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 MoreThe tour exceeded my expectations. Nigel Redman and our local expert Bryan were exceptional and made the tour the success it was. I couldn't recommend enough.
This was my first Rockjumper tour. It was a really fantastic experience. Bobby Wilcox was great as a lead tour guide. He had a thorough knowledge of the birds and their calls. Always hustling to find birds and bring them into view, making sure everyone got a good look. Couldn't ask for more. Our local guide, Eric, was also excellent. Incredibly thorough knowledge of not just the birds and their calls, but their taxonomy, butterfly ID, plant ID, etc. An all around excellent naturalist of Mexico. They made a great team. Will definitely be doing more tours with Rockjumper in the future.
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.
I have been with a lot of leaders from many companies and Lev is right up there with the best. I would be glad to go anywhere with him. He is good at identifying the birds and getting us onto the difficult ones. He works well with the local leader and the van drivers. He is good at letting us know what to expect for each day. His time management, moving us on to the next step is great. He does one of the best evening reports of leaders I have been with. He speaks loudly enough, moves through the report at a good pace, doesn't try to add numbers of birds seen. When I had to step away during the report he left me his report so I could catch up which was very thoughtful. He did send us ebird reports during the day as well. As to the Relaxed Tour Format. It was perfect- The relaxed part comes from being able to stay at most hotels several nights. 6 am breakfast is relaxed-We would have seen more birds with earlier starts but that wasn't the point. As it was, I was able to see about 50 life birds which is very good considering I have been birding in that part of Asia quite a bit. Getting back to accommodations with usually a couple of hours before dinner is relaxed. Having only one meal on the trail and all others at the hotel or in a restaurant is relaxed. The vans were seriously relaxed with even wifi on board. The morning hot drink and snacks breaks is relaxed. I hope you can view the photo at the bottom. Some of the other participants had not been on many bird tours and didn't fully understand how relaxed this was in comparison to most tours. Uthai was a delight. He is a bit of a foodie and very carefully chose the dishes for our meals and explained them and wanted to see how we were doing with them. He introduced us to new fruits and foods and eating experiences. I was so honored to be on a tour with such a well known Thai Bird Leader
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.
Our trip to Madagascar was wonderful! Rockjumper did a great job with tour logistics, lodging, etc. Best of all was our guide! Lev Frid is an amazing birding/nature guide. He is incredibly good at not only hearing, identifying and finding the birds, but Lev is also able to quickly (and patiently) help all the tour participants get on the birds. In addition, he is just a really fun guy to be with. His sense of humor kept us laughing and his wealth of birding stories kept everyone interested and engaged during the trip. It was amazing to see the wildlife of Madagascar and having Lev as a guide made our experience that much better.
