Past Guests
Hear what our satisfied clients have to say about their experiences with us.
I had to go for a business trip to Albania and wanted to combine it with a two days birdwatching tour. I found AOS on the internet searching for guided birding tours in Albania.
Everything met my expectations.

Erald is a phenomenal guide, we felt very comfortable and above all we were able to take very good photos in places we would never have found on our own. In addition to flamingos, cuckoos, hoopoe, etc., we were also able to observe various eagles (migration time), owls and stone owls and take pictures in very good quality. Through the tour with Erald we were able to learn a lot about nature, the existing problems (coastal development, destruction of near-natural habitats, etc.), but also about life in Albania itself.

Fantastic 2 days birding with Kladji & Kato. Wonderful to see Black Headed Bunting & Dalmatian Pelican at Divake, Karavasta along with more usual birds. Kladji was also able to get us onto Roller (a much wanted lifer) & Turtle Dove before returning to Tirana on day 1. Day 2 took us to Natre and Calandra Lark, Golden Oriole and Great Spotted Cuckoo (38 years after my last sighting). An Ice Cream on the way back to Tirana made for a great end to the trip..

The Egyptian Vulture calls for survival!
Let’s all bring a positive change by helping the only breeding vulture in Albania, which is currently fighting for survival. A simple and well-meaning act can help save the small and endangered population of the Egyptian Vulture (Neophron Percnopterus) in Albania, the most loyal vulture species in our country, from which we get the notable epithet “Land of Vultures”.
Click the PayPal link or bank transfer and give your contribution today for the future of the “Land of Vultures”!
No donation is too small, and every donor will be a beacon of hope for this vulture species.
Specifically, the fund will be used to supply the feeding station with safe food for a time period of five months and the installation of a camera for online monitoring of the station.
Every transaction will be documented and reported by AOS for complete transparency; thus, fully conveying how your contribution will help this important project. The amount we aim to raise will go entirely for securing the necessary materials, while the support with staff and experts will be provided by AOS entirely voluntary.
Join us on this noble mission and become a part of the history of conservation for this incredible vulture, which is so important to us and nature!
Wings of Hope!
