Summary

Suriname, tucked away on the north-east coast of South America within the Guiana Shield biodiversity hotspot, is one of the world's most intact tropical wildernesses. With an astonishing 93% forest cover – the highest of any country on Earth – it supports an exceptional diversity of reptiles and amphibians across vast expanses of pristine rainforest, swamp forest and savannah. This specialist herpetology tour focuses on seeking out some of the region's most fascinating species, including South American Bushmaster, coral snakes, Fer-de-lance, Green Anaconda, Hoogmoed's Harlequin Frog, Suriname Toad and a dazzling variety of frogs. An extension to Brownsberg offers a fantastic chance to photograph Emerald Tree Boa, Amazon Palm Viper, Boa Constrictor, Suriname Horned Frog and a superb suite of mammals and birds.

During this exciting tour, we will explore a range of habitats, from the forests of Palulu and Fredberg to the rich wetlands and secondary woodland of Peperpot Nature Park, spending extensive time in the field both by day and night. Alongside the outstanding reptile and amphibian diversity, there will be opportunities to enjoy Suriname's wider wildlife, including primates, colourful birds and other rainforest inhabitants.
