I recently spent 9 days with Kalu, birding across Ghana from Cape Coast to Mole National Park. He proved to be an excellent guide, and his knowledge of the region's birds was impeccable. He knew exactly where to go to find the typical target birds of birders in Ghana, and could identify everything from the slightest sound. Each day's itinerary was set out in advance and so it was clear exactly how each day would be spent, and we often took breaks in the afternoon to rest up before going out again later in the day. We had some car trouble a couple of times, but he would adapt the original agenda to maximise our birding time. His drivers were excellent, and always drove with our safety always in mind. In addition to his excellent guiding, he was very personable and I learned a lot from our conversations.
