Ismael has been the perfect host and guide for my birding trip in Aswan and Abu Simbel. He knows the right locations and knows his birds. A very pleasant person to be around with and his prices are correct.

I had a two day birdwatching around the Nile islands. The guide Mr Ismael was excellent! He knows a lot about the species and the places to go. For a non-african birder, there will be many lifers.

What an AMAZING morning. Ismael collected us for 4 hours and tailored our experience to see the birds I was particularly interested in seeing. Incredible value, great boat, good knowledge and spotting skills.

This was the highlight of our visit to Aswan! Ismael knew where to find the birds and was very knowledgeable about them. I think you'll find this enjoyable at all levels of bird watching. Highly recommend!

We have done many birding trips around the world and perhaps this was one of the best. Three fantastic hours enjoying the Nile, lots of different species, many of them we had never seen. Thanks a lot, Ismael!
