YOUR GUYANA JUNGLE TOUR

Day 1: Georgetown to Mahdia  

An early start to probably the most arduous day, departing Georgetown  

at 07.00 hrs by Bus (shared transportation) along the Linden Soesdyke  

Highway and onto the Dirt Road to Mabura Hills before arriving at the  

Essequibo River. Crossing is by barge. Continue to the Mining Township  

of Mahdia, where dreams sometimes become a reality for some of the  

gold and diamond seekers, locally called “Porknockers”. Here, we meet  

our Patamona Guides (one of our nine Amerindian Tribes that lives in  

the Pakaraima Mountains) whom will take you to their family home.  

Overnight in Jungle Camp with hammock & mosquito nets (D)

Day 2: Mahdia to Tukeit via Amatuk & Waratuk  

After breakfast continue by 4*4 vehicle for the 5 miles (7.5 kms) of  

rough terrain onto the Potaro River (Pamela Landing), After loading our  

stuff into the boat we set off along the wining Potaro River, where most  

of its water would have cascaded over Kaieteur Falls, making its way  

into the Mighty Essequibo, arriving at Amatuk Falls, where there is a  

small transient Community. After a short trek around Amatuk Falls,  

continue by boat and trekking (depending on the weather, swollen  

interlocking rivers etc), to Waratuk Falls, the Lower Boundary of Kaieteur  

National Park. Here the boat is portaged above Waratuk and  

boating/trekking continues to Tukeit, the foot of Kaieteur Mountain,  

where the Kaieteur Gorge empties into the Potaro River, and where the  

Queens Rest House was once located. A refreshing dip into the River and  

dinner will send you into bed for a comfortable sleep in the Tukeit Guest  

House, utilizing hammocks or  beds 

Day 3: Tukeit to Kaieteur  

After breakfast, the most challenging part of the trip awaits you- “the Oh  

my God Hike” to Kaieteur Plateau some 1,800 ft (560 meters) above sea  

level. For the most part, is a gradual ascend, and other, a step and  

tedious climb, which can take between 2-4 hours depending on your  

fitness level, before being rewarded with the shear awe of the majestic  

Kaieteur Falls (World’s largest Single Drop Water Falls)- Kaieteur is  

nearly five times the height of Niagara Falls. Here we hope to find  

White-chinned and White-tipped Swifts swirling over the gorge, and the  

astonishingly colorful Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock; the Kaieteur Guest  

House offers either hammocks or limited rooms with beds. (BLD)  

Day 4: Kaieteur-Georgetown  

Experience the early morning and evening flight of the White-chinned  

and White-tipped Swifts leaving their habitat (behind the water fall).  

After lunch, we say goodbye to the Wonder of the World. Usually,  

departure is mid to late afternoons, depending on weather etc; Upon  

arrival at Eugene F. Correia, Ogle Airport.  

Our vehicle will take you to  

your hotel or place of stay in Georgetown.
