Description

We are delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to go butterflying in Serbia & seek out a range of fantastic species – including False Comma!

Serbia’s nature is amongst the most intact in Europe with absolutely breathtaking scenery and many superb butterflies, including the much sought-after False Comma, False Eros Blue, and many others. Post-war Serbia is now an absolutely safe place, where the local people’s warmth welcomes tourists and nature enthusiasts from all over the world. This tour will guide you from unique sandy habitats to indigenous forests – some of Serbia’s most threatened natural areas.

Over 40 possible sites were visited before these were chosen and the itinerary is carefully planned to ensure trouble-free land travel and comfortable overnight accommodation, taking you at the same time to some of the best butterfly spots in the east, and central part of Serbia.

There are several more reasons why we believe this is the best butterfly tour you will find in Serbia:

• It is a 9 day trip, giving you more time in the field and a more relaxing holiday
• No more than 6 guests in the group mean viewing and photography opportunities will be maximised for everyone
• 2 expert guides with decades of tour leading experience and a vast bank of knowledge about butterflies and other wildlife. They can also give a lot more attention to each of our guests with such a small group size

Serbia is a land-locked country of 88.000 km2 and 7+million inhabitants, with a typical continental climate of warm summers and cold winters. The main geographical units in Serbia are the Pannonian region in the north, the peri-Pannonian region in the centre, and the mountain-and-basin region in the South. The northern province, Vojvodina is strikingly flat, while the central part we will visit is hilly and mountainous.

There are 12 Prime Butterfly habitats designated in the country with 57 of the total 207 native butterfly species considered to be threatened by the National Red Data book. Our tours’s main goal is to see and photograph the now extremely scarce False Comma, but we will have a chance to see other great butterflies, including False Eros Blue, Zephyr Blue, Lesser Lattice Brown, and many others.

Since Serbia is still considered to be a relatively unexplored country regarding butterflies, our data gathering will have a definite scientific value, with high possibility of finding new or interesting records for the country’s fauna.
