Zimanga’s mobile bee-eater hide was discontinued as we found that our vehicles make for better opportunities for bee-eater photography. This allows you the option to move according to light direction, backgrounds and activity levels. In addition, bee-eater photography are nowadays combined with a safari drive, and after an hour or two with the bee-eaters you can easily move to any other animal sighting that might take place during your time spent with the colony.

It is impossible to predict the bee-eaters’ breeding times and cycles, but our guides are always on the lookout to find new breeding sites. The prime season for bee-eaters falls within our winter to spring (roughly July to September), and should the area be accessible, the hide will be placed for optimum lighting and backgrounds.
