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 MoreDusan was a great guide. His prep everyday for the best locations specifically to visit for the specialty birds was outstanding and mostly successful. The local crew were also outstanding. Bablu is a great source of all information and a very pleasant travelling companion. The driver and his assistant came up with an outstanding plan to retrieve my forgotten phone. The long drives were taxing but I understand as the distance between areas we visited were extensive. The food was way better than I had expected. All the hotels were great.
This tour turned out to be just what I was looking for in a "relaxed" tour: lots of interesting and challenging birds in a variety of habitats, great companions, a well-designed itinerary, and a pace that allowed for enough sleep :-). Wagner was an excellent guide; his knowledge of the birds of the area was encyclopedic, and his ability to hear, spot, and bring them in where we could get decent looks was really remarkable. He was also very flexible, attentive to our various needs, helpful, and great fun to be with. The group was three older women; I am walking with a cane, relying on carrying along a camp stool anytime we are standing around waiting for a bird to respond, and have trouble walking downhill. He quickly started avoiding those downward inclines. He also quickly realized that yes, we did indeed want to see those somewhat harder forest birds, it is just that these days we all just kind of hit a wall and stop having fun after about 8 hours of birding in a day. Wagner did a great job of arranging our days, generally with forest birding in the morning, and marsh or such later in the afternoon, and either a substantial mid-day break or an early finish. Food was varied and delicious. That's all I can think of; I was delighted with the tour, and I am pleased to see that Rockjumper is expanding its "relaxed" options. Thank you for being willing to offer this tour with just 3 of us!
The Buru extension following the RWPI Cruise was fantastic. I feel sorry for those on the main tour that did not take this extension. The birds were fabulous, Glen was a superb guide, and the scenery great. Glen did a great job trying to get us on all the birds, even the most rare and elusive. Again, flexibility was a key element in the success of the trip. I can't think of anything about the trip that could be done to improve it.
I have waited a while before responding. Firstly I should like to say this was one of the best birding trips I have ever been on.(20+ and counting) Before I went I was concerned that 12 clients were too many. However Greg worked extremely hard with Hu and Richard to try to get everyone on every bird. He quickly summed up our respective birding abilities and responded to that with the help he provided. Thankfully there were very few 'narrow jungle paths' where the number inevitably restricted opportunities. I particularly appreciated the regular ebird lists which left me more time to concentrate on the actual birds and not scribbling in my notebook.
This is an outstanding tour which showcases many geographical sites, wonderful birds and some fantastic mammals. Etosha NP is a jewel but so are several other places we visited, notably Erongo. Our lodges were all really comfortable and some were superb. Julian is an outstanding guide: very knowledgeable, pleasant, and committed to making his guests have an exceptional time. We have done a lot of trips with Rockjumper but this is certainly one of the very best and I recommend it very highly.
What 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!
