Our January 2026 Guyana birding tour was an exceptional exploration of the country’s rich ecosystems, combining rainforest, river, savannah, and coastal habitats. A visit to Kaieteur Falls provided dramatic scenery and excellent views of the Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock. A major highlight was close views of a juvenile Harpy Eagle. Savannah birding added specialty species and mammals, including a Giant Anteater with young. Forest birding produced cotingas, manakins, antbirds and sightings of potoos and owls.

Our Panama Birding Tour delivered an exceptional diversity of Neotropical birdlife across a variety of habitats. Highlights included spectacular views of Blue Cotinga, Purple-throated Fruitcrow, and an active Golden-collared Manakin lek, while the forests produced a superb array of understory species including the highly sought-after Ocellated Antbird and four species of trogons.

Wetland birding added further excitement with sightings of Capped Heron and Cocoi Heron, both near the northern limit of their range. Nocturnal outings were equally rewarding, producing memorable views of Common Potoo, Striped Owl, Black-and-white Owl, and Spectacled Owl.

The tour also yielded excellent mammal encounters including Geoffroy’s tamarin, mantled howler monkey, white-faced capuchin, Panamanian night monkey, white-nosed coati, and Central American agouti. By the end of the tour we had recorded 270 species of birds and many unforgettable wildlife experiences.

On our 17-day Uganda birding and wildlife tour, we explored an extraordinary range of habitats, from papyrus swamps and the Nile’s riverbanks to open savannas and the montane forests of the Albertine Rift. We enjoyed unforgettable highlights including Shoebill at Mabamba, rhinos at Ziwa, boat cruises in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks, and superb birding in Budongo, Kibale, and Semliki. We trekked to spend time with both Eastern Chimpanzees and Mountain Gorillas in Kibale and Bwindi—truly profound wildlife encounters. Along the way we recorded 514 bird species, the Big Five, and more than a dozen additional primate species. It was one of the most comprehensive and rewarding wildlife journeys in tropical Africa.
