II cruises, private guides accompany guests to parks, lakes, and Egypt’s archeological treasures. Birding expeditions depart from Luxor and sail to Aswan taking in breathtaking views along Egypt’s Nile River Delta. Transportation to parks and historical sites is included.
