    I am looking for a few people to join me on an 18 day Safari with a Ugandan tour company this winter - most likely January. The Safari would include a Mountain Gorilla and a Chimpanzee component, and all the African safari large mammal standards, but our guide will have a good knowledge of...

    Colombia Birding Advice

    Just pitching in some feedback from my own research - apparently Tayrona is pretty dead for much bird life, asside from the Blue billed currasow. Don't spend alot of time there. You're better off going to Camarones - I've hired Jose Luis Pushaina - who speaks English - for a day there and will...

I start January 8 with a tour in Bogota, then fly to Pereira to visit several lodges in the Andes until January 22, when I fly to the north coast to bird along the coast and Inland on the road to and past...

    Colombia Birding Advice

    Hi Zam - I'm planning my own trip for January - a full 4 weeks. If you can get in at Cerro Montezuma, do, as it seems Tatama has a great variety of species and their guided tours focus on different elevations each day. It may seem pricy there, but consider that the fee includes all meals. I'd...

    Birding in Colombia January/February 2024

    I've just seen that there is a Cueva de los Guacharos near Jardin - a long difficult hike, but also without a hotspot on ebird. Do you know about this and whether the hike there will net an oilbird sighting or two? thanks! Cheers Chrisitne

    Birding in Colombia January/February 2024

    Ooh this is a really nice tip! I will keep this information for future reference. As it is, because the park is closed to the public the entire time could have been in the area, I went ahead and booked to go to the north coast immediately on leaving Jardin. If i get through my Jardin birding...

    Birding in Colombia January/February 2024

    Hi Richard, well I'm back to travelling solo (I have one or two more acquaintances I'm going to invite), and would be happy to have someone to bird with for part, or all of the trip if it's working out well. When do you plan to be there? I've pretty well finished my bookings for the interior -...

    Birding in Colombia January/February 2024

    Thank-you Fern! There is just so much to see - the Llanos tour is actually off which is good as I'm struggling to fit everything else in! I did allocate a week to the coast - I hope it's enough! I had assumed I should stay as close to El Dorado as possible, but from what you're saying, it...

    Discount tour: SE Costa Rica March

    Just wanted to update on this, years later, that this was the best thing I've done in my life! Our group of me and 3 couples, recruited through birding/naturalist clubs from across Canada, did a 2 week tour which ended barely before all hell broke loose with Coviid. We all made it back home...
