Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

We spent 7 nights in tented safari camps in the Delta. We went on 2 safari drives each day and never failed to see an almost overwhelming array of wildlife. We learned a huge amount about the ‘circle’ of life and the interplay of the different species with their environment. Both the scenery and the animals were truly wonderful.

We have used Naturetrek for 2 adventures so far and have already booked a further 2 trips. We particularly like their ‘ethos’, but also the structure of the trips, use of local guides and the focus on the wildlife in as natural an environment as is possible. The pre-departure information and support is excellent, they are always willing to discuss/answer any queries …and there is always an ‘expert’ to deal with specific questions relating to your particular trip.

Our safari was incredible! The whole booking process was streamlined and made simple by NatureTrek. The accommodation was fantastic and our guide was phenomenal. Patient, knowledgeable and just a fabulous person!

NatureTrek are incredible, they tailored the holiday to us as a family. They make everything so easy.

A mobile tented safari to Botswana; we stayed in two camps with game drives twice a day. We were very fortunate to see two packs of African Wild Dogs, following one as it set off on a hunt, and we had excellent sightings of leopards, cheetahs and lions, all with cubs, as well as some great night drives which allowed us to see a hyena pack getting ready for a hunt and tiny jackal pups in their den. The guides were very skilful at negotiating bumpy and sandy terrain, getting us close to animals without being intrusive. All of the camp staff were lovely, producing daily hot water for showers, delicious cooked meals, accompanied by fresh bread and cold wine, all in the middle of nowhere!

Naturetrek has been my choice of tour operator for two earlier holidays with my daughter, to India to visit tiger reserves and to Brazil to see jaguars in the Pantanal. The pre-departure information has been thorough and the guides who accompanied us were well-informed, good humoured and looked after us very well.

With two safaris a day plus a few night safaris we saw so much wonderful wildlife. Across a week we stayed at three of the camps which meant we got to see different parts of the park with markedly different landscapes. The two tour guides were excellent with high levels of expertise, having immersed themselves in the park's wildlife for many years.

The tour was very well organised, with very prompt responses to my queries, and very helpful supporting information to make sure we were well prepared for the trip and got the most out of it.

The experience of watching animals’ behaviour is what this holiday is about. This was our 3rd trip to the area and would go again because animals constantly surprise. The only constant is the friendly staff and hospitality.

Regular with Nature Trek who deserve their high reputation.

Using Hacienda Venecia, in the coffee growing region of Colombia, as a base we had days trips to various birding sites. We were able to see a large variety of birds including endemics at various elevations as well as a visit to a dam to see water birds.

This was my first trip with Naturetrek and it was very well organised. Pre-departure information was comprehensive and the guide and driver in Colombia outstanding. Our guide Guillermo Nagy had an encyclopaedic knowledge of Colombian birds and was adept at spotting them and/or recognising their song. He went to great lengths to ensure everyone was well looked after.

This was a group tour which met in Cuiabá before travelling to 3 different locations to see wildlife with a fantastic guide.

Naturetrek compiled a great itinerary and have good communication with the traveller prior & during your trip.

Very interesting place to visit (Alderney) Excellent hotel ( Braye Beach) Very good guide from Nature trek - friendly and informative. Good company.

As always, very clear information. Helpful staff. Good value for those interested in nature.

Relaxed, but exciting, birding in warm autumn weather in the beautiful island of Mallorca. Excellent guides, really first class accommodation and food

Naturetrek, as always, had everything organised with no problems at all during the trip

The trip involved several lodges and hotels with travel between various habitats and elevations to maximise our chances of seeing the best of the best Peru had to offer. It was a good mix of birds, mammals and culture. Our guide Jose worked tirelessly to make sure we were all happy, well and had seen the majority of the bird sightings. The local guides were all excellent and very accomplished at taking photos with mobile phones through their telescope so those of us without long lenses had souvenier photos and videos to show the family and friends back home.

I have tried several tour operators but have always preferred Naturetrek and now look no where else. Their attention to detail and ability to find and employ exceptional tour leaders makes for a worry free trip. On the rare occasion when things go wrong, through no fault of their own, they are there to sort it 24/7. I also like the fact that they plough profits back into land to save the cloud forests of Ecuador and land in other countries for nature restoration projects.
