Forest of Dean Evening Wildlife Safari

Me and my boyfriend had the BEST time on our walking safari! It's such a beautiful part of the forest and we were able to see lots of beautiful wildlife – including a wild boar! Ed is an excellent host – so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and considerate. Thanks so much Ed!

Ed was an excellent host looked after myself and my friend who were the older members of the group.Very knowledgeable. Would recommend

It was a very informative and enjoyable tour. Ed is an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly guide. Our group was lucky to see a few wild boar and deer, plus we had a very comprehensive introduction to the bird population of the Forest of Dean. Fantastic experience!

Ed is tremendously knowledgeable about the animals, birds and flora in the Forest of Dean and very happy to share that knowledge and answer any questions. We had a great time and really enjoyed seeing a wide range of things with a very engaging host. The highlights for us were the wild boar and mandarin ducks.

Ed was a very knowledgeable host who shared his enthusiasm for nature with our group. I had a lovely evening spotting a variety of wildlife and would highly recommend to anyone, nature lover or not!

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable host, great environment, we enjoyed it very much (helped by perfect weather!)

Ed is extremely knowledgeable and really brought the forest alive for us. It was such a great and different way to spend an evening.

Ed was absolutely fantastic and an incredible host. His passion for wildlife and the forest really was infectious. I learned so much during this truly unique and enjoyable experience. Thank you!!

Such a lovely evening with Ed showing around a beautiful place. Got to see glimpses of the wildlife and learnt so much more about the habitat and birds in the area. Fabulous - thanks!

This is such an amazing and exciting experience. Ed is a brilliant guide - so knowledgeable, passionate and engaging. We had a really memorable time and even saw some wild boar and piglets along the way!

Great experience. Ed was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We saw some really lovely woodland and were lucky to see the Boar and Deer.
The group size was perfect as it meant the tour was personal.

A really informative and enthusiastic guide! We had a brilliant evening and loved learning more about the fauna and flora of the Forest of Dean.

This is the second guided walk I’ve done with Ed. He is an excellent host and very knowledgeable. It’s great to learn about the nature around us.

This is a truly awesome experience with an experienced and passionate guide. Ed really brought the forest to life, pointing out vital signs of the flora and fauna giving a new understanding of the Forest of Dean. Great sightings of both wild boar and deer were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

Excellent. Ed was an great host, passionate and knowledge about the Forest of Dean. We saw some good birds on Cannop Ponds, deer in the Forest and we were lucky to have had superb Wild Boar views. The Forest is both interesting for natural history and it's social/industrial history.

Great evening in great company. Very interesting walk, heard and saw wildlife going about their routine, very exciting to be part of their environment.

Ed is very knowledgeable, patient and easy going, will recommend to our friends.

Ed is a great guide who kept interested as we walked through two different environments. He showed us both the range of wildlife but also the impact of some of those wildlife.

Fantastic wildlife safari with Ed Drewitt. Ed was very engaging and informative. Really enjoyed the experience.

Ed is an engaging guide who draws your attention to things you just wouldn’t have noticed without his knowledge. We also saw a sole fallow deer grazing in a woodland meadow and came within feet of a pack of wild boar who thundered off through the bracken when they realised we were close by. Recommended!

Ed is an excellent host. A very enjoyable experience. Hearing wild boar a few feet away and seeing a beautiful, pregnant fallow deer were the highlights.

A very enjoyable evening with a knowledgeable host in Ed Drewitt and like minded companions. Heard and saw numerous birds, sightings of deer and a very close encounter with the elusive wild boar. Ed taught us to look for the clues of the wild life in the magical Forest of Dean. Highly recommended.

A regular walk brought to life with the relaxed but informative style of Ed Drewitt

Ed was a great guide who had so much knowledge of the nature, history and geography of the Forest of Dean. His enthusiasm is infectious and he led us on a fascinating early evening tour on which we heard wild boar and signs of their digging and wallowing. We saw fallow deer, Woodcoks flying, Mandarin Ducks, greylag geese and other water fowl. We also heard lots of bird song which Ed was able to identify for us but even i could recognise the owl hoots (Tawny Owl).
It was a great evening.

Very enjoyable walk and I learnt lots from Ed, who is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Christmas Present no idea of cost. Instructions for arrival clear and concise. Enjoyed hugley Ed set the scene on landscape and its heritage. Helped to pick out birds - would not have been able to appreciate the birds without his guidance and support. No boar/deer did not detract on the day. However, whole experience was enjoyable - 2 hours was the right length. Not suitable for young children - as the get older I am sure they would appreciate it. Would recommend to friends and family
