Its a great and wonderful area for birders and wildlife photography. Highly recomended.

A terrific birding location, and important ecological area that is absolutely worth a visit by birders. Andrei was a very friendly and knowledgable guide and made us feel right at home. Good place to see Dalmatian Pelican , Pygmy Cormorant , and a wide range of other waders and waterbirds.

I visited here in September 2022 with my partner - we stayed with our guide Andrei at Bunca Maria. It was an incredible experience and I recommend for beginners and experienced birdwatchers alike! The accommodation is amazing, food very delicious and it's a great option to meet like-minded birders from all over.

Great place for birding and photography. Exploring by slow boats adds an extra vibe to the experience. Enjoy!

I visited the Danube Delta in April 2024. Upfront I was looking for a nice accomodation which is close to the recommended area of Mahmudia. I first wanted to stay in the bigger city Tulcea but then decided last minute to look for in Mahmudia. So I found by chance the guesthouse for birders Bunica Maria with the owner Andrei, which I highly recommend!

We had 3 great days with lots of birds in the delta and even a tour into the mountains nearby. Danube delta is such a lovely place and I will for sure visit this great place for birders again. It is so rich in species that you needs several days to get only a few of them.

Great place for bird watching, definitely worth visiting and experiencing, you won't be sorry. Andrei is a great host from Mahmudia with tons of experience. It is my third time coming here and looking forward to the next one.

Well worth a special journey, large number of species in a very small area. My first boat trip ticked off Dalmatian Pelican, Great White Pelican, Common Kingfisher, Black-winged Stilt and ruddy duck within the first 15 minutes!

I stayed at the Bunica Maria guesthouse for 4 nights, in mid June 2024, and went birding with Andrei by boat mainly to the Carasuhat, but also to the natural lakes deeper in the delta. We also did some birding in the hills behing Mahmoudia by car. I recommend Andrei as a guide, he's knowledgable and has a sharp eye. The guesthouse is clean and comfortable and the food good. The Danube delta is a huge, pristine environment, really wild, and of great beauty. Birds we saw:

Barn Swallow, Bearded Reedling, Black Stork, Black-crowned Night Heron, Black-necked Grebe, Black-tailed Godwit, Black-winged Stilt, Caspian Gull, Common Chiffchaff, Common Cuckoo, Common Kestrel, Common Kingfisher, Common Moorhen, Common Pochard, Common Redstart, Common Reed Bunting, Common Shelduck, Common Starling, Common Swift, Common Tern, Corn Bunting, Crested Lark, Dalmatian Pelican, Eurasian Blue Tit, Eurasian Chaffinch, Eurasian Collared Dove, Eurasian Coot, Eurasian Hobby, Eurasian Hoopoe, Eurasian Penduline Tit, Eurasian Spoonbill, Eurasian Teal, Eurasian Tree Sparrow, European Bee-eater, European Goldfinch, European Roller, Ferruginous Duck, Glossy Ibis, Great Cormorant, Great Crested Grebe, Great Egret, Great Reed Warbler, Great White Pelican, Green Sandpiper, Grey Heron, Greylag Goose, Hooded Crow, House Sparrow, Isabelline Wheatear, Little Bittern, Little Egret, Little Grebe, Little Owl, Long-eared Owl, Long-legged Buzzard, Long-tailed Bushtit, Mallard, Mute Swan, Northern Lapwing, Northern Shoveler, Northern Wheatear, Pied Avocet, Purple Heron, Pygmy Cormorant, Red-backed Shrike, Red-footed Falcon, Red-necked Grebe, Rook, Ruddy Shelduck, Ruff, Squacco Heron, Syrian Woodpecker, Tawny Pipit, Western House Martin, Western Jackdaw, Western Marsh Harrier, Western Yellow Wagtail, Whiskered Tern, White Stork, White Wagtail, White-tailed Eagle, White-winged Tern,
