TESTIMONIALS
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… along the way. 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!

If your birding destination is
If your birding destination is NE Poland and you need to get your target birds then contact Oliwier. He certainly knows where to find them! I was amazed at his knowledge of the area and it took him no time at all to find the species I needed. He was even able to produce a… couple of wolves on one evening excursion. Good company, good accomodation, good food and of course excellent birding are all part of the experience. Fully recommended. Read more „If your birding destination is”
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”
