What our clients said ...
I had a great morning out and about with Itela and Mongi, they certainly know some good spots for birds and I saw species I’d never have found by myself. Greater Painted Snipe was a bonus at the sewage pools and Rock Pratincole was hard to spot on the river but Itela knew just where to look. An excellent trip. Top Turaco tips too!

Itela, owner of this company is a brilliant guide. We went on a boat trip on tbe Zambezi a short distance upstream from tbe Falls and then had a short walking safari nearer tbe town. Itela’s knowledge of birds is huge. We saw a huge range of birds as well as elephants, hippos, Wart Hog, Impala

I had a great mornings birding with Itela around Victoria Falls. Itela was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. We saw some great birds which were new to me, Schalows Turaco, Purple and Village Indigobirds, Long-tailed Paradise Whydah and Cut-throat Finch just to name a few. We bumped into some elephants too! Highly recommended.

I have been on walking safaris and days out bird watching with Itela over the last 6-8 years. I recommend him to people I talk to whenever I can. His knowledge of the wildlife, big and small is great. His knowledge, enthusiasm and eyesight makes birdwatching fun and informative. Not only does he spot them, but encourages you to try and identify them and impart so much knowledge onto his guests. I visit to Victoria Falls would be incomplete without at least half a day with Itela.

Mr. Sakanji is extremely passionate and knowledgable about birds and wildlife. He is very responsive by email and accomodating to any requests so you can have the best trip possible. Would highly recommend checking out his services if you like birdwatching or plan to do any safaris!

I had the good fortune of being guided by Itela for a day in January. We visited sites around Vic Falls and Zambezi NP and I was lucky to add a few photographed species to my collection. He was very perceptive and knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed our day. Thanks Itela.
