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 MoreBobby Wilcox is an excellent guide. He is a skilled birder and clearly worked hard to prepare for the trip. It is a different experience being in a group of 8 with a guide (+ local guide) compared to just the two of us with a dedicated guide (on our custom tour), and it took us a little while to adapt to that, but we really enjoyed the trip. Most members of our group of 8 clients had extensive worldwide birding experience, whilst our expertise was much more limited. Bobby did a good job of supporting us and making sure that everyone got to see as many birds as possible and enjoyed the trip. We would be very happy to go on another tour with Bobby in the future. As mentioned previously in our "Northern Ecuador" feedback - we were very happy with the support that we received from Rockjumper. Thanks very much - we had a wonderful time!
Glen is an especially wonderful guide. He is patient,very knowledgeable and never gets flustered. A great guy!
This tour will take you to the beautiful and interesting Cape Town area and many other areas of the country that tourists often overlook. There are many fairly long bus rides, but the bus was first rate for such a tour and the roads, with the exception of the gravel roads, were smooth and well maintained. Our leader Paul Josop really took care of us and went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly and that individual needs were met. His knowledge of the birds was phenomenal and he could ID everything by sight or sound. Very patient and intent on making sure everyone had a chance to see everything. A great personality and a caring person. We kept a bag of untouched breakfast and lunch foods and he made sure a needy person got it. Impressive. The lodging and food were very good to outstanding. Comfortable. At Haut and About B and B and other lodges the food was freshly prepared for the group and the dining settings had local atmosphere. The pelagic trip and trip to see the Gannets were of great interest, and everyday there were lifers to be seen. Final thoughts. This is more a birding trip than photography trip, altho I did get some good shots. I took my 600mm f4 and wished I had left it at home. Used it once. Too many stops and the blinds we did use were small. I typically used my Canon 100-500, often with a 1.4 teleconverter and others used the same lens. There was a Nikon 180-600 in use. All good choices. A great experience for my first time in Africa. Way to go, Rockjumper!
We very much appreciate Erik Forsyth's sense of humor and gentle style. Of course, Bryan and Koichi provided the local knowledge and experience. We have family in Japan so we travel there often. It was a pleasure getting to know more of the birds of Japan and visit some of the more remote islands. We are scheduled for a Fall trip with Rockjumper and will undoubtedly use your services in the future.
Alex and Alcides were both excellent. They were well organized, very helpful and good company. They both used lasers which helped a great deal. Many guides refuse to use them now and as a result I often can not follow their verbal directions. The accommodation and meals were very good. I enjoyed the group members and we got on very well and everyone was on the birds very quickly. Alcides is a very skilled and careful driver who knows all the sites plus some secret ones. I recommend this tour to anyone. i saw my second last family on the first morning along a lovely quiet road.
Amazing job on the Kruger Challenger, your team was amazing in handling all of the details, and “challenges”. Jan did a great job on the Cape Town tour.
