Guyana Nature & Wildlife Tours

For over 20 years, Guyana nature and wildlife tours are offered by Wilderness Explorers, Guyana only Destination Management Company, has been working at the crossroads of adventure travel and community tourism. Not from the sidelines or behind a desk, but on the ground, in the jungle and on the boats. Getting their feet dirty and seeing everything first-hand. Tourism isn’t just our business – it’s our life and handcrafted itineraries prove it.

Over the years the partnerships we have developed in the field aren’t just suppliers in the traditional sense: they are deeply involved with the development of the lodges, tours, guides, training programs, and attractions that draw adventurous souls to this part of the world.

Back in 1999 Wilderness Explorers was one of the first Guyana tour company to embrace the now-fashionable idea of community tourism, partnering with the Amerindian Makushi village of Surama in Guyana to provide marketing and administrative support for that country’s first indigenously-operated eco lodge.

Today, we continue to work with lodges and regional consortiums with tourism development aspirations. Hand-in-hand building opportunities for economic growth that don’t rely on resource extraction or the mass-market.

We know that tour companies are increasingly looked upon as unnecessary middlemen in a world where the internet connects everyone with marvellous ease. And, no doubt, someone with ample time and patience could organise their journey independently. But we know that sometimes you want to spend less time researching and more time travelling.

If that’s you, then Wilderness Explorers Guyana can greatly simplify your nature tours planning in Guyana, get you into the best (and often least-known) lodges, prioritise your activity list, and set you up for an unforgettable getaway.

Our Guides

Waldyke Prince (Wally) – Conservation Biologist & Specialist Bird Guide
There are few guides in Guyana who can claim the degree of experience and expertise held by Wally. He is one of the most sought-after guides for wildlife seekers, professional birders, documentary teams, and scientific expeditions visiting Guyana. Wally worked for seven years as the guide coordinator, resident wildlife biologist and chief trainer at Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development. An avid birder, Wally has visually identified more than 750 of the 900+ bird species recorded in Guyana and is intimately familiar with their habitats, behaviours, vocalizations, and mating rituals.

At 24 years old Delon is one of the new and upcoming birding and wildlife guides in Guyana. He is Makushi one of the nine tribes of Indigenous peoples and is a community of Annai. Delon and his brother Niron are second-generation bird guides stationed at the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway following in the footsteps of their father Cassius Williams who also worked at the Canopy Walkway as a guide.
