Madagascar, September 2007:

" The itinerary turned out to be absolutely perfect. Optimum times were spent at each site to secure all the target birds, and with a little luck on our side we saw every single resident endemic that was theoretically possible. ... Also an amazing 27 lemur species, plus Fanaloka, Ring-tailed Mongoose and Humpback Whales. ... guides were all top class.... transport very good and accommodation excellent."

Namibia, September 2007:

" I pass on our thanks to you, for what was an excellent trip and one that I will want to remember for many years." "Great trip & accommodation everywhere was excellent."
Louise James and Mike P.

Western Cape, September 2007:

" Wow, I think that about sums it up!! No seriously, thank you so much, because of your self and Birding Africa we had a fantastic trip. The accomodation was superb, the food excellent. The pelagic, as you probably know, was awesome. The Birding was excellent, over 220 species on our trip, the hospitality we received at the accomodation was 1st class. I would have no reservations in recommending or using Birding Africa as ground agents in the future. This really was a truly enjoyable birding experience!!"
Andrew L.

Cape, April 2005:

" ...thank you for all your efforts in arranging for Michael Mills to show us round the Cape on 24th March. Not only were the birds good (over 100 species and much more than the 75 promised) but the scenery of the Cape and beauty of Kirstenbosch made a wonderful introduction to the start of our holiday."
Janet and John M.

South Africa, July 2004:

" It was great to visit your lovely country and to bird with you both on your home turf. You folks certainly run a first-class operation, and I am confident that it will grow and prosper, if my brief experience is any indication of the quality of service you routinely provide. I would not hesitate to recommend Birding Africa to anyone!"
" David, you are truly among the most capable and amiable guides I have had the pleasure of knowing. You made the time we spent together a delight. Not only are you a superb birder and guide, but, perhaps more important in your business, you possess the 'people skills' necessary to ensure a smooth and pleasant experience for the client. Your professional abilities, coupled with your relaxed and easy-going nature, struck the right chord with me, and I believe we got along quite well together."
" When I tried to turn some distant, inanimate object into a feathered creature, you gently suggested it might be otherwise. On the rare occasion when you made a mistake, you quickly admitted it and corrected the identification -- a sure sign of confidence in your abilities and no need to try to be 'right' all the time. The company is fortunate to have you on its staff, and I wish you well with your future plans."
