This year, 2023, marks Rockjumper’s 25th birthday and we are thrilled to bring you a brand new, exciting program that gives you every opportunity to explore our planet, and in the process see not only a wonderful array of the world’s birds, wildlife, scenic splendour, people, cultures and more but also a chance of finding every single currently recognised bird family.

Register today for our ‘Bird Families’ program and enjoy some incredible savings on your upcoming birding tours.

See also our free e-book which provides some great information on the 25 countries selected under the program and where the most critical bird families can be found. Woodpeckers, herons, ducks, and swallows are widespread for example and many species can be seen in a variety of locations. They are all easy families to find and need no specific mention within the e-book. Others however such as Magellanic Plover, Hylocitrea, Kagu and Shoebill are different and require specific tours to specific countries to find. Our free e-book unpacks it all for you. Sign-up and download it now.

How the ‘Bird Families’ Program Works

Sign up below or e-mail info@rockjumper.com directly to register for the program.

Registration ends 31st December 2023.

No cost or obligation involved.

We have carefully selected 25 countries that if visited, on a Rockjumper scheduled tour, give you every opportunity of finding all the currently recognised bird families. See below for the list of countries that qualify for the ‘Bird Families’ program. Within the countries selected we have outlined the tours that give you the very best chance of seeing the critical bird families and these are the tours that qualify for the ‘Bird Families’ program discounts.

Your next tour with Rockjumper (any qualifying tour in 2023 or 2024 even if you have booked already) qualifies for a 2.5% discount provided it is one of those listed under the Bird Families Program below.

Thereafter you have a maximum of 6 years to sign up for 6 further Rockjumper tours that fall under those listed for the Bird Families Program below. You will receive discounts on the tours as follows: 5% on your 2nd tour, 7.5% on your 3rd tour, 10% on your 4th tour, 12.5% on your 5th tour, 15% on your 6th tour and a whopping 17.5% on your 7th tour!

You can take a maximum of 7 tours under the Bird Families Program. A tour must be taken at least once every calendar year otherwise future discounts are forfeited. The tours can be taken in less than 7 years but not longer. The Bird Families Program is only valid for the scheduled Rockjumper tours outlined below and the tours must be booked directly with Rockjumper to qualify.
