    Ghana November December 2023

    It's a fair point Mike, and maybe I'll end up doing a combination of the two - buses for accessible and easier sites, rental vehicle for the remainder of the trip. I do like the freedom and flexibility though of having my own vehicle, in countries where that is possible (and I've got on fine in...

    Ghana November December 2023

    Hi cdor, I'd also be interested in hearing the details! I've looked at birding Ghana independently before, but the exorbitant cost of vehicle hire made me go elsewhere on that occasion. Thanks!

    Cameroon Next Month (March 2020)!

    Thanks for this input Xenospiza! And same to WP above, who I've PM'ed. Poor Cameroon... From what I've read, I'm half-expecting Bamenda to be off limits, but hoping we'll be lucky with Mt Kupe being in a 'border-line' zone. I've asked Benji what the current score is regarding access...

    Cameroon April 2018

    Just a cheeky 'bump' for anyone who was following this thread when it was live, and might still be interested in a trip to Cameroon... See new thread - I'm planning a similar trip for March 2020.

    Cameroon Next Month (March 2020)!

    Hi All, A bit 'last minute' but I suddenly have extra holiday time to fill... I'm planning to go to Cameroon for the first two weeks of March, with 15/03 being my cut-off date for leaving the country. Jose Ramon found a few companions on BF when he went to Cameroon a couple of years ago (see...

    Central Mozambique & African Pitta

    Hi All, First off please note that this thread has morphed from 'Central Mozambique' to 'Zimbabwe'. The target species however remains the same... I want to give this thread a 'bump' as I made the pilgrimage to Masoka just last month, and would like to report back on all the positives which...

    Kirtland’s Warbler?

    Better off posting this in an i.d. forum B4bratti - several thousand UK birders will be having heart attacks when they see your headline in a few hours' time!

    Georgia/Armenia 25.4-7.5.2019

    Excellent report Jan! This region is not high on my list of places to visit, and yet I read every word of your report and thoroughly enjoyed doing so. Your encounter with that lynx is especially gripping; I might have to re-evaluate my priorities and head that way some time soon!

    Southeast China Dec/Jan 2018/19

    Same from me Andrew, for what little it's worth: 4 days at Jianfengling, didn't even hear the peacock pheasant. But it's a great spot, would love to return one day.....

    Sierra Leone in November for African Pitta etc

    Hi Andy, I'm currently working my way through Laos and Cambodia, then back into Vietnam shortly, but happy to pen a few details about my SL trip when I get a mo! Probably as soon as I get fogged off and hotel-bound at Dalat... Tim

    Sierra Leone in November for African Pitta etc

    Yes it went ahead Richard! But it was *not* a great success bird-wise, as we were extremely unlucky with the weather. The wet season just kept on going, despite my trip being timed to be c. 6 weeks into the dry season. I'm tempted to try again some time! Will PM re costs.

    Sierra Leone in November for African Pitta etc

    Hi All, I'm going to Sierra Leone in November (this year!), dates approx. 10th-20th, and wondering if anyone else is interested in joining? I've already made a partial booking with Kenneth Gbengba, one of the few local guides in the region, and we've agreed on an itinerary (bog-standard -...

    Lesser Florican Trip 19-21 July

    Hi All, Apologies for posting such a last-minute trip! I've just set up a 3-day excursion, Delhi-Delhi, targetting Lesser Florican, which is a 6-hr drive away. I'm using Avian Adventures for logistics, and the cost Delhi-Delhi would be £230 all-in except meals (driver, car, fuel, guide, guide...

    South American Birding cruise

    I just took a quick look, and the basic price is $1,199 ($1,999 for an upgraded room). Very sorely tempted indeed!!

    Ghana in March 2014

    Hi All, It's a bit 'last minute' but I'm considering doing a standard (private) tour of Ghana next month, but only if I can find a few others who'd like to come along! Ashanti African Tours seem to be one of the best operators in Ghana. They offer a 16-day tour, with the cost hopefully being...
