The ornithological and photographic safari in Popenguine, on the Petite Côte, is a must-visit for all bird and wildlife enthusiasts. The Popenguine Nature Reserve, a stunning 1,009-hectare coastal sanctuary, is known for its mosaic of cliffs, savannahs, and wetlands, which attract a wide diversity of species. Accompanied by a local guide, the tour typically begins at dawn or late in the afternoon to take advantage of the ideal light for photography and maximize the chances of spotting rare or migratory species.
Depending on the season, enthusiasts can observe species such as blue rock thrushes, Alexander’s buntings, pelicans, flamingos, storks, kingfishers, fish eagles, small waders, as well as more elusive species like the noisy buttonquail. Several water points host gatherings of waterfowl, while the cliffs and forest provide natural hideouts, perfect for photographing birds in flight or during their mating displays. The marked trails allow visitors to explore the reserve peacefully, and specialized guides offer tips on spotting, observing, and capturing birds.
The safari is open to everyone, from families to seasoned ornithologists. It is recommended to make a reservation, especially during peak season or if seeking a tailored experience. Access is regulated (entrance permits, access fees), and the visit directly supports the conservation efforts led by the local community.
