400 Bird Species, Gorillas, and Great Memories: Our 14-day Uganda Tour
5/5

Our group of five birders joined a 14-day private birding tour that also included gorilla and chimpanzee trekking. We were thrilled to see over 400 bird species, and the gorilla encounter was unforgettable — it came within just two metres of us!

We are very satisfied with Alex, our bird guide. He is exceptionally professional and deeply passionate about Uganda’s birds. The birding route was very well planned and easy to follow, even for the three members of our group who are over 70 years old.

The accommodations were excellent, meeting Western standards, and the food was consistently good with Western-style menus. All the birding sites felt completely safe.

We highly recommend their tours to anyone interested in birding and wildlife in Uganda.

Highly knowlegeable, Professional, focused and a pleasure to be with throughout the 16 days
5/5

We were really happy with our birding guide Isaac and driver Baraka on our recent 16 day trip to northern Tanzania and the Usambara mountains. Isaac was very patient and a great teacher for us on East Africa birds. As a birder he is highly experienced and his fieldcraft was outstanding. He knows lots of hotspots intimately and he knows where and how to locate lots of highly restricted east African endemics. We found him to be impressive technically, and he was very comfortable to discuss races and potential splits and lumps. We found Isaac to be a dedicated professional - he does not like us to miss anything. He also enjoys having fun as well and the banter with him and Baraka was a very positive part of the trip. Most importantly we found them to be very good company over a pretty intense 16 day trip. Summing up, I would recommend Isaac to any serious birder wanting to see Tanzania and other parts of east Africa too. Credit too to Davis for the overall coordination of the trip. Together you all gave us a marvellous experience that we will long cherish.
