Donaudelta und Dobrogea – Vogelfotoreise – 7 Tage

As a wildlife photographer and lover of wildlife this tour was a little slice of heaven! Florins incredible knowledge , passion and experience of the Romanian Danube Delta and its wildlife, flora and fauna makes him an exceptional tour leader. I loved staying in the island lodges and being up and out on the boat at sunrise and sunset , camera in hand ,completely immersed in nature. There is something truly magical about experiencing this extraordinary place often described as 'The Amazon of Europe' If the Danube Delta calls you , Call Florin! An unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend .

I had a very special time in the Danube Delta, thanks also to Florin, who was always keen to go out super early for the soft morning lights and who also enjoys photography thoroughly. I was so lucky to see a swimming badger and get beautiful sightings of racoon dogs. I enjoyed the diversity of lights and colors, the frogs, the vastness and feeling of being almost alone in this special place, and of course the birds. Thanks !

We had a wonderful and very varied tour with Florin through the Danube Delta. We especially appreciated how he responded to our wishes, took his time and shared so much of his knowledge about the wildlife and nature of the Delta. We saw many different animals and had plenty of opportunities to take photos, but we also had time to simply enjoy the silence and listen to the sounds of nature and the birds. We were especially impressed by Florin’s knowledge of the Delta and how easily he navigated through this incredible landscape. We enjoyed every part of the tour, felt very comfortable throughout the day and would definitely book another tour with Florin. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

For me, as a bird lover, the Danube Delta is one of my favorite vacation destinations. I have been there twice this year, both times with Florin Stavarache as my guide. Florin knows the lakes and canals very well, has a great ability to spot and identify birds and an ethical approach to them. In addition, and last but not least, he is a fair and trustworthy man. Thank you once again for the tour, Florine!

Florin is really a professional guide. But I must worn you. Once you make a photo tour with him you will want to come again. I went with him 5 times and if you see my pictures maybe you can understand why. But this is just one part. The nature, the food, everything arranged by Florin.

I'm writing this recommendation after sharing an unforgettable experience this past August in the Danube Delta with Florin Stavarache, and I can only describe his work as impeccable. Florin is not only an extraordinary guide, but also a wonderful person and a top-notch professional. From the very first moment, he makes everything easy, comfortable, and seamless, taking care of every detail to ensure your experience is unforgettable. His background as a biologist gives him an in-depth knowledge of his country, its biodiversity, and the secrets of its ecosystem. Furthermore, his skill as a photographer makes all the difference for any visitor: for nature lovers, animal enthusiasts, and birdwatchers, he is simply the perfect guide. He attends to every detail to ensure your stay is perfect and that you feel comfortable at all times. His help in finding the best compositions and dynamics is invaluable; in fact, I even told him in person, "Florin, you practically put the birds on my shoulder!" Florin is a true expert at what he does, a completely trustworthy professional (100% recommended) and a sure bet for anyone wanting to explore Romania without any hassle. We only visited the Danube Delta with him, but I'm certain that any future trip to Romania will be with him. I recommend him without reservation. Here are some of the photos I had the opportunity to take thanks to Florin.

We were lucky enough to visit the Delta this summer. The best part was the time we spent with Florin. Besides the perfect logistics and organization, we explored the Delta with the best guide we could have asked for. He tailored the trip to our needs, allowing us to take all the time we needed for a photo, to see a bird or a flower… with endless patience. It's clear he has extensive experience and knowledge of the Delta and its natural environment, and he knows every corner, the birds, their habits… What's more, he clearly enjoys his work and sharing it with us. We're already thinking about going back!

Florin put together the most incredible bespoke 10-day tour for us and our baby, taking us through the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube Delta. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We had the opportunity to see more than 90 bird species, including the magnificent white-tailed eagle and the red footed falcon. We also visited a hide in the Carpathians to see the European brown bears. Our days in the Danube Delta were particularly magical. We will never forget watching hundreds of white pelicans circling high above us, riding the thermals together in a mesmerising spectacle. Every detail of the trip had clearly been thoughtfully planned. The accommodation Florin chose was clean, comfortable and spacious, which was especially important when travelling with a baby, and the staff everywhere we stayed went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Florin himself is absolutely wonderful: kind, open, relatable and incredibly humble. His knowledge of Romania’s wildlife and natural landscapes is exceptional, but what really stands out is his genuine passion for nature and his enthusiasm for sharing it with others. Travelling with him felt relaxed and personal, and he was brilliant at adapting the trip to make it work for us as a family with a young baby. This was such a special way to experience Romania, and we came away with memories we will treasure for years. When we return, there is no question that we will be asking Florin to show us more of his beautiful country.

