Three of us met Brad in Manaus and were treated to a week of stunning birding and beautiful scenery. We took in the Marchantaria islands on the Amazon, the Anavilhanas on the Rio Negro, Guianan Shield Forest at Presidente Figueredo and Terra Firme forest at Novi Airao as part of specially constructed itinerary to match the time we had available. To say it was magnificent would be a huge understatement. We have travelled with Brad before and knew what to expect - seamless organisation, clockwork timing, long days (this is what we wanted!) and above all brilliant birding with a guide who knows pretty much every sound in the forest. The three of us cannot recommend Agami, Brad, and all those he works with highly enough. It was so disappointing to come home. In the eight days that we had we saw 350+ species of birds including pretty much all of our main targets, and were wowed by where we were. In particular the Rio Negro by boat is extraordinarily beautiful at dawn. A word of warning for those thinking that there are birds everywhere in the Amazon and that they fall at your feet. Nope, this is hard birding, especially for anything with "Ant" in the name, and there are dozens upon dozens. Alone you stand no chance, with Brad you have a good chance, but it is still a tough gig and you should be prepared to work hard for your ticks! Superb trip, we are already planning the next one. Also - take wellies.

The trip itinerary was tweaked by Agami Nature Tours at our request, and was focused on finding endemic birds in NE Brazil. Bruno was a fantastic guide, so we saw most of the specials. We ended up seeing well over 400 species in 19 days, which was awesome. Just one negative - one of our group fell and gashed her leg; there was no first aid kit in the minibus. We had to dash back to town for the medical supplies. Other than that, it was a really great trip.

I had an extremely successful trip to the Atlantic Forest. Organization was great, Wagner was an excellent guide, and we saw many many amazing species including a number of particularly rare or difficult to see species. I would highly recommend Agami to run custom tours for anyone seeking to go birding in Brazil.

This brief tour greatly exceeded my expectations! I saw most of the endemic birds on my target list. The guide (Wagner Nogueira) was exceptional.

From the moment we were collected at the airport by Brad, the whole holiday flowed smoothly. The accommodation, food and Brads knowledge of the wildlife were amazing, we enjoyed every second of our trip. We would highly recommend Brad as a guide and hope to make use of his services again to explore another region of Brazil.
