Fantastic Costa Rican experience

This was our fifth trip organised by Allan & Kirsty at Wildlife Trails and once again exceeded our expectations. They put together a tailor made trip to Costa Rica from the cloud forests in the north to the pacific coast in the south which suited us down to the ground. Mayer our guide and Naturalist was with us every step of the way. His knowledge about the flora, fauna, social and political history of his country was second to none. He taught ...

This was our fifth trip organised by Allan & Kirsty at Wildlife Trails and once again exceeded our expectations. They put together a tailor made trip to Costa Rica from the cloud forests in the north to the pacific coast in the south which suited us down to the ground. Mayer our guide and Naturalist was with us every step of the way. His knowledge about the flora, fauna, social and political history of his country was second to none. He taught us so much and we know without him the holiday would not have been such a success. We count ourselves lucky to have had him as our guide. The organisation of the whole trip was excellent. Most of the lodges had their own USP, some were up in the cool cloud forest and some on the hot steamy coast. This meant we were able to see a whole range of birds, mammals, amphibians, lizards and insects etc. Everyone we met was friendly, kind and helpful. Costa Ricans are proud of their country and certainly know how to make visitors feel at home.

Wildlife Trails once again excelled in organising our trip. They were always there to answer questions and went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. One of the keys to their success is that they listen to what you want and organise a trip that suits you not them. They also ensure all their ground agents and guides are first rate which means your holiday goes without a hitch. We can't recommend them highly enough. We're looking forward to our next adventure with them.

Derek and Sandra have travelled with Wildlife Trails 3 times in the 10 months since the 'end' of the travel restrictions to some of our key destinations and we always enjoy the planning and trip design which comes with their bespoke or small group tours. We are so happy that their latest safari to Costa Rica was such a big hit. Our thanks as well to the excellence of Mayer their wonderful guide. Next stop, Tanzania :-)

Excellent trip to Costa Rica

We had an excellent three week holiday touring Costa Rica in January/February 2020. We planned and booked our trip with Allan from Wildlife Trails. We spent our time exploring the various national parks photographing the wildlife and the amazing scenery. We had a private tour which included visits to Manuel Antonio, Corcovado, San Gerardo do Dota, Monteverde and St Elena. We saw lots of amazing wildlife including Tapirs and various Monkeys and ...

We had an excellent three week holiday touring Costa Rica in January/February 2020. We planned and booked our trip with Allan from Wildlife Trails. We spent our time exploring the various national parks photographing the wildlife and the amazing scenery. We had a private tour which included visits to Manuel Antonio, Corcovado, San Gerardo do Dota, Monteverde and St Elena. We saw lots of amazing wildlife including Tapirs and various Monkeys and the stunning birds. The accommodation was all of a good standard in some great locations. All the transfers worked like clockwork, we travelled by road and saw a large part of this wonderful country. This was our seventh holiday booked with Wildlife Trails and they are always a great experience.

We have used Wildlife Trails since 2008 when we first visited India for our first Tiger safari. They are now our first stop for all our long haul holidays. They are a small family run company who have taken great care of us during the whole process of initial thoughts and plans through to the actual holiday and beyond. We are looking forward to our next trip to Canada in September 2022, third time lucky due to the impact of COVID-19 on international travel. We have a long bucket list of future holidays and look forward to discussing and planning them with Allan and Kirsty. We regularly recommend them to other travellers on our holidays when we say where we’ve been and what we’ve experienced.