Everything was truly excellent! Florin arranged a personalized experience that perfectly matched our needs. We saw all our target birds at our own pace and were able to spend as much time as we wanted at each location, even taking breaks whenever we felt like it. Florin is an incredibly experienced guide. He has been exploring the channels and birdlife of the Danube Delta since childhood, and you can really feel both his passion and his deep connection with this unique place as he guides you with his own boat. Having worked with the BBC and being a talented wildlife photographer himself, he knows exactly how to position the boat to give you the best opportunities for photography, or simply to enjoy the birds from the best possible angle. He also arranged our accommodation and meals, which turned into an authentic traditional experience that we will never forget. On top of that, he speaks flawless English and Italian. We visited in August, but we are already planning to come back in another season to experience different birds, landscapes, and colours. We would not hesitate to book another tour with Florin.

We had a fantastic time with Florin in the Danube Delta! He showed us so much, explained everything with incredible knowledge and enthusiasm, and made sure we experienced an amazing diversity of birdlife. We were able to see an incredible number of different bird species in just a single day, making it an unforgettable experience. If you’re interested in birds, wildlife, or simply exploring the beauty of the Danube Delta, we couldn’t recommend Florin more highly. He is an outstanding guide, passionate, knowledgeable, and great company throughout the tour. A perfect way to experience this unique place. Highly recommended!

I met Florin through his website and booked a tour of the Danube Delta with him. I can say without hesitation that I was extremely satisfied with the experience. Florin is a special person: cheerful, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. His knowledge of the Delta and the many species that inhabit it is truly impressive. Thanks to him, I was fortunate enough to observe the true queen of the Delta, the white-tailed eagle, as well as many other animals, including magnificent pelicans, which I had never had the opportunity to see in person. In addition to the extraordinary fauna, the Delta offers breathtaking landscapes, with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. It was an authentic and unforgettable experience, which I recommend to anyone who loves nature and birdwatching. I will definitely return for a new adventure in the Delta and will take another tour with Florin, who proved to be an exceptional guide in every way. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

I have been a returning birder and bird photographer to the Danube Delta for many years, and this June I probably enjoyed my best photographic tour ever with Florin. Florin is an outstanding guide who knows the Delta inside out. As a biologist, an excellent birder, and an accomplished photographer himself, he has a unique understanding of both the wildlife and the expectations of his clients. He always knows where to go, when to be there, and how to maximize opportunities for observing and photographing birds in the best possible conditions. What impressed me most was his ability to tailor the tour to the interests and needs of the participants, whether they are dedicated birders, wildlife photographers, or simply nature enthusiasts. His knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to detail ensured that every day in the field was both productive and enjoyable. I can wholeheartedly recommend Florin's tours to anyone interested in discovering the incredible birdlife and natural beauty of the Danube Delta. I am confident that you will not be disappointed.

Florin was the most remarkable guide during our stay on the Danube. We wanted a respectful and naturalist approach to the area (we are passionate about ornithology), and Florin more than met our expectations. His knowledge is excellent; the slightest bird song allows him to identify the species we were hoping to see. He is attentive and discreet, yet always answers our questions in detail. Sharing moments on the boat and on land (Letea Forest, Mila 23) were wonderful experiences that we will never forget. If you want a naturalist approach to the Delta, Florin is the one to contact!

This is the second consecutive year that I have been to the Danube Delta and I can't wait to return in 2027. I have rediscovered the delta in a different way, nature gives you the feeling that it reveals other landscapes than you already knew, with sunrises and sunsets that are more and more spectacular, and not to mention its creatures. I could not have discovered and admired all this without a wonderful guide and friend, a good connoisseur of the Danube Delta...a true professional and a great lover of nature. He is Florin Stavarache, I am glad to know him and he is with us on our wonderful escapades in the Danube Delta.

Had a super fantastic time with Florin as our guide. Its clear he is extremely skilled and knowledgeable about birds. As a former Ontario birder and now amateur birder in the Netherlands, I cannot recommend his tours enough for a truly authentic birding experience!

For me, the Danube Delta is the most beautiful adventure of life, especially if you love nature and are passionate about wildlife photography.....and if in this beautiful adventure you are accompanied by a good connoisseur of the place and a great nature lover like Florin Stavarache, everything becomes magical, unforgettable. We will definitely return to this dream place and Florin will definitely be our partner. Thank you

A fantastic boat tour of the Delta with up-close animal encounters and expert guiding. Florin is an extremely knowledgeable environmental scientist specializing in ornithology and well versed in broader Delta ecology. He was excellent in species identification and explanations of animal behaviors. I was impressed with how he was able to approach various species closely without disturbing them. Florin is a wonderful empathetic man, able to listen and respond to questions with knowledge and detail. This tour was truly an unforgettable experience.

Florin is a friendly and attentive guide who listens carefully to the participants on his trips. He's also very skilled in ornithology and was able to find us numerous opportunities to photograph rare birds. A wonderful adventure that we definitely plan to repeat with him.

Impeccable organization. A competent, friendly, and helpful guide. An adventure to remember for a long time...

This photoshoot captured not only beautiful images, but also silence, wonder, and deep respect for nature of the Danube Delta. A truly unforgettable experience that touches the soul. Florin was amazing throughout the experience, guiding us with care and showing us many secret places, representing all of the bird species observed that made the journey even more special.
