Newsletters - Rockjumper Birding Tours

Thank you Rockjumper for another fantastic trip! Each time I travel with you I am amazed at how smoothly things run, and I recognise the great effort by all of you to give us an incredible and worry-free expedition. Thank you for giving me some of the best memories of my life!

Know that we appreciate all that Rockjumper staff did to make this trip so wonderful and a life-altering experience. Overall the trip provided everything the brochure described – great trip as promised – birds and animals were plentiful and wonderful – looking forward to future opportunities to travel with the ABA and Rockjumper.

The trip was great. It was truly a feat by the Rockjumper folks to handle a group of that size. We had a great time, great birds and mammals, and met some wonderful people.
MG, ABA Tanzania 2018
All in all, our safari was wonderful. We were impressed with the level of organisation and the professionalism of Rockjumper’s staff. We trusted our guides and drivers to keep us safe. It was evident that they love and respect the land, the locals, and the wildlife and birds, and take their responsibilities to travellers seriously… We are recommending Rockjumper to friends and let them know how much we appreciate the integrity and competence evidenced there.

We had some very good looks at both birds and beasts. I liked that we did nightly lists while the events/birds of the day are fresh in our minds. All in all, I am still a fan of the Rockjumper organisation. I can see a lot of planning and teamwork has gone into your trips. Thanks for another great trip.
JM, ABA Tanzania 2018
Everything was fabulous, beyond our expectations. Everything went very smoothly. The guides were wonderful, as always.
CR & LR, ABA Tanzania 2018
I was very pleased with the joint ABA Rockjumper tour of Tanzania and appreciate all your efforts to make the tour unexpectedly wonderful. I think I underestimated all that Africa has to offer someone who has never experienced the continent! Your employees, each and every one I had the pleasure of birding with, are to be complimented.
CM, ABA Tanzania 2018
A fabulous trip, well organised and well executed. I only have strong recommendations for your organisation and the tour leaders. I sing your praises. Thank you for my “Trip of a Lifetime.”
BT, ABA Tanzania 2018
Thank you for organising and running the two wonderful Tanzania and Kenya birding/wildlife trips my wife and I recently enjoyed. The timing was great for seeing bird mating displays as well as a large diversity of both birds and mammals. We felt that the Rockjumper guides and drivers were all experts.

Once again, Rich Lindie did a wonderful job showing us birds. His skills are really outstanding and added substantially to the trip. The local guide, Richard Foster, was also quite exceptional. He knew his birds, was very enthusiastic about showing them to everyone, and understood just how much cultural and social information to give us. He also supplied wonderful snacks and picnic meals, doing away with the necessity to put up with dull hotel packed breakfasts. A lovely trip, very enjoyable on all counts.

Rob Williams was a fantastic guide — “Everything’s under control!” He is absolutely superb at bird identification. Rob has a great sense of humor, and a wonderful relationship with the innkeepers and vendors along our way. Yeray Seminario, our guide on the Gibraltar Extension, is a treasure! He is soft-spoken, easy-going, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about birds. I was delighted to learn that he is an eBird moderator for Spain. He directed us to several great restaurants in the Tarifa area. Alberto Bueno is a sweetheart! He is so classically Spanish and so passionate about the birds. Except for myself (!), I think he was the most enthusiastic about EVERY bird we saw. He is a delightful guide — compassionate, generous and fun. He and Rob made an unbeatable team and got along seamlessly. We saw well over 250 species of birds, enjoyed fantastic scenery, food and wine! It was a very good trip, and my thanks go to Rob, Yeray and Alberto for all their hard work.
AH, Spain 2018
We both had a very enjoyable tour with Gareth Robbins. There were a couple of occasions where we needed medical attention and our needs were taken care of in a very timely manner. We were very impressed with the professional way in which Gareth lead the tour and with his care and consideration of the tour participants. His wildlife, cultural knowledge and experiences contributed to a really great tour.
