Yup - plenty of endemics that only live on this little hilltop or that little patch of forest and nowhere else.

Their intake forms are very complete as to where you want to go, what you want to see, what accommodations you wish from camping to five-star. They also provide transportation.; When we plan, I not only look on e-bird to make a desired list but then let CRE know what I am looking for. They are very familiar with what is seen where and at what time. They are also very good letting you know if the regular weather precludes driving there, for example. In our experience, most of the lodges have guides but there are also local guides for off-grounds experiences.
