Leadership
Pavel Simeonov leads most of the tours personally. He is one of Bulgaria's leading
naturalists and ornithologists, one of the Swarovski Recommended Bird
Guides. Being actively involved with conservation programmes at national
and international level Pavel is able to provide a wealth of background
information on wildlife matters, and indeed on cultural topics. He has
conducted numerous trips as a bird-guide and leader. Qualified as an international
expert on environmental and biodiversity conservation projects he is also
the founder of the Le Balkan-Bulgaria non-profit organization. He is involved
in different studies on the “Via Pontica” flyway (along the Bulgarian
Black Sea coast), several monitoring and management projects on globally
threatened species, mid-winter counts of water birds and raptors and many
other international programs for the development of eco-tourism.

Air Travel
It has never been easier to reach the Bulgarian Black Sea as British Airways now flies direct to VARNA (just south of Albena). Another option could be to take a charter flight offered by Balkan Holidays from May to September. It is also possible to fly to Burgas or Constantza. For this we take an extra charge of EUR 50 to cover the tour leader’s travel expenses.
This is entirely optional leaving you completely free to make personally your flight reservations and to pursue your travel arrangements with an airline company or your own travel agent. Please contact us if you would like further clarification: office@branta-tours.co.uk
