Guyana remains a truly off-the-beaten track destination and it is not surprising that much of its flora and fauna is still unspoiled. On this tour we set out to admire Guyana’s colourful world of birds in their natural habitat. We travel through the rainforest and into the Savannah, allowing us to see a great variety of birds living in the the two distinctly different areas of Guyana.


What you will see and do

The tour starts with a flight over the Demerara and Essequibo rivers and hundreds of miles of unbroken tropical rainforest to the Kaieteur Falls. Marvel at the world’s highest free-falling waterfall and take a dip in the natural Jacuzzis of the nearby Orinduik Falls.


We then head off deep into the interior by 4wd to Iwokrama International Centre where we explore the rainforest with a local ranger. Some of the birds we will hope to find at Iwokrama are Blue-cheeked Parrot, Crimson Topaz and Guianan Toucanet.


Explore the rainforest locally, high up in the canopy. Awake to the sounds of the birds around you.


Discover Mori Scrub, characterized by an unusual low, sandy forest and find an interesting range of bird species, among them Rufous-crowned Elaenia, Black Manakin and Red-shouldered Tanager.


Experience the Savannah and its many different bird species that you can watch out in the open country, with plenty of time on your hands.


Travel on foot, by 4x4 and by canoe to get close to wildlife. Stay in luxurious lodges, hammock camps and on the Savannah’s great ranches.


Please explore our many Guyana birdwatching options. We also have a Rainforest & Mighty Rivers adventure or a trip to see the Harpy Eagle and Iwokrama Forest.

You can always contact the office for more information on tailor made and group options.
