Since its formation, Rockjumper Birding Tours has been supporting the conservation of the birds that bring us many delightful hours of sheer bird watching pleasure.
Learn MoreWhat a fantastic trip and a wonderful way to enjoy Spain! Yeray is an amazing guide who made sure that everyone got to see the target birds. He made the trip enjoyable with a great sense of humor and was very accommodating and kind. Spain is a beautiful country and we stayed at some incredible hotels in lovely surroundings close to amazing birds and countryside. Both the Spain Main tour and the extension were remarkable. Thank you Rockjumper and Yeray! Marcia
I liked the fact that we didn't have to fly inside the country. This allowed us to see more of the countryside.
Ryan was outstanding .. patient and thoughtful. we got a lot of very difficult birds… we got lucky and he made it fun and exciting all in one … and we got all on most all birds :.. his knowledge was outstanding of the birds and mammals and our pelagic too good job Ryan
This tour will take you to the beautiful and interesting Cape Town area and many other areas of the country that tourists often overlook. There are many fairly long bus rides, but the bus was first rate for such a tour and the roads, with the exception of the gravel roads, were smooth and well maintained. Our leader Paul Josop really took care of us and went out of his way to make sure everything ran smoothly and that individual needs were met. His knowledge of the birds was phenomenal and he could ID everything by sight or sound. Very patient and intent on making sure everyone had a chance to see everything. A great personality and a caring person. We kept a bag of untouched breakfast and lunch foods and he made sure a needy person got it. Impressive. The lodging and food were very good to outstanding. Comfortable. At Haut and About B and B and other lodges the food was freshly prepared for the group and the dining settings had local atmosphere. The pelagic trip and trip to see the Gannets were of great interest, and everyday there were lifers to be seen. Final thoughts. This is more a birding trip than photography trip, altho I did get some good shots. I took my 600mm f4 and wished I had left it at home. Used it once. Too many stops and the blinds we did use were small. I typically used my Canon 100-500, often with a 1.4 teleconverter and others used the same lens. There was a Nikon 180-600 in use. All good choices. A great experience for my first time in Africa. Way to go, Rockjumper!
I have been with a lot of leaders from many companies and Lev is right up there with the best. I would be glad to go anywhere with him. He is good at identifying the birds and getting us onto the difficult ones. He works well with the local leader and the van drivers. He is good at letting us know what to expect for each day. His time management, moving us on to the next step is great. He does one of the best evening reports of leaders I have been with. He speaks loudly enough, moves through the report at a good pace, doesn't try to add numbers of birds seen. When I had to step away during the report he left me his report so I could catch up which was very thoughtful. He did send us ebird reports during the day as well. As to the Relaxed Tour Format. It was perfect- The relaxed part comes from being able to stay at most hotels several nights. 6 am breakfast is relaxed-We would have seen more birds with earlier starts but that wasn't the point. As it was, I was able to see about 50 life birds which is very good considering I have been birding in that part of Asia quite a bit. Getting back to accommodations with usually a couple of hours before dinner is relaxed. Having only one meal on the trail and all others at the hotel or in a restaurant is relaxed. The vans were seriously relaxed with even wifi on board. The morning hot drink and snacks breaks is relaxed. I hope you can view the photo at the bottom. Some of the other participants had not been on many bird tours and didn't fully understand how relaxed this was in comparison to most tours. Uthai was a delight. He is a bit of a foodie and very carefully chose the dishes for our meals and explained them and wanted to see how we were doing with them. He introduced us to new fruits and foods and eating experiences. I was so honored to be on a tour with such a well known Thai Bird Leader
Tour Review – Kenya Mega Birding Tour Our experience on this tour was truly exceptional, and the main reason for that was our tour leader, Stephan Lorenz. Stephan is, without question, the best birding guide we have ever had. His guiding style is remarkable: relentless in the field, always pushing to find the birds no matter the conditions, while maintaining a calm, patient, and positive attitude throughout long days. He has an almost supernatural ability to detect birds and an extraordinary depth of knowledge. Beyond identification, he actively teaches participants to become better birders, sharing techniques, fieldcraft, and intuition in a way that is both inspiring and accessible. Stephan is also incredibly organized and consistently makes sure that every day runs smoothly. He always ensures that everyone sees the birds—not just those who spot them first. He manages group dynamics beautifully, avoids conflicts before they even arise, and creates a warm, cohesive, and supportive atmosphere. His patience and dedication are unmatched. In short: he is an exceptional guide, the best we’ve ever travelled with, and the main reason this tour was such a success for us. We will absolutely choose future Rockjumper tours where Stephan is the leader. Regarding the tour itself: The lodges were generally excellent—some truly outstanding, others more standard but still very good. The only exception was the Blue Post Hotel, where it seems we were given quite outdated rooms compared to what is advertised. Our only real regret is that the itinerary did not include the Masai Mara. While we did see carnivores—including fantastic sightings of leopards—the Mara offers much higher concentrations of wildlife overall: large prides of lions, bigger herds of elephants, massive numbers of antelopes, and that classic East African savanna experience. Including it, or at least offering a 3–4 day extension, would add immense value to the tour. Missing the Mara felt a bit like visiting France but skipping the Eiffel Tower. Apart from that, the experience was superb. The group was wonderful, the birding outstanding, and the journey an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We had an unforgettable time, and we look forward to travelling with Rockjumper again—especially on tours led by Stephan.
