What our clients say about us

James Wade Lee
KB, Kenya & Tanzania - Birds & Big Game (Small Group) III 2026

Wade was fantastic. He has a great personality and so much knowledge. His guiding was even better than we hoped to experience.

Ryan Tyrer
JG, Kenya & Tanzania - Birds & Big Game (Small Group) I 2026

I really appreciated Ryan as a guide, he worked for us 110% to maximize our observations.

Glen Valentine
ID, Kenya 2021

Great trip – close encounters with a lot of target birds and mammals, exciting habitats, comfortable accommodations and an outstanding guide. Glen must be one of the foremost authorities on African birds and I learned a great deal from him regarding ecology, behaviour, systematics and conservation.

Quinton Paul Josop
MS, Kenya - Highlights 2026

This was our first Rockjumper tour and we had such a good time, we have already booked a second tour. Rockjumper is an incredibly well-organized group and we didn't have any travel or housing-related issues during the entire trip. I'm sure Rockjumper is not the least expensive tour group you can travel with, but in this case I believe you get what you pay for. Our guide Quinton "Paul" Josop was amazing. His knowledge of birds was incredible and his enthusiasm was contagious. He was a lot of fun to travel with. In fact he was such a good guide we chose our second trip specifically because he was also a guide for that trip. We can't wait to travel again!

Ryan Tyrer
SI, Kenya & Tanzania - Birds & Big Game (Small Group) II 2026

The tour was great. The administration pre-tour was not. We received an itinerary that was backwards - starting in Arusha, whereas we started in Nairobi. We didn’t find out about where we were staying until very late, which made our own arrangements difficult. There were a lot of confusion about where we were staying in Nairobi, and we booked the BOMA Inn for two nights prior, thinking that was where we were staying but it wasn’t. But it was too late to change it to the BOMA. The itinerary featured a lot of driving which was wearing. The first jeep we had for Kenya was sub-standard. There were literally bits falling off the vehicle. The first thing we had to do is get new windscreen wipers put on which took about 30 min. The back seats were very tight and the cushion on one was ripped and uncomfortable. When we got to Tanzania we had a brand new vehicle which was much better. I don’t agree with treating the drivers differently to the guide. I think this is a very colonial approach and segregating them to different accommodation and meals is discriminatory, given the work they do and the long days they work. On the positive side both drivers were excellent, particularly Kevin, the first driver who was an excellent birder. Ryan was an excellent guide. He was highly organised, helped us all to see the birds and was always pleasant and friendly. We would travel with him again. The accommodation was excellent, as was the food. Rockjumper is an expensive tour company relative to some others. It was our first time with Rockjumper and we would consider travelling with you again. Thanks to Ryan and the drivers for a very memorable experience. Suse
