Another excellent tour both within
Another excellent tour both within and outside the forest with Oliwier. Inside the forest the highlight for us was the Nutcracker, which we have missed in so many other places, but we also had Pygmy Owls (mating!), a Tengmalm’s Owl calling during the day (which they never do) and great views of all of the woodpeckers (except Green). The Cranes calling at night in the dark forest was spooky and amazing. Outside the forest we had flocks of Bean Geese and White-fronted Geese with a few Red-breasted Geese. We also had a Rough-legged Buzzard. The food and accommodation were excellent. Oliver is a thoughtful and hard-working guide with a real passion for the forest. The forest is incredible. We’ve been in both March and June and both tours were outstanding.
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”
I have been to NE
I have been to NE Poland a number of times and on every trip, Oliwier has been our guide- he never fails to disappoint! He is absolutely fantastic and is extremely knowledgable about Polish wildlife. If you have a target bird which, for me in March, was the Pygmy Owl, Oliwier is the guy to go with! As well as being a birding guru, Oliwier is easy going, accommodating and overall a top bloke which certainly made my trip extremely fun and enjoyable.
