Testimonials

“Got the report today - can't put it down! Well done Bozena, it is brilliant and must have taken a lot of work to get it. So well laid out, great pictures and the very extensive species lists of everything we found. Thanks to Gordon also! It will help to bring back memories of the wonderful experiences we had at those special places - and of course the company on the trip. ”

Brian Cosnette (Madagascar, 2012)

“Thank you for arranging a wonderful holiday.”

Gordon Simpson (Madagascar, 2012)

“It was a great trip, and the organisation was very good. I will always remember the eagles, brick kilns, indri’s calling, pygmy kingfisher, flufftail, spiny forest etc, etc, etc. Yes, it was a great experience.”

Graham Rebecca (Madagascar, 2012)

“The trip to Hungary was superb, the birding, the company and the accommodation were all first class - you have a knack of pitching everything just right and of keeping everybody happy in a relaxed and informal way - brilliant. ”

Bill Burlton (Hungary, 2012)

“What a wonderful holiday in Estonia: good weather, good company, good food and amazing birds! The migrating geese were a highlight for me, especially the two red-breasted geese amongst a large flock of barnacles. I also enjoyed the good views of beaver and elk. As usual, accommodation was first class and the group all got on well together. Thank you for organising such a memorable trip."”

Margaret Atherden (Estonia, 2012)

“Just a short message to say thank you for a fantastic time in Namibia. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. You put so much thought into finding lovely accommodation and things to do, it is very much appreciated. It is obvious that you do put a great deal of effort into the planning, etc. and things run very smoothly. ”

Suzanne Darroch (Namibia, 2011)

“Thank you very much indeed for another wonderful holiday! I really enjoyed it and learned so much about the wildlife, landscape, wine and fast driving.”

Margaret Atherden  (Hungary, 2011)

“The Bialowieza forest is a magic place to be in and we were very fortunate in our guide Bozena who is a great naturalist and now well on the way to becoming a fungi enthusiast – the sort of organizer who arranges transport, guides and chocolate covered plums at exactly the right moment but never seems hassled. Abiding memories are – first sight of the forest floor, howling wolves, bison and cycling through ancient woodland with old and new friends. ”

Val Standen (Northeast Poland, 2010)

“Can I say again that we had a terrific time and cannot begin to thank you for all your efforts...though when we think of how to, you will be the first to know! In the meantime, the memories will suffice. ”

Tom Kirby (Poland, 2010)

“I just want to say how much I enjoyed the Bialowieza Forest trip. I am interested, as an amateur, in British ancient woodland so I found the real primeval forest absolutely stunning. Thank you for such a marvellous experience.”

Dr Tusi Butterfield (Poland, 2010)

“Thanks for a fantastic trip to Finland!”

Tim Mason (Finland, 2010)

“Thank you for an excellent trip to Finland, which I thoroughly enjoyed despite mosquitoes and cold viruses! It really was a wonderful trip and I shall remember those peat bogs for many years to come.”

Margaret Atherden (Finland, 2010)

“Bozena, thank you for a trip which surpassed my wildest expectations. You must have gathered that I was a bit apprehensive re my ability to keep up with a load of possibly relatively juvenile bird watchers. But even if I'd struggled there wouldn't have been a problem- they were all just too nice. The Orkneys I love, the archeology is sensational and having left North Yorkshire and the cliffs some time ago I'd forgotten how fabulous cliff scenery and its birds are. We are not short in East Anglia but they swim rather than fly. I need hardly mention the organiser and the organisation- superb. Thank you.”

Val Bray (Orkney, 2009)

“Thank you so much for the trip - we really enjoyed it despite the weather! It is a beautiful country. We hope to travel with you again so please keep us on your mailing list.”

Margaret and Niall Cartlidge (North east Poland, 2009)

“Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful trip to Poland. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found the birds, flowers and landscape fascinating. I now have hundreds of photos to sort through and label! I'll send you copies of any particularly good ones with people in due course.”

Margaret Atherden (North east Poland, 2009)

“Many thanks for the report, its great, and the photos are wonderful. The report certainly brings back the memories. We'll put the new birds into our African bird list, we had done some of that but not quite complete. Many thanks for a great trip.”

Richard and Margaret Bentley (South Africa, 2009)

“We just wanted to say thank you again for a great week in Poland - our abiding memories won't be of the weather, but of the places we visited and the things we saw. Thank you for all you did to make it as good as it could be - you were great!”

Don and Mary Griss  (Southern Poland, 2009)

“This birding holiday was one of the best I have experienced. Probably this was due to the group joking and enjoying themselves right from the start. The sunny weather, the hotel, the log cabin, the guide and Bozena’s planning and fostering all made the trip enjoyable and it run smoothly.”

Gordon Simpson (Finland, 2008)

“Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful trip to Namibia. We really enjoyed it. ”

Brian and Annie Cosnette (Namibia, 2008)

“Thank you Bozena for a wonderful and enjoyable trip. Nobody knew what to expect as you lay on such a surprising variety of events. As one member commented a few years ago: 'You look after us like a mother hen.'”

Gordon Simpson (Finland, 2008)

“Thank you so much for the trip - we really enjoyed it despite the weather! It is a beautiful country. We hope to travel with you again so please keep us on your mailing list.”

Margaret and Niall Cartlidge (Poland, 2008)

“Bozena, thank you so much looking after us so well in Poland. I had a fabulous holiday, with so much laughter and fun. I did enjoy the group, everyone was so easy to get on with. I have so enjoyed Poland and its people, and I shall remember the things I have seen and the beautiful countryside for ever.”

Jean Brigstock (Southern Poland, 2006)

“Thank you so much for organising such a superb holiday, we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”

Dorothy and Michael Burn (Southern Poland, 2006)

“This has been such a super holiday and trip that it will remain as one of the best with memories of first class food, stunning and varied scenery, friendly faces, a wonderful camaraderie in the group from Bozena...”

Bob Doughty (South Africa, 2004)

“Thank you for something that I thought was the best holiday of my life”

Maryan Duckworth (Northeast Poland, 2003)

“The group wishes to express its very grateful thanks to Bozena for her exceptional organising skills, unfailing good humour in the face of all manner of provocation from the group and producing an itinerary of outstanding interest ornithologically, in natural history and culture.”

Bob Doughty (Northeast Poland, 2003)
