Gila Monster, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Sonoran Desert Tortoise and Western Coral Snake – these are just a few of the iconic reptiles we aim to see as we embark on an exciting exploration through the breathtaking landscapes of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts, on an itinerary expertly crafted by our Arizona based guides to encompass the best of the deserts, mountains and canyons in this spectacular area.

Herpetologists have long been intrigued by the unique and rich ensemble of reptiles and amphibians of the Sonoran Desert. This diversity is not surprising considering the remarkable and complex landscapes of the mountains and valleys with rocky to sandy soils, the diverse vegetation and the variable climate, with two distinct rainy seasons. But the diversity of reptiles and amphibians reflects evolutionary origins intertwined not only with the history of the Sonoran Desert itself, but also with other major biotic provinces such as the Rocky Mountains to the north, the grasslands of the mid-continent to the east and the New World tropics to the south. 

Using perfectly located accommodation, we’ll search this wonderful region for the iconic and the little-known reptile and amphibian species found here such as substrate mimicking Regal Horned Lizard, Sidewinder – famous for its remarkable locomotion, Canyon Tree Frog – a beautiful amphibian fantastically adapted for life in rocky arid scrub and mountains, and many other fascinating species.

We’ll survey Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Sabino Canyon and the Chiricahua Mountains, taking in the exhilarating landscapes and relishing the flora and fauna they have to offer. Join us on this special tour to discover the rich herpetofauna of south-east Arizona, covering unique, diverse and spectacular habitats with our expert guides in search of incredible reptiles and amphibians.

  • Truly iconic species including Gila Monster, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Sonoran Desert Tortoise and Western Coral Snake
  • Search the amazing Chiricahua Mountains for Mojave Rattlesnakes, Alligator Lizards, and more
  • Other wildlife species we find could include Mountain Lion, Elegant Trogon and up to seven hummingbird species
  • The amazing botany will include Cholla, Prickly Pear Cactus, Agave, Brittlebush, Mesquite, and Palo Verde

This exciting tour is part of our portfolio of herpetology holidays.

Thanks to the images instilled by American domination of our contemporary culture there is a tendency when the USA is mentioned to think of the major cities such as New York and Los Angeles, or perhaps the neon horrors of Las Vegas. However, these represent only one facet of this enormous country and in the abundant wilderness areas the naturalist visitor can witness magnificent wildlife spectacles, the equal of any on our planet.

North America may not automatically spring to mind when considering a wildlife holiday, but there is a network of wildlife refuges and reserves in every state, and the infrastructure is everything that one would expect from the most highly developed nation on Earth.

Circling back to Tucson through New Mexico, we’ll stop along the way to search for the amazing Arizona Black Rattlesnake, Patchnose Snake, and Great Plains Skink amongst many more lizards.

Stay in the heart of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts among the Sky Islands with the epic landscapes and Saguaro Cactus for which this region is world famous, using perfectly located accommodation.
