Ranomafana is situated on the eastern slope of Madagascar’s mountainous backbone and spans a wide range of elevations and forest types. Our short extension to gives us the opportunity to find several rare and localised mammals such as Golden Bamboo Lemur and Milne-Edwards’s Sifaka. This is an excellent site for the attractive Pitta-like Ground Roller, as well as offering us further chances for a good proportion of endemics, including the uncommon Pollen’s Vanga and Brown Mesite. Night walks also offer the opportunity to see colorful chameleons and strange leaf-tailed geckos.

What our clients say about us

Adam Walleyn
JM, Madagascar 2018

Excellent tour overall. Adam Walleyn is probably the best overall bird tour guide I have had the pleasure of touring with. He not only knows the birds and wildlife, but is great at handling all types of people and doing whatever he can to make the tour fun, pleasant, and productive. He was always respectful of participants, and made sure their priorities were the focus of the trip rather than his own.

André Bernon
KB, Madagascar - Comprehensive I 2026

The Madagascar tour (Comprehensive and Ranomafana Extension) was everything I'd hoped for, and more, with fabulous birds and many lemurs. We used a very nice hotel with excellent food as a base of operations at the start, finish, and for occasional one-nighters between flights to 4 locations, which was very convenient -- especially for laundry and storing items if flights required lighter luggage. All of our flights were on time (amazing!) and we saw almost all of the birds we attempted -- and more species than I'd expected, based on previous years' reports and in view of recent habitat decline. When our flight back to Tana on our last day was quite early, leaving us with most of the day to spare (and no productive local birding left at that point,) a trip to the historical Queen's Palace was arranged, which was quite interesting! Our local agent Solohary kept everything running smoothly, helped us find birds and shared his love of Madagascar with us with lots of information about the country. Tour Leader Andre Bernon was fantastic, with excellent eyes and ears and a fast laser pointer to help us see the birds, good calls about how to spend the group's time and energy, attention to the needs of all group members, and a friendly, upbeat and enjoyable attitude at all times. Local guides at each location were excellent at finding birds and very helpful (especially on the rain-slick trail at Iaroka.) I have traveled with Rockjumper before (and will do so again) as well as many other birding tour companies, but this is one of the best trips ever!

Adam Walleyn
RR, Madagascar

Adam Walleyn went above and beyond to find just about everything there was to see. His knowledge of herps, mammals and birds is very comprehensive.

Robert Williams
TJ & AJ, Madagascar 2018

Our leader, Rob Williams, was extremely knowledgeable, had a good sense of humour and was keen to see as many species as possible. He helped group members locate more difficult species.

Adam Walleyn
GB & DB, Madagascar 2017

Our guide, Adam Walleyn, was exceptional. His knowledge and enthusiasm is unparalleled.
