Fantastic birding morning in Kigalie Amazing morning birding in Kigali this morning with Claudien in Nyandungu eco-park. He knows the park and birds very well and we were able to see 76 species in this urban park. Including several lifers. Way beyond my expectations. Great place, great guide, great experience

Wonderful birds The Guide is very knowledgable, he knows all the Bird names by heart, knows where to look for them and points out facts and behaviour. Wonderful landscape, too. Take a raincoat during rain season 🙃 Pick up, drop off and Lunch Break worked well, too.

Un voyage inoubliable au Rwanda Nous avons passé 10 jours extraordinaires au Rwanda, parfaitement organisés par Claudien, notre guide exceptionnel. Dès notre arrivée à l’aéroport jusqu’au retour, tout a été impeccablement organisé, avec une grande ponctualité et un réel souci du détail. Les rencontres avec les gorilles et les chimpanzés ont été des expériences absolument exceptionnelles et inoubliables. Le Rwanda est un magnifique pays, très propre, avec des habitants chaleureux, souriants et accueillants. Claudien parle parfaitement français et a su nous expliquer tout au long du séjour la vie, la culture et l’histoire de son pays. Il est également très cultivé, notamment sur la faune, les animaux et les oiseaux, ce qui a rendu chaque journée encore plus enrichissante. Nous recommandons Claudien les yeux fermés à toute personne souhaitant découvrir le Rwanda dans les meilleures conditions possibles. Un immense merci pour ce voyage mémorable ! Nous reviendrons pour découvrir l’Ouganda avec Claudien également ;) Melanie & Thomas

Saw 80 species in 1 day, including Papyrus Gonolek! Claudien proved to be a punctuel and seriously expert birder, equipped with quality binocs and scope and call recordings and deep familiarity with the species of the area. He is flexible and easy company. The urban wetland is perfect for birding: paved pathway cutting through marshes, ponds, and woodlands, litter'free, uncrowded, and secure.

Albertine Rift endemic birds I went to Rwanda on a brief trip to see the endemic birds of the Albertine Rift. I saw nearly all of my target birds in a very short space of time, with the two main targets of Red-collared Mountain Babbler and Rwenzori Apalis seen by 09:00 on the first morning. The accommodation and food were excellent and the people were some of the friendliest I have met. We also had memorable close encounters with gorillas.

Magical day's birding in Kigali surrounds Claudien organised an excellent day of birding for me at very short notice. I appreciated being collected and dropped off at my hotel in Kigali. The morning was spent walking the trails at Nyandungu Eco-Park with guide Sylvere. The birds were active with a total count of 52 species. My highlights were Spot-flanked and Double-toothed Barbets, the latter with a nest. A pair of White-collared Olivebacks represented a lifer for me. We then moved on to Umusambi Village for a few hours with driver Alex. Our luck was in as a group of Grey Crowned Cranes were feeding right next to the viewing platform. Fantastic photographic opportunity! Sylvere's birding knowledge and spotting skills were outstanding and he certainly knows his bird calls. He was very professional and helpful and is highly recommended. I can always count on Claudien to arrange a memorable birding experience. He wasn't available himself on the day but hopefully next time. Thank you!

Fantastic day birding in Rwanda with Claudien. This was an unplanned trip for me whilst at a conference in Kigali. I had an extra day free before heading back home. Claudien made himself available and organized a great day in the wetlands. We also talked a lot about life in Rwanda so it was more than just a birding trip. I highly recommend booking a trip with him.

Fantastic Birding Experience! I cannot recommend Birding and Educational Tours enough! The experience far exceeded my expectations. Claudien’s expertise in identification of local species, and knowledge of where to find them, was invaluable. We managed to see 69 different species including some rare sightings. Booking was easy, the tour started on time, lunch was lovely, and the birding locations were excellent. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe throughout. It was also wonderful to have the opportunity to support a local business. Claudien went above and beyond to ensure I was able to get the most from the experience.

A great day of birding! I had a great time with Claudien, a knowledgeable and academically-trained birdwatcher. I saw about 40 species of birds in a day in large part due to his expertise. I would happily choose other tours with this team.

Excellent birding My wife, Janet, and I went on a 6 day tour of Rwanda, mostly for birding. We had a great time and Claudien was an excellent guide. Overall we saw 163 species of birds in those 6 days including 60 world life bird species for me. Claudien was very good at accomodating our birding needs. We visited a wetlands in Kigali, Nyungwe national park (with local guide Jean-Pierre), and the Gashora marsh, along with a few other places.
