Guyana Birdwatching:
The Rupununi Savannah and its Ranches

This small country on the northeast shoulder of South America is seldom visited by birdwatchers yet it offers all the avian richness of the lowland forests of adjacent Venezuela and a tourist infrastructure that makes it accessible in far greater comfort. Indeed, tourism in the country is experiencing a rapid development and some new lodges near the coast provide luxury accommodation in pristine forest settings. In the south, several ranches offer comfortable quarters close to varied and interesting savannah habitats, and also serve as points of departure for camping expeditions to truly remote areas of the interior.

This tour focuses particularly on Iwokrama Forest and the Rupununi Savannah. It includes visits to four remote ranches, and while accommodations are not luxurious the trip doesn't involve any special hardships, and the birdwatching is extremely rich.
