Situated in the heart of South America’s great tropical wilderness areas, Suriname boasts vast, unspoiled forests with a sparse population concentrated along the coast. Formerly Dutch Guiana, the country gained sovereignty from the Netherlands in 1975. Isolated from the Amazon basin and the northern Andes, Suriname has a unique natural and cultural identity. A diverse population reflects various cultures, religions, and Suriname's Dutch heritage, setting it apart from other South American countries. Improving infrastructure provides access to several birding sites, and we’ll visit the core sites of Brownsberg Nature Park, Fredberg and Colakreek.

Suriname is mostly untouched, with more than 90% of the country covered by unspoiled rainforests. We’ll be searching for such key species as Rufous Crab Hawk, Grey-winged Trumpeter, Blood-colored Woodpecker, Arrowhead Piculet, Red-and-black Grosbeak, Marail Guan, Caica Parrot, Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock, Crimson Fruitcrow, Dusky Purpletuft, Guianan Toucanet, Guianan Puffbird and McConnell's Spinetail.

Tour Pace & Walking

MODERATE TO CHALLENGING: This tour requires a good level of fitness, stamina, and overall health. It’s best suited for experienced birders who are comfortable with a more active itinerary. Please note that it may not be ideal for avid photographers, new birders, or those with mobility or health concerns.

Moderate. Suitable for most birding / wildlife interest levels. Has a fair amount of walking in hot & humid conditions (up to 4 miles per day). Some very early morning departures.

Accommodation

Comfortable for the most part. Brownsberg & Fredberg accommodation is simple with shared bathrooms. Hot water is not always available due to high ambient temperatures.

Ease of Birding

Moderate to tricky. Low density, several tricky, skulking species typical of lowland rainforest.

Photographic Opportunities

Worthwhile to good. No feeders or hides.

What our clients say about us

André Bernon
CM, Thailand - Southern Extension II 2025

While the birding was more difficult, the guides knowledge on where to search for some of the key species. Helped the group find a number of very interesting species of birds.

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.

Glen Valentine
MW, Indonesia - Buru Extension II 2025

The Buru extension following the RWPI Cruise was fantastic. I feel sorry for those on the main tour that did not take this extension. The birds were fabulous, Glen was a superb guide, and the scenery great. Glen did a great job trying to get us on all the birds, even the most rare and elusive. Again, flexibility was a key element in the success of the trip. I can't think of anything about the trip that could be done to improve it.

Stephan Lorenz
SR, Bolivia - Remote 2025

Thanks Stephan for a fantastic tour. The stay at the Monastery was especially memorable.

Dušan Brinkhuizen
LG, Dominican Republic - Endemics of Hispaniola I 2026

Excellent tour. Accommodations were as good as could be expected given the isolated areas we needed to reach to see all the endemics. We saw them all. Dusan and the two local guides were exceptional at finding the birds and getting us on them. The vehicle fit our purpose, the luggage trailer was a great idea, and our driver Jose was very professional.
