With a wonderful African climate and a host of mouth-watering species, Tunisia is often forgotten when compared to other North African/Mediterranean countries. On this holiday, we will search the pristine desert landscapes for a wonderful array of desert birds, including the much sought-after Maghreb's Wheatear, as well as the delightful Cream-coloured Courser, Moussier's Redstart and Long-legged Buzzard. This varied tour includes the scenic Bouhedma National Park where we will hope to not only encounter an array of birdlife, but an exciting list of mammals: Addax, Scimitar-horned Oryx, Dorcas Gazelles and potentially Striped Hyena are just some of the species we hope to find. Visits to the coastline should provide a plethora of migratory waders, including Marsh Sandpipers, Little Stints, Black-winged Stilts and much more, but early April is a prime time for bird migration in North Africa; an outing to the observatory at Cap Bon, on sunny days, will reveal the raptor migration to be in full swing and will almost guarantee sightings of Black Kites, Booted Eagles and a heavy passerine migration too. Lastly, a pelagic out of El Haouaria will give us close encounters with the likes of both Yelkouan and Scopoli's Shearwaters, rounding off what will have been a most memorable trip!

Tell me about Tunisia …
Tunisia is close to Europe both geographically and culturally, and offers a stability that has not always been assured by its neighbours. It offers a microcosm of all things North African yet, in the north, the rugged green hills and valleys clothed in vineyards, oak woodlands, and tidy towns and villages have a European style and a landscape similar to that of neighbouring southern Italy, Sardinia and Corsica.

It boasts some spectacular scenery, from the great sand dunes of the Sahara, to wetlands, woodlands and savannah areas, and these diverse habitats are carefully protected by a well managed system of national parks.

Think of Africa, and it is likely that great, grassy plains and thundering herds of antelope come to mind. However, this vast landmass has so much more to offer than sub-Saharan savannahs, with the north of the continent showcasing a variety of landscapes, fascinating species and classical history that is unmatched anywhere else on Earth. From sun-kissed Mediterranean shores and rolling dune deserts to the world-bearing peaks of the Atlas Mountains, the beauty of the region is matched only by the rich diversity of its wildlife and past; nowhere else can a visitor experience nature amidst the remnants of Rome, Carthage and Ancient Egypt. What’s more, all this can be found just a short hop from southern Europe, making North Africa an irresistibly accessible destination.

