Welcome to Oliva Rama Tours
Our Aim To provide wildlife & birdwatching holidays that will be enjoyed by all levels of enthusiast from the beginner to the most target focused. The holidays & short breaks always look to strike a balance ensuring the ultimate feeling of an enjoyable and relaxing time.

We will also endeavour to make all our tours as comfortable and relaxed as possible, with special attention to relating our knowledge and experience over the course of the trip. If this doesn't convince you to procede further then please take a look at our Testimonials page and see what our valued, returning customers say about Oliva Rama Tours Julian Sykes (proprietor) Featured Holiday & Short Break October 13th - 17th 2010 (3 places) We are visiting one of the remotest areas of Spain, the 'Sierra de Culebra'. Our primary objective will be to locate one of Europe's rarest mammals - Iberian Wolf, and this reserve holds a major percentage of Spain's total population of 2500 - 3000 individuals. Yet despite a sizable population wolves are very difficult to see being a naturally shy and distrusting species following decades of persecution from man. Time will be spent stood quietly waiting & watching for this very elusive mammal mainly at dawn and dusk when they are at their most active and likely to reveal themselves. However while we are there we should be also be looking to find Wild Boar, Fox, Red & Roe Deer The rest of the time will be spent visiting the surrounding areas, especially Villafafila and it's adjacent low-intensive agricultural lands that has Spain's largest concentration of Great Bustard. The Rio Duero forms the border between Spain & Portugal as it carves a winding course through steep sided valleys, home to many breeding raptor species. In summary this tour will provide ample time in which to enjoy the rich wildlife of the area, but it is our quest for the Iberian Wolf that will be our ultimate goal. Our accommodation is in the heart of the sierra and perfectly positioned for easy access to the best wolf watching areas, and not only is it a fantastic place to stay but the owner has worked very closely with the local rangers and has up-to-the-minute information on the wolves and their where-abouts.
