Rollers & Vultures: Photo Journey through Bulgaria and Greece

Our specialized photography tour invites you to make stunning pictures of some of the most striking species in European birdlife: the colored European Roller, the European bee-eater and the majestic trio of vultures – Egyptian, Griffon, and Cinereous.

From well-positioned photo hides, you’ll have the chance to capture close-up images of rare raptors and songbirds in two of the Balkan Peninsula’s most celebrated birding locations: Madzharovo — known as the “Kingdom of Vultures” — and the Dadia–Lefkimi–Soufli National Park, a biodiversity hotspot just across the Greek border.

This is a boutique tour aimed at bird photographers who want access to well-established locations with a high success rate and professional guidance. We keep the group small to ensure the best experience and shooting conditions.

This is a private tour, fully customizable to your interests, pace, and photography goals — just let us know what excites you most, and we’ll shape the experience around it.

Availability is limited due to the small group format — get in touch to start planning your custom photo tour.

Madzharovo, nestled in the heart of an ancient volcanic crater, is a true paradise for birdwatchers — a place where majestic vultures soar above rugged cliffs and birdwatching begins the moment you step outside. Surrounded by dramatic rock formations and the meandering Arda River, this Eastern Rhodope gem offers encounters with species like Griffon, Egyptian, and Cinereous Vultures, Blue Rock Thrush, Black Stork, and many more.

Dadia National Park is a mosaic of oak forests, meadows, and rocky outcrops, widely regarded as one of Greece’s richest biodiversity hotspots. While it is best known for its raptors, including all four of Europe’s vulture species, its scenic trails and unspoiled landscapes make every walk a delight — with wildflowers, butterflies, and surprise bird sightings along the way.