Of all north African countries, Tunisia is the old favourite. It is, after all, closer to Europe both geographically and culturally, and offers a stability that has not always been assured by its neighbours. Perhaps most appealing of all though, is its small size; it is simply dwarfed by its massive neighbours Algeria and Libya. It is therefore ideal for a short break, allowing both swift access to the great sand dunes of the Sahara, as well as to its wetlands, woodlands and savannahs. Indeed, for the naturalist, it is refreshing to find that these diverse habitats are so well protected by a well-managed system of national parks. 
In the far north of Tunisia, the rugged green hills and valleys are clothed in vineyards, oak woodlands, and tidy towns and villages whose European style only enhances an ambience of rural well-being. It is a landscape similar to that of neighbouring southern Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. To the east lies a lake-land of great appeal to ornithologists, whose flagship is Lake Ichkeul. Further to the south, in the Gulf of Gabes, lie the estuarine mudflats and islands more reminiscent of the south coast of England than of Mediterranean north Africa. Inland of the Gulf sits a remnant of that scenic savannah landscape that was once so widespread across pre-Saharan Africa, and where even this century large game roamed, stalked by such predators as Lion, Leopard and Cheetah. To the south, beyond a rocky and dramatic terrain, the great golden sand dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental, the northernmost vanguard of the creeping Sahara, welcome us with spring warmth at the climax of our holiday. 
We begin our tour with a 2-night stay in the pleasant northern town of Bizerte, an ideal base from which to explore the nearby Lake Ichkeul National Park, and pleasantly removed from the bustle of modern Tunis. Lake Ichkeul, like all the Tunisian lakes, offers a crucial staging post and watering hole for trans-Saharan migrants. It is, however, particularly special, for it not only lies in a strategic position at the northern tip of Tunisia — a first pit-stop for incoming southbound migrants, and a last-chance saloon for those outgoing northbound birds — but is also unusual in having a most variable salinity, the winter rains ensuring a largely freshwater content for much of the year, whilst its salinity is greatly increased during the summer. Lake Ichkeul National Park has the further attraction of a wide variety of habitats, and during our full day spent in the park, we will visit the forests and rocky crags of Mount Ichkeul, haunt of Barbary Partridge and Blue Rock Thrush. We will enjoy the marshes and pastures around the lake where egrets, herons and White Storks feed amongst the feral Water Buffalo that have long grazed the area. At the water’s edge we will find Spoonbills, Greater Flamingoes and a variety of ducks and waders, whilst overhead hunt birds of prey — Long-legged Buzzards, Black-shouldered Kites, Ospreys and Marsh Harriers amongst others. With luck we may even find the resident and endangered White-headed Duck, a speciality of the Tunisian lakes. 
Heading east next, via the wader-rich wetlands and migration hotspot of Cap Bon, we spend two nights in the coastal town of Korba. This will allow us to explore the mudflats and estuarine habitats nearby. A huge number of waders winter here, together with high numbers of Black-necked Grebes, Caspian and Gull-billed Terns, and Slender-billed and Audouin’s Gulls; a rewarding time is therefore assured. Further south lie Tunisia’s scenic steppes and savannahs. Reminiscent of east Africa, this landscape is a far cry from those breezy mudflats. Here, in Bouhedma National Park, we will be able to enjoy watching some of Tunisia’s larger mammals, several of them successfully reintroduced since their extinction in the region earlier this century. Solitary Addax, herds of Scimitar-horned Oryx, and smaller numbers of both Dama and Dorcas Gazelles, as well as a number of other more elusive mammals, all occur in Bouhedma. The magnificent backdrop created by the less accessible mountainous part of the park will please any photographers amongst our party, whilst the acacia scrub holds such attractive species as Southern Grey Shrikes and Moussier’s Redstarts amongst others. 
Our penultimate destination, and for many the highlight of the tour, will be the desert. We will be based for two nights in the town of Douz, the self-proclaimed ‘gateway to the Sahara’ and once an important stop on the trans-Saharan caravan routes. We will enjoy a dawn excursion by 4x4 to enjoy the warm, golden dunes of the Sahara and the shattering silence of the desert ... at the most productive times of the day for birds. There could be few better bases from which to enjoy such avian desert specialities as Cream-colored Courser, Brown-necked Raven, Desert Warbler, Desert Sparrow and Desert, Hoopoe and Temminck’s Horned Larks. Leaving Douz, we head to the coast for an overnight stay on Djerba Island, in preparation for our scheduled journey home. On the way we will pass through Matmata, site of the troglodyte dwellings of the local Berbers, encountering such species here as Black Wheatear, and both House and Rock Buntings.

Summary

Of all north African countries, Tunisia is the old favourite. It is, after all, closer to Europe both geographically and culturally, and offers a stability that has not always been assured by its neighbours. Perhaps most appealing of all though, is its small size; it is simply dwarfed by its massive neighbours Algeria and Libya. It is therefore ideal for a short break, allowing both swift access to the great sand dunes of the Sahara, as well as to its wetlands, woodlands and savannahs. Indeed, for the naturalist, it is refreshing to find that these diverse habitats are so well protected by a well-managed system of national parks.

