My wife Julia and I went to The Gambia with our friends Mike Bird and Colleen Welfare at the beginning of February 2023. It was a ‘tailor made’ trip organised by Naturetrek and we had an excellent local birding guide called Dembo Sonko.
I went with friend Mike Bird on a mammal focused trip organised by Martin Royle of Royle Safaris in July 2022. The main aim was to see Western Lowland Gorillas and Mandrills
To celebrate my retirement and hitting the grand old age of sixty in 2007 we went on a Naturetrek trip to Madagascar, a country that had always been on my bucket list.
In 2012 we decided to spend Christmas in the tropics and went on a Naturetrek trip to the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, staying at Kafunta River Lodge.
We used a local company, Ashanti African Tours, for a trip to Ghana which had a strong emphasis on butterflies but also took in the birds and other wildlife including the must-see Yellow-headed Picathartes.
A private trip with Kalema Livingstone of “Livingstone African Safaris” in February/March 2018.
