What our clients say about us

David Hoddinott
FM - Cameroon 2024

My answers do not reflect the quality of Rockjumpers, which was superb. I just did not like the deplorable conditions of the country. It was a very rugged trip, as advertised. We did see a lot of birds, many rare and endangered. David was incredibly brilliant and helpful all the way. The country not so much. I have too many comments to list now.

David Hoddinott
IN - Cameroon 2024

An excellent tour. David was a great guide and not only found all the difficult species but also navigated us through the Cameroonian logistical difficulties (along with the wonderful fixer, Jean-Pierre) that were frequently encountered.

David Hoddinott
BB, Cameroon 2024

Good trip to a not regularly traveled country. Sometimes it was improvising, but the tour leader and ground agent solved everything well. Excellent guiding and saw a lot of the target birds well. Also beforehand everything was well arranged and communicated by the office team.
