Visit the small English speaking country of Guyana on a birdwatching tour, visiting four key destinations. Birdwatching in Guyana is suitable for experienced Neotropical birders and those looking to broaden their knowledge in a pristine wilderness environment. Discover the protected Iwokrama Rainforest with fantastic birding opportunities from the 35 metre high Iwokrama Canopy Walkway and Atta Rainforest for the Crismon Fruitcrow, Black Cruassow and Guianan Cock-of-the-rock.
The Amerindian community of Surama is home to a diverse range of species, with the potential to see the tough to find, Rufous-winged Ground-cuckoo. Karanambu offers a host of different habitats for birding in woodland patches by Land Rover or by boat, discovering the forest birds along the river.
We also offer a pre-tour option visiting the Abray River to the east of Georgetown. Explore the mangroves which are home to Rufous Crab-Hawk, Blood-coloured Woodpecker and Piculet, and sail on the Demerara River to see Scarlet Ibis. Visit spectacular Kaieteur Falls, the longest single drop waterfall in the world. Close to the falls is a small Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock lek.
After Karanambu there is the option to drive across the Rupunini Savannah towards Karasabi. A truly remote area and possibly the only place on earth to spot the critically endangered Sun Parakeet. From the town of Lethem, explore the gallery forest in search of Hoary-throated Spinetail and Rio Branco Antbird.
