    Frequently Asked Questions Q What birds can we expect see at the time of year we are visiting? A You can get a good idea of what species we may see by checking out our sightings blog archives, or by emailing your “wish-list” to me at and I will get back to you with an idea of the likelihood of sightings. Q I am not very mobile, will I be ok on one of your safaris? A Yes, you probably will. If you notify me of your medical situation at the time of your enquiry, I will be able to plan an itinerary to match your ability, with less walking and avoiding steep hills etc. Q How long do your safaris last? A My safaris are very flexible – from a Spring/Summer full day (4am-4pm) multi-habitat 12 hour “super-safari”, to a 4 hour “mini-safari”, to a bespoke “exclusive day” viewing just a few special species, often at close range (popular with wildlife photographers/filmmakers). Q How many people do you take out on a safari? A I only take out small parties (minimum 2 – Maximum 6) in order to ensure a quality experience for all my guests, and to minimise any impact on the wildlife/environment. Q Where do we meet you on the day of our safari? A My safaris are based in Aviemore. If you are staying near to Aviemore, I can usually collect you from your accommodation. Otherwise, collection will be from Myrtlefield (free) car park in Aviemore. Q How much will it cost? A The cost is very much dependent on the number of persons & duration of safari. You can check-out approximate likely costs on our prices page – but don’t be afraid to ask for a family/group discount! Q What do we do about food on your safari? A You will need to bring a packed lunch & drink, as we will have an ‘al fresco’ picnic out in the wilds. A hot breakfast will be provided free if you go for an early-start all day safari. Q What about toilets/comfort stops? A We will stop at least every 2 hours for toilets, and I will give you a fair warning if we are going to be away from civilisation for a while. If you have any other questions/requests, please feel free to email, text or phone me – my contact details are at the top of the page. |
