Nigel Redman
CG, Ethiopia - Endemic Birding 2026

I had a wonderful time. Thanks!

Lev Frid
EM, Guyana - Birds & Wildlife II 2025

Lev was the perfect guide- knowledgeable, professional, polite, reliable. And well-dressed for the occasion with his bird-themed T-shirts! Everything was well organized and went smooth.

Nigel Redman
CG, Ethiopia - Lalibela Extension 2026

Our local guide was very nice; however his English language skills could be improved. The accommodation was very nice. I have told many people about Rockjumper. I value the time and effort spent in ensuring our trips are memorable. I can’t sing the praises of the office staff enough. Thanks so much. I’m already looking for my next trip with you. Katy

Stephan Lorenz
HL, Bolivia - Palkachupa Cotinga & Inti Tanager Extension 2025

The trip was run superbly from start to finish. The logistics, despite some difficulties imposed by weather conditions and countrywide fuel shortages, were impeccable and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Stephan did a superb job in ensuring that we all saw as many of the species as possible. He is an accomplished guide and I enjoy traveling with him.
