ReplyDeleteThank you for good sevice
Julian has an excellent knowledge in birdwatching and knows where and how to find the birds in the Tangkoko forest but also in other places in Sulawesi or West Papua. He has also knowledge about the the mammals and other animals. The days begin early morning to see the birds and there is also afternoon/evening sessions. The room was very simple but clean woth air con/wifi and the food was different and healthy at each lunch. He arranged the transfer to come and to the next destination or to the airport. I spent 2 full days and three nights plus a morning session and saw lot of endemic birds including different species of kingfishers,parrots and pigeons. It is worth to come there!
