TESTIMONIALS
For me it was always
For me it was always going to be about the birds, and with 35 lifers, that was arguably the best part. However, there were so many highlights to choose from that it’s difficult to pick out a few: the beaver boat trip, getting close to moose and storks, the sounds and stillness of the forest

For me it was always going to be about the birds, and with 35 lifers, that was arguably the best part. However, there were so many highlights to choose from that it’s difficult to pick out a few: the beaver boat trip, getting close to moose and storks, the sounds and stillness of the forest and marshes, not to mention the wonderful food and company. Oliwier is an excellent guide – he knew where to find all the target species and made sure that everyone had a chance to view them. He is so knowledgeable about the area and wildlife within it – I learnt such a lot from him. I was a little worried about joining the tour on my own, but I needn’t have been anxious: Oliwier helped create a friendly atmosphere among the team members, so no one felt left out. This really was the trip of a lifetime, and I would 100% recommend Oliwier and this beautiful area of Poland.

Fantastic experience with Oliwier.
A dear friend who had partecipated to the same tour in 2024 had strongly recommended us to choose Oliwier Myka as local guide.
Well, the recent birdwatching and photo tour in north-east Poland from 7th to 13th May 2025, has been a great success thanks to the organization and skills of this guy, who despite his young age is an expert in the biodiversity of his land. He was exceptional in recognizing the calls and songs of birds, always immediate in finding them in the vegetation and looking for the best conditions to obtain the best pictures possible.
Oliwier always listened to our needs and desires, making sure to find ALL our lifers and giving us the opportunity to observe them in optimal conditions. The choice of the van too, that can be opened on both sides with sliding doors to facilitate getting in/out to take fast photos of species seen along the road, was spot on and very much appreciated.
Oliwier has always been right and punctual, costantly in contact with the other guides for real-time reportings to allow us to see as many species as possible ….. and our dreams came true.
One of the best guides we have ever had on a wildlife tour.
Thanks again Oliwier and see you next time!

Had an amazing week in
Had an amazing week in Bialowieza forest and Biebrza marsh. Oliwier is a fantastic guide with incredible field skills and knowledge of the areas we visited. He’s also great company and our group of 6 had a great time seeing 151 bird species plus several mammals including Bison, Elk and Beavers with lots of laughs

One of many highlights of the trip was seeing 2 Black Woodpecker fly in and land close by followed 5 mins later by a Nutcracker!I would definitely book another trip with Oliwier and if like me you need those East European bird species on your list then Oliwier is your man!
