Since its formation, Rockjumper Birding Tours has been supporting the conservation of the birds that bring us many delightful hours of sheer bird watching pleasure.
Learn MoreWhat a great experience! Everything was as you told us in the pre-departure literature, so we were well-prepared. Rob was an excellent tour leader. His vast experience in conservation, core knowledge of birds and bird behavior, and his enthusiasm was generously shared with the group. He modeled proper trail behavior and made sure that everyone “saw the bird”. The local guides were top-notch and took good care of the group. I also learned so much from the better birders in the group. Highly recommended!
From the Cameroon Main & Extension 2025 I returned back home tired but very happy ! It was a very challenging but well prepared and rewarding tour. a couple of well chosen sites, many unique birds, a good mix between general and focussed birding. And yes Glen Valentine ! He knows humans and birds as well as few guides. He is a wonderful person and a worldclass no. 1 birding and travel guide.
Glen and Dusan are excellent guide and a pleasure to travel with. The birding was difficult at times but I really enjoy this type of birding. The birds with were able to find and we found most were very special birds and each one was a trill to see. I really enjoy learning from Dusan and Glen. We plan to tour with both of them again in the future.
While the birding may have been challenging at times and given the hot, humid jungle conditions, it was a fabulous way to find so many unique and often endemic birds. Our guides -Glen Valentine and Dusan Brinkhuizen were incredibly capable in finding and showing us the birds and made this trip a very enjoyable experience. We were well taken care of aboard the ship and what a great way to visit these special islands. We would highly recommend this trip. Sharon and Rick
Paul Josop is, simply put, an outstanding birding ( and all-round nature) guide. His knowledge base is superior. His ability to search for and locate species in the field was extraordinary. his enthusiasm unmatched! It was a pleasure to tour under his tutelage. He was patient with the less experienced in our group while successfully satisfying the more rabid among us. I enjoyed his sense of humour. We had an unfortunate incident ( no fault of the tour itself ) during the tour. He responded with appropriate concern and quickly took charge of the situation which was resolved without difficulty. I would tour with him again without any reservation. I would also comment that we had the privilege of being paired with Dirk who served as driver and co-guide for the Kruger segment of the tour. He knows the park and its residents like the back of his hand. The synergy between Dirk and Paul enhanced our experience measurably.
My husband and I just returned from the "Kenya and Tanzania Birds and Big Game, Small Group #2" tour. Our tour was everything we hoped it would be and more. We especially want to compliment our guide, Paul Josop. Paul really, really made this trip. There are tons of excellent birders and naturalist guides, and Paul certainly is one of the best. His ability to spot and recall the names and details of the animal (and many plants!) was terrific. That said, there is a lot more to guiding than being a top-notch naturalist. Paul is charismatic, enthusiastic, always considerate of the safety and well-being of his clients, and, simply, a joy to be around. He handles difficult situations (and there will always be some) with wisdom. We'd love to participate in another tour with Paul and hope to do so in the future.
