Learn MoreI am new to birding, and Alex got me hooked on this great pastime. His knowledge of Mayan history, botany, local habitats and of course birds is great! A very memorable trip.
I have been with a lot of leaders from many companies and Lev is right up there with the best. I would be glad to go anywhere with him. He is good at identifying the birds and getting us onto the difficult ones. He works well with the local leader and the van drivers. He is good at letting us know what to expect for each day. His time management, moving us on to the next step is great. He does one of the best evening reports of leaders I have been with. He speaks loudly enough, moves through the report at a good pace, doesn't try to add numbers of birds seen. When I had to step away during the report he left me his report so I could catch up which was very thoughtful. He did send us ebird reports during the day as well. As to the Relaxed Tour Format. It was perfect- The relaxed part comes from being able to stay at most hotels several nights. 6 am breakfast is relaxed-We would have seen more birds with earlier starts but that wasn't the point. As it was, I was able to see about 50 life birds which is very good considering I have been birding in that part of Asia quite a bit. Getting back to accommodations with usually a couple of hours before dinner is relaxed. Having only one meal on the trail and all others at the hotel or in a restaurant is relaxed. The vans were seriously relaxed with even wifi on board. The morning hot drink and snacks breaks is relaxed. I hope you can view the photo at the bottom. Some of the other participants had not been on many bird tours and didn't fully understand how relaxed this was in comparison to most tours. Uthai was a delight. He is a bit of a foodie and very carefully chose the dishes for our meals and explained them and wanted to see how we were doing with them. He introduced us to new fruits and foods and eating experiences. I was so honored to be on a tour with such a well known Thai Bird Leader
The tour leader was excellent. He was very easy-going yet we saw almost every bird we could see in Iceland. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
Excellent tour and Bobby is a very good leader. Bobby worked well with the experienced ground agent and local guides to provide a "cohesive" birding experience. Bobby was also confronted with a difficult situation where many of the group experienced food poisoning. From my observations Bobby managed this well to ensure those that missed days due to illness were able to still see any target birds they may have missed. Well done.
Our trip to Madagascar was wonderful! Rockjumper did a great job with tour logistics, lodging, etc. Best of all was our guide! Lev Frid is an amazing birding/nature guide. He is incredibly good at not only hearing, identifying and finding the birds, but Lev is also able to quickly (and patiently) help all the tour participants get on the birds. In addition, he is just a really fun guy to be with. His sense of humor kept us laughing and his wealth of birding stories kept everyone interested and engaged during the trip. It was amazing to see the wildlife of Madagascar and having Lev as a guide made our experience that much better.
Paul brought in his wealth of experience. He worked well with Ashoka to make sure nothing was lost in translation. One member sustained an injury on day 1, probably because he declined the extra help offered on a slightly slippery walk. Paul and Ashoka took charge of the situation immediately, made sure the rest of the group was comfortable while getting help. It was incredible that the injured person managed to complete the trip with a walker. Ashoka is a highly experienced local guide. He went out of the way to accommodate our birding and non-birding (request to try local food) requests. Both Paul and Ashoka were always calm and very pleasant, paying individual attention to every person and ensured we had a memorable experience.