In the far north of Tunisia, the rugged green hills and valleys are clothed in vineyards, oak woodlands, and tidy towns and villages whose European style only enhances an ambience of rural well-being. It is a landscape similar to that of neighbouring southern Italy, Sardinia and Corsica. To the east lies a lake-land of great appeal to ornithologists, whose flagship is Lake Ichkeul. Further to the south, in the Gulf of Gabes, lie the estuarine mudflats and islands more reminiscent of the south coast of England than of Mediterranean north Africa. Inland of the Gulf sits a remnant of that scenic savannah landscape that was once so widespread across pre-Saharan Africa, and where even this century large game roamed, stalked by such predators as Lion, Leopard and Cheetah. To the south, beyond a rocky and dramatic terrain, the great golden sand dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental, the northernmost vanguard of the creeping Sahara, welcome us with spring warmth at the climax of our holiday.

We begin our tour with a 2-night stay in the pleasant northern town of Bizerte, an ideal base from which to explore the nearby Lake Ichkeul National Park, and pleasantly removed from the bustle of modern Tunis. Lake Ichkeul, like all the Tunisian lakes, offers a crucial staging post and watering hole for trans-Saharan migrants. It is, however, particularly special, for it not only lies in a strategic position at the northern tip of Tunisia — a first pit-stop for incoming southbound migrants, and a last-chance saloon for those outgoing northbound birds — but is also unusual in having a most variable salinity, the winter rains ensuring a largely freshwater content for much of the year, whilst its salinity is greatly increased during the summer. Lake Ichkeul National Park has the further attraction of a wide variety of habitats, and during our full day spent in the park, we will visit the forests and rocky crags of Mount Ichkeul, haunt of Barbary Partridge and Blue Rock Thrush. We will enjoy the marshes and pastures around the lake where egrets, herons and White Storks feed amongst the feral Water Buffalo that have long grazed the area. At the water’s edge we will find Spoonbills, Greater Flamingoes and a variety of ducks and waders, whilst overhead hunt birds of prey — Long-legged Buzzards, Black-shouldered Kites, Ospreys and Marsh Harriers amongst others. With luck we may even find the resident and endangered White-headed Duck, a speciality of the Tunisian lakes.

Heading east next, via the wader-rich wetlands and migration hotspot of Cap Bon, we spend two nights in the coastal town of Korba. This will allow us to explore the mudflats and estuarine habitats nearby. A huge number of waders winter here, together with high numbers of Black-necked Grebes, Caspian and Gull-billed Terns, and Slender-billed and Audouin’s Gulls; a rewarding time is therefore assured. Further south lie Tunisia’s scenic steppes and savannahs. Reminiscent of east Africa, this landscape is a far cry from those breezy mudflats. Here, in Bouhedma National Park, we will be able to enjoy watching some of Tunisia’s larger mammals, several of them successfully reintroduced since their extinction in the region earlier this century. Solitary Addax, herds of Scimitar-horned Oryx, and smaller numbers of both Dama and Dorcas Gazelles, as well as a number of other more elusive mammals, all occur in Bouhedma. The magnificent backdrop created by the less accessible mountainous part of the park will please any photographers amongst our party, whilst the acacia scrub holds such attractive species as Southern Grey Shrikes and Moussier’s Redstarts amongst others.

Our penultimate destination, and for many the highlight of the tour, will be the desert. We will be based for two nights in the town of Douz, the self-proclaimed ‘gateway to the Sahara’ and once an important stop on the trans-Saharan caravan routes. We will enjoy a dawn excursion by 4x4 to enjoy the warm, golden dunes of the Sahara and the shattering silence of the desert ... at the most productive times of the day for birds. There could be few better bases from which to enjoy such avian desert specialities as Cream-colored Courser, Brown-necked Raven, Desert Warbler, Desert Sparrow and Desert, Hoopoe and Temminck’s Horned Larks. Leaving Douz, we head to the coast for an overnight stay on Djerba Island, in preparation for our scheduled journey home. On the way we will pass through Matmata, site of the troglodyte dwellings of the local Berbers, encountering such species here as Black Wheatear, and both House and Rock Buntings.
