Glen and Francis did excellent jobs organizing us, getting us fed, and getting us to good spots. The dry conditions made the birding difficult but we saw lots of good stuff and there were plenty of good photo ops. if the opportunity arises I will not hesitate to travel with Glen again.
Andre proved to be an excellent lead guide and was very well supported by Mark. They had a very good knowledge of the birds of Ghana and knew where to look for them and how to locate them. They got on well and provided us with excellent company. We were very pleased with our bird list, with many rare and highly desirable species. The Picathartes was the major reason we went to Ghana and was, for us, the highlight of the trip and the views were superb.

Stephan was great! I would not hesitate to sign up again for another tour with him as leader. He worked really hard to help us find a lot of very tough birds.
I loved this tour, Andre was outstanding, very knowledgeable and eager to get everyone on the birds.
