Editoral Review of Rockjumper Birding
Based in Africa, Rockjumper tours offer a variety of birding and wildlife focused tours all around the world.
What Makes Rockjumper Birding Stand Out?
- Guides with extensive wildlife spotting and birding knowledge and skills
- Hundreds of tour options
- Small groups (14 max)
- Customer loyalty program
- Dedication to conservation
Even though they are focused on birding, they offer a lot of variation in the types of tours you can take - including tours that include a wider wildlife focus.
They offer scheduled small group tours, as well as private and custom made tours so you can choose which kind of experience you like. Among these you can find tours that focus almost entirely on tracking one specific species or a tour more geared toward other wildlife and the outdoor experience of hiking and enjoying time on the trails.
Who Will Enjoy Traveling with Rockjumper Birding?
- Wildlife lovers
- Serious birders and entry level interested in gaining more experience
- Active travelers
- Outdoorsy travelers
These trips will be enjoyed by wildlife and nature enthusiasts. Rockjumpers bread and butter is birding tours - and they’re a great company to choose for serious birders as well as hobbyists looking to widen their knowledge and birding skills.
Guides are there to assist with terminology, photography, and can offer tips and tricks for spotting and recognizing species variation. Birding tours include a list of expected sightings and the types of habitats you’ll be traveling through.
Birding is a popular activity among recent retirees and seniors, but all ages are welcome on Rockjumper Birding tours.
Top Destinations
Many birding tour companies tend to be super location focused, however Rockjumper offers tours around the world giving you a lot to choose from when finding your next birding tour.
Rockjumper Birding Travel Style
Rockjumper offers several different physical levels - so you’re sure to find one that suits your preferred style. Accommodations are basic but comfortable, as the main point of the tour is to be outdoors seeking wildlife sightings.
Why Choose a Tour with Rockjumper Birding?
If you are interested in upping your birding game as part of a small group, or on a private excursion with just your friends and family, learning from experts in the field then Rockjumper is a great choice.
Their trips aren’t exactly in the budget range, but you pay for the guide and the ability to visit destinations around the world that showcase the best birding spots and hidden gems.

About the company
Rockjumper Birding Tours is a dedicated bird tours company specializing in quality birdwatching holidays and wildlife safaris throughout the world, guided by passionate and experienced professional tour leaders. Our portfolio of 250 different birding tours encompasses 100 destinations, including some of the most breathtaking and biologically diverse places on our planet. While our quest is first and foremost to deliver the ultimate birding experience, our bird tours are also educational, fun and excellent value for money!
To read about our different tour categories, which include not only birding tours but also photographic and mammal safaris. To go straight to our tour destinations page, conveniently divided into continental regions and countries.
Our bird tour leaders are all passionate birders and accomplished tour coordinators who take great joy in sharing their birding experiences with others. Although many of our tours are guided by full time Rockjumper leaders, we also use some of the most accomplished regional leaders across the globe. This ensures that you always get the best possible guide for the tour of your choice. Whilst we guarantee that our leaders have superb birding skills, our tour leaders also strive to be personable, professional, friendly, attentive and dedicated to delivering a rewarding, educational, enjoyable and memorable birding experience!
Our leader to guest ratio is one of the best in the bird tour industry and most of our tours have a maximum of eight participants, giving our guests a very personalized tour experience. For some destinations, however, larger groups are necessary, and on these tours we provide two leaders with an absolute maximum of 14 participants. The only exception to this is on some ship cruises where larger groups are unavoidable.
Our scheduled tours are generally designed for the keen birder, though the pace varies from tour to tour. For example, our Cape Wildflowers, Birding & Big Game tour is a relaxed birding adventure with much time dedicated to exploring the tapestry of spectacular wildflowers that grace the Cape region of South Africa. We also include the salient highlights of every region we visit, be it the Taj Mahal and Tigers in India, Jaguars and Giant Otters in Brazil, or the Sphinx and Pyramids in Egypt. Our Photographic and Wildlife tours are however focused on these core aspects of each destination, rather than on birding per se.
