Learn MoreI really enjoyed this tour. David was an excellent leader, and having Rob as a second guide was extremely helpful. Their knowledge, experience and abilities were top notch, and made things run quite smoothly.
We chose our China SE in Winter 2026 tour because Stephan is the guide ! Like all the trips we went with him before, we had a great time with him and the team members. Stephan was professional, knowledgable, persistent, energetic and caring. We would definitely tour with him again, in the very near future, we hope !
Really enjoyed the pace of the trip. I would encourage you to provide more Relaxed Tours in the future. Highlights for me were the Clearwater Tour and Ulva Island.
This was an extremely enjoyable and well-run tour that met or exceeded all expectations. It was evident from the start that the tour was carefully organized with great attention to detail but with flexibility for the leader to adjust the itinerary as required. When a coffee stop at a facility planned for a later overnight stay revealed evidence of poor service and questionable facilities, the leader worked with the office to arrange a far better and more conveniently located alternative. Later, after consultation with the drivers and local residents on security issues, he decided on a route change that saved considerable driving time while providing unplanned access to some excellent birding areas. Unfortunately, a not so positive security assessment later prevented a planned visit to the Jemma Valley. This tour proved to be exactly as advertised. There were some long drives on bumpy roads, some of the food was boring and a few of the overnight accommodations were a bit basic. But the birding was exceptional with virtually every target found and well seen along with a few exceptional surprise species. The pace was intense at times with some long days, but there was always sufficient time for rest. This tour was unusual in that there was no night birding. We did see a number of owls, plus a few nightjars, but all of them at day roosts. David Hoddinott is an exceptional bird tour leader, the best I have traveled with on the dozen or so birding tours I have taken. His knowledge of birds and where to find them is unmatched, as is his skill in identifying a huge diversity of species by sight and sound. And he put great energy into ensuring that everyone got good looks at every bird. Over many years of leading tours in Ethiopia he has developed and cultivated relationships with local people who guided us to some roosting owls and other interesting species. And he has developed a personal catalog of roadside locations where interesting species can reliably be found. And finally, he displayed boundless enthusiasm for finding the birds and joy in sharing each discovery. I would eagerly sign up for another tour with David.
I enjoyed the trip very much. It was a well organized tour - the itinerary was perfect to enable us to get all the Atlas endemics and North African specialties. David and Rob were both superb guiding the tour. Well done!
Both Lisle and the local guide (Ashoka) are excellent birders and made sure that all members of the group saw as many species as possible and as well as possible. The rating of excellent acknowledges the fact that some folk might consider the two lodges less than ‘perfect’ but, having birded in many geographical areas around the world, we were more than happy with their standard. Susan and I have done nine Rockjumper trips since our first in 2015 and look forward to many more.
