What To Expect

Southern Highlands

Meet your Sydney Bespoke Tours guide at the meeting point to begin an afternoon and evening of wildlife spotting in the wild. Depart Sydney for the 90 minute drive south to the picturesque town of Bowral. En route, learn about the animals we are likely to find, some we might spot, and how we will record any sightings. On arrival, enjoy a light lunch before learning about local wildlife conservation projects, monitoring programs, and the signs to look for when tracking our more elusive wildlife. The rest of the afternoon will be spent spotting wildlife at several locations. The area hosts an abundance of birds - from the universally-loved kookaburra to a host of colourful parrots, including Crimson Rosella, Eastern Rosella, Galah, Yellow-tailed and Glossy black cockatoo, and even emu - as well as some of our most iconic animals, such as echidna. In the evening, enjoy a well-earned dinner at an historic pub before returning to Sydney.

Wow… the best safari to see wildlife and nature in Australia!! I joined this tour with high expectations and it was so much more!!! Starting with my guide, Steve, he was incredibly kind and friendly the whole time, and such a cheerful tour guide who always answered my questions and shared so many interesting facts all day long! He truly made this a one of a kind experience! He’s very knowledgeable about animals and nature, and he came super well prepared with nice vehicle, warm jackets for the cold, water, lunch, a red flashlight for night vision, and so much more. We were able to spot a great amount of wildlife: over 20 sightings on our list! We kept track of every animal we saw. We spotted kangaroos, emus, a lot of local birds and even a platypus and other diurnal and nocturnal animals! We walked through the amazing nature while we look for animals and that was a very pleasant experience. Plus, the whole tour itinerary was fascinating and very well rounded, with amazing wildlife sightings, great food, and wonderful company. I’m honestly blown away by how incredible this tour was... five stars just isn’t enough. Thank you so much, Steve, for ending my trip on such a high note! I'll never forget this experience. It was wonderful! Greetings from Mexico!

Great wildlife experience as the guide prepare lunch for the group then bring the group to wild forest to see different kind of animals. Suggest the wildlife for small group and if family bring small kids has to be careful of the forest road.

My guide, Steve, was very pleasant and equally knowledgeable. He provided everything we needed for a wonderful excursion—binoculars, umbrella, warm coat, red flashlight for night viewing, and even a charging cable for my cellphone (I forgot mine in my hotel room).

I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. To start with the team are fantastic, they are great company on your adventure and impart their extensive knowledge, with humour, thoughout the trip. No trip to see wildlife can ever guarantee a sighting, on my trip I was lucky enough to see duck billed platypus, wombat, possum, emu, kangaroo, countless birds with a myriad of colours and sounds (the list is too long). If you're in Sydney and want to see wild Australian wildlife (not zoo life), this is definitely the trip for you. It's fantastic.
