testimonials
Oliwier was an amazing guide
Oliwier was an amazing guide throughout our 5 day spring tour.
His knowledge of the area was outstanding and certainly knew where to find our targeted Birds and Mammals. We met most of our targets, including all woodpeckers., and Pygmy Owl.Bison right on our doorstep too.
The accommodation was superb, food amazing..didn’t go hungry at all. The Pod owners were so friendly and made us very welcome.
One of our highlights was hearing the Wolves howling very close in the forest.
Oliwier certainly goes that extra mile to make your trip memorable. He works extremely hard.
Oliwier is one of the
Oliwier is one of the best guides I have had the pleasure to travel with. Myself and a couple of good friends decided to spend a few days in NE Poland. The trip was mostly birding but we were also keen to see European Bison. We chose early May as it seemed like the best time to have a chance to see most of our target species, but we were aware that some of the most desirable targets maybe a little difficult so late in spring. We should not have worried, from the very second we got into the forest Oliwier’s amazing knowledge got us onto Tengmalm’s Owl, also a family of Nutcrackers plus a flyover Black Woodpecker… thrown in, all this in the first 15 minutes. After this incredible start it was difficult to imagine how the rest of the trip could compare, but it certainly did. We saw all of my personal targets thanks to Oliwier’s hard work and perseverance, and huge amounts of fun whilst doing so. We also had numerous encounters with Bison which at that time of year was by no means guaranteed, but again thanks to Oliwier’s incredible local knowledge we had some brilliant encounters with this iconic species. In addition to his guiding Oliwier booked us into two amazing guest houses, small and owner run, they were perfect for our needs. The guest house at Bialowieźa Forest Oliwier chose for us was right on the edge of the forest, walk out of the guest house cross the dirt track and there is the forest. The guest house we stayed in at Biebrza Marshes was also perfect, the hospitality and breakfast was everything one could ask for, and it is also birder friendly. I cannot recommend Oliwier highly enough as a guide. If you are considering a trip to NE Poland, Oliwier is the person to make it happen. Read more „Oliwier is one of the”
An absolutely excellent guide who
An absolutely excellent guide who completely knows his “patch” (and what a patch it is!). We were interested in the whole picture, of habitat and ecology and this was something Oliwier was very able to share with us. Oliwier combines a very friendly and flexible attitude with expert knowledge, making time with him a real pleasure. This is quite rare – not all experts can do this, but we think it’s equally vital to have a pleasant atmosphere as well as professional help – finding the best Pielmieni for lunch and Pygmy Owls for “afters”. It was a great balance.… Oliwier is fluent in English (and of course, Polish) and we enjoyed sharing valuable information and funny moments too. He also helped recommend other things for us to do independently. We hope to visit Poland with Oliwier again. Bialowieza is well worth visiting again and again at different times. We were very lucky to see what we saw, but our luck was VERY much helped by Oliwier’s guidance. Thank you. Read more „An absolutely excellent guide who”
