Summary
This gentle-paced journey through the heart of Georgia offers a rich blend of natural history, cultural heritage, and scenic beauty. After taking a direct flight to the country’s capital, Tbilisi, we will be immersed in the country’s warm hospitality and sweeping landscapes. We will transfer to the spa town of Borjomi, our carefully chosen base for the holiday.
During our week we will visit Nadarbazevi and Tabatskuri Lakes, where flocks of ducks, waders, and terns gather in abundance. The surrounding highlands also offer excellent opportunities to observe raptors and wildflowers, while a visit to a local winery adds a wonderful cultural and culinary dimension to the tour. The pace remains unhurried, with ample time for photography, quiet observation, and enjoying the scenery.
The tour concludes with a visit to the atmospheric Green Monastery, offering a moment of reflection before departure. This is a journey for those who appreciate nature at a slower rhythm, with time to savour each encounter, and follows the great success of our Georgia - Wildlife, Wine & History holiday.
- Visit Nadarbazevi and Tabatskuri Lakes, with their remarkable diversity of waterfowl, waders, and raptors, including the majestic Eastern Imperial Eagle and the elegant White-winged Tern.
- Enjoy a relaxed afternoon of Georgian wine-tasting at a family-run winery nestled in the hills of Tsedisi.
- Explore the Tskhratskaro Pass, where alpine meadows bloom with wildflowers and the air is filled with the calls of larks and vegetation dotted with perched shrikes.

- Tour dates planned to coincide with British Airways direct flights.

Tour Leader: Giorgi Natsvlishvili
By becoming a full-time tour leader in 2017, Giorgi made his passion for natural history his vocation, while still maintaining ties with his political studies. Guiding is also conducive to his efforts to further explore his homeland which, luckily for him, happens to be one of the most interesting, varied and biodiverse destinations in the Western Palearctic.
His fascination with natural world began at a young age, during firewood harvesting trips to forest with his Grandfather, and Giorgi continues to visit his favorite patches every chance he gets. Giorgi is enthused in conservation of species, raising awareness and furthering research. Vehicle for his humble contribution is his general love for photography, some of which have been published in several scientific papers and a wildlife guide to Georgia.
