What our clients say about us

André Bernon
SC, Ghana 2021

Andre is an excellent lead guide – extremely good with people and logistics as well as birds and other wildlife. We would select another tour lead by him in a second.

André Bernon
AO, Ghana 2021

The tour was excellent and exceeded all my expectations. Andre was excellent and good fun.

Gregory de Klerk
MM - Ghana 2024

Greg did a great job leading the tour, communicating clearly with participants and getting everyone onto the birds as best that could be done. The local guide Paul was equally excellent and a great complimentary foil for Greg. A very smoothly run tour ! Thanks also to Crystal, Hayley and Sarah for making the whole admin process so simple; much appreciated.

Quinton Paul Josop
RS, Ghana - Mega Birding Tour I 2025

Paul and our local guide were excellent guides. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the birds and their locations.

Tuomas Seimola
DK & PK, Ghana 2018

Tuomas Seimola is a great find. He’s a fantastic birder, and even though it was his first trip to W Africa, he is an obvious quick study. Tuomas is steady, personable, and funny. He wasn’t just the leader of our good group, but part of the group.  We really enjoyed and appreciated him.
