Our Sri Lanka birding and wildlife tour takes us to without doubt one of the world's most pleasurable birdwatching and game viewing destinations.

These attractions, coupled with a fascinating history and vibrant culture, make this a truly exotic destination and a pleasure to explore.

The birding tour in Sri Lanka was exceptional, coming after a wonderful tour in Western Ghats in India. The tour participants in Sri Lanka, and the people of Sri Lanka, the beauty of the country, and the people's concern for the land and its wildlife were all highlights of the trip. Paul Joseph continued his superb tour-leading from India to Sri Lanka. His bird finding, identification skills and handling of the many facets of tour leader, such as working well with local guides and others who assist with the tour, such as drivers, other local birders, etc. and doing these alongside his caring and pleasant personality. The Sri Lankan guides and all others who assisted were a real joy. I felt lucky to have participated with all the other tour participants on the India and Sri Lanka tours. A heartfelt thanks all. Lastly, the the staff, the whole team at Rockjumper, were exemplary, as they always are. Thanks for all the assistance you provided to me.
I am so glad that this tour was able to run amidst another Covid wave. The tour exceeded my expectations. Glen is an outstanding guide with a superb ability to find birds and show them to the participants. He is enthusiastic and personable, and we look forward to traveling with him again. The local guide was determined to find all the elusive owls possible. His perseverance is greatly appreciated. I also want to acknowledge the first-rate tour bus and crew that drove us safely over the winding roads of Sri Lanka. Finally, we very much enjoyed the food and the nice beer (thanks to Glen!).
"Both Peter K and local leader were great. Our local leader went so out of his way to find and stake out owls, he'd start roaming the forest at 2 and have reports for us at dawn when we would meet in field. We had all 9 available owls due to his work. He also knew each area so well we found all endemics as he had such intimate knowledge of location and back up sites for each key species. Amazing, he sure pulled some birds out of almost thin air. Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Sri Lanka Bay and Serendip Owls, etc. Also amazing with his knowledge of calls - my guess is Rockjumper has the country's best local guide - keep him happy! The bus was great, more room than we needed but that sure beats the alternative - made the long drives so comfy. Also had WIFI which added a real time killer to travel."
Loved Clayton, his bird skills and all-over knowledge of everything.
Stephan Lorenz did a great job of bird-finding and then managing to get everyone a chance to see the birds. Stephan provided lots of helpful tips about what to look and listen for and the general natural history of birds, kept us well-informed of the daily plans, and is personable and fun to be with. I'd love to be on another of his tours.
