点评:My experience with the Sustainable Birding Company exceeded my expectations on every level. On the eight-day trip, they gave me individual attention, lent me their full scope of knowledge and were willing partners in conversations on any topic. Above all, they delivered their knowledge about my primary mission, finding and identifying birds, with professionalism and a light sense of humor that made for a continuously enjoyable experience day in, day out. I was with driver, Francis and guide, Sammy Muriuki, for seven days from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha with extended stops at Mt. Kenya, Samburu Reserve, Aberdare NP and the Kinangop Platea. In addition, the itinerary of lodges that supported my trip, curated by owner Samuel Ferguson, added significant value to the trip. They were intriguing, varied and comfortable. The company also linked me with their Uganda unit in Entebbe where I spent a delightful day with senior company guide, Stephen, in the Matamba Swamp and Entebbe Botanical Gardens.
Although I chose Sustainable Birding for its commitment to conservation and mission to engage local communities in their operations, I sacrificed nothing by my choice. They were true to their mission, professional in their approach to my needs and open to deepening our relationship while we were together. Best of all, we identified 290 species!
翻译:我在 Sustainable Birding Company 的经历在各个方面都超出了我的预期。在为期八天的旅行中,他们对我给予了个别关注,向我提供了他们的全部知识,并且愿意就任何话题进行对话。最重要的是,他们以专业精神和轻松的幽默感传达了我的主要任务——寻找和识别鸟类——的知识,让我日复一日地享受持续愉快的体验。我与司机 Francis 和向导 Sammy Muriuki 一起从内罗毕到奈瓦沙湖度过了 7 天,并在肯尼亚山、桑布鲁保护区、Aberdare NP 和 Kinangop 高原停留了很长时间。此外,由业主塞缪尔·弗格森 (Samuel Ferguson) 策划的支持我旅行的旅馆行程为这次旅行增添了重要价值。它们引人入胜,变化多端且舒适。该公司还将我与他们在恩德培的乌干达分部联系起来,在那里我与高级公司向导斯蒂芬在马坦巴沼泽和恩德培植物园度过了愉快的一天。
尽管我选择 Sustainable Birding 是因为它对保护的承诺和让当地社区参与其行动的使命,但我的选择并没有牺牲任何东西。他们忠于自己的使命,以专业的方式满足我的需求,并且愿意在我们在一起时加深我们的关系。最重要的是,我们确定了 290 个物种!
