I arrange and organize bird watching trips all over the country. Interested persons can always contact me directly by email on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call me on my mobile 00220 9948425 for more information. My trips are very special. I normally go for half day trips which start at 7.30am or 8.00am and finish in the middle of the the day. I do have the policy of taking only very few people with a maximum of eight persons, and I do make sure that my customers are fully satisfied.

There is an animal orphanage with the size of 105hectares and it has a photo hide for photographers. There is a chance to see many very beautiful birds, plusalso some animals like crocodiles, antelopes, dikdiks, red colobous monkeys, green velvet monkey, mongoose, etc.

Brufut woods

This is a well wooded area on the coast 30 minutes away from the hotels around the coast. It has some very beautiful birds. It also has a good photo hide for photographers. Brufut is a beautiful unspoilt area which is actively conserved. There is a also a chance of seeing owls, nightjar in the morning depending on how lucky you are.
