This is an excellent tour for anyone even vaguely interested in birds. Alfie is a great guide, nice guy and he really knows his stuff. You don't have to be a hardcore birdwatcher to enjoy the variety of birds (and a few other animals) that you'll encounter on this trip. I was unlucky with the weather (heavy rain) on my day but the tour was still fantastic. If you too are unlucky with the weather, don' worry, you'll still see a whole lot of birds.

My mom and I had a wonderful bird watching tour with Alfie! I was able to add over 50 species to my life list even though I’ve been to Cape Town before. This day will be a highlight of this trip. Alfie is one of the most knowledgeable bird guides I’ve ever met. He’s been birding since he was a child and knows so very much about all the birds of South Africa but his knowledge doesn’t stop here-he knows much about birds all over the world. He also has vast knowledge of the Kruger and many other parts of the glorious country I WOULD DEFINITELY recommend his birding tour or other tours with him. Thank you Alfie!

Alfie is a very good guide and driver. He took all the time to show me the gorgeous birds in Kirstenbosch garden and Strandfontein.

Alfie Curling is incredibly knowledgable about all things South Africa. His background of growing up in Kruger and his current location in Capetown add to his vast knowledge of S.A. Birds, mammals, and culture. I spent the last 11 days on tour with Alfie as our guide and it was completely enjoyable. He is one of the friendliest people I know, and also keeps it professional at the same time. I highly recommend all things Alfie Curling!

It was a great tour, we enjoyed our first birding tour! Alfie knows all the birds and is the best guide! We saw 63 different birds in 8h. Most of them had beautiful colour, were endemic to the western cape, rapors, or were had something else interesting. We definitely got now the birding fewer and also try some back home.
