Sani Lodge is the eco-tourism arm of the Sani Village. We arranged 30 minute flight followed by a three hour boat ride to get to the lodge where we stayed for five days. Domingo showed us the good birding sites, and he was amazing in his ability to see birds in the dense forest, and to recognize calls. Highlight as we saw the first ever Whimbrel near the lodge!
