What our clients say about us

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!

Gregory de Klerk
SC - Madagascar

We had been with Greg before on the Ethiopia tour. We selected this tour because Greg was leading it. Not only does he have excellent birding skills, but he also has excellent people skills. He kept the tour running smoothly, handled problems quickly, and was most anxious that every member of the tour got to see the birds if at all possible. We would definitely travel with him again. We got lots of new birds, had lots of laughs, and enjoyed our fellow birders.

VS, Madagascar - Comprehensive I 2026

I'd like to thank Team Andre Bernon/Solohery for introducing me(the group) to Madagascar's precious bird- & wildlife. Their care for the participants and seamless organization was simply flawless. Accomodation has been top notch! A big hug for all involved in creating this super program/itinerary.

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.
