Cameroon is a vast and diverse land; lying just north of the equator, this bird-rich nation forms the inter-grade between West and Central Africa and harbours a wide range of habitats, ranging from steamy lowland rainforest to Sahelian semi-desert. By combining our Rainforest & Rockfowl tour with our Northern Extension you have an unbeatable three-week Cameroon birding tour that visits all of the area’s core ecological zones and provides a thorough coverage of this, West Africa’s richest birding destination. Due to its wealth of habitats, over 900 bird species have been recorded, and 26 endemic or near-endemic species occur, most of which you can expect to see on this tour! If you have a sense of adventure and an interest in the birds of the African continent, then this is a destination you simply cannot afford to miss. We greatly look forward to sharing the avian riches of West Africa with you on this incredible tour!

2023 - After several years of intermittent security issues, Cameroon has stabilised, allowing safe and secure access to all the key birding sites.

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.

Glen Valentine
RL, Cameroon 2025

Thank you so much for helping me through this tough but amazing tour. Your patience and persistence continue to amaze me.

David Hoddinott
HS, Cameroon - Rockfowls & Rainforests II 2026

My comments are meant to cover both the main tour and the extension. This was an unusually difficult tour, but I expected that. I was unable to complete the hikes on Mt. Cameroon and Mt. Kupe, which cost me a few birds. It would have been better had I taken this tour when I was younger (I am now 77). Still, this was a worthwhile tour and I saw the birds that were most important to me. David did an excellent job of guiding, as usual. I believe this was my 5th tour with him. He is very good at finding and identifying birds. The trip went about as well as could be expected. I am not a big fan of Cameroon. The food was better than I expected, but accommodations, roads, and vehicles were all sub-standard, even by African standards.

André Bernon
JVS, Cameroon - Rockfowls & Rainforests I 2026

The nature of travel in Cameroon can be tough. Andre did a good job to make things work and find as many species as is practical. I would be happy to travel with him again in future

David Hoddinott
IK, Cameroon - Rockfowls & Rainforests II 2026

The Cameroon Birding Trip 2026 (including the Northern Extension) with David Hoddinott was excellent despite of all the difficulties that this country is facing for many years already and therefore the logistics being a challenge also for the great ground operations team. David is an extraordinary good guide with extremely sharp eyes and ears, and he managed the birding very wise, focussed and successful, so that we were able to see and even to take photos of most of the target birds. We enjoyed this adventurous trip very much, had about 80 lifers (more than we expected) and additionally had a lot of fun with a friendly and tough guide and a motivated birding group!
