We are committed to ensuring our Guyanese communities and local lodges benefit from doing business with us. Our tours do not require a high level of fitness, but participants should be in good general health as some of the birding will be done on foot and may require walking for several hours at a time (at a slow pace). Accommodation is generally simple but comfortable. There is no air-conditioning at the interior lodges but nights are cool and often breezy: that\u2019s Guyana temperature! Some interior roads are poorly maintained and can be bumpy. The vehicles we use are generally 4\u00d74 and sometimes open-top. This allows us to either sit or stand to get a better view of wildlife.<\/p>\n

While we have several pre-designed tours – some departing on specified dates – please let us know if you require a customized tour plan or schedule. We will do our best to accommodate your specific priorities and needs!<\/em><\/p>\n
