Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Well structured trip with excellent local driver guides and very good Naturetrek leader. Namibia was beautiful, spacious and friendly. Great birds and wildlife but also an excellent museum in Swakopmund, evidence of first Portuguese discovery and marvellous rock art. Food and drink varied from okay to great. Accommodation the same with Damaraland a serious highlight. Every day offered something special.

Naturetrek have solid experience of running this trip in Namibia and had made some necessary adjustments which worked well and ensured value for money and a balanced/varied trip.On the ground they had a very good partnership with local operator Wilderness safaris. My personal (history and cultural) interests were respected and accommodated without fuss. Handled a varied group with ease.

Naturetrek holidays do ' what is on the tin'.

This holiday comprised stays on the islands of Tenerife and Fuerteventura in pursuit of the islands natural history including birds, plants and other animals.

I have travelled with the operator Naturetrek for many years now and have found them to provide comprehensive, interesting and well-thought out itineraries led by trusted expert guides.

A weekend experiencing the wildlife in Forest of Dean

Everything went smoothly - all the arrangements were clearly explained. The guide enabled us to have a fantastic experience despite the poor weather.

It fulfilled all my dreams. Kafunta Lodge where we stayed, could no have been bettered. The care of the guests never faltered and there were wonderful touches, such as a "sundowner" break in the evening safari where we all quaffed gin and tonics and nibbled tasty snacks while looking at amazing views. We ate in different dining areas in the lodge, and once in a treetop dining room - superb. The guides could not have been more delightful and knowledgeable and I saw all the animals I had hoped to see. How they spotted some of the smaller ones I shall never know. The food at the lodge (breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner!!)was of a high standard and the chefs were happy to provide vegetarian or gluten free options. The manageress (Lisa) was always hand and the little touches, like flannels to wipe our sticky hands on return from a safari are most welcome. Not to be faulted

Everything was arranged smoothly and we received plenty of information about the upcoming holiday. My one very small caveat was that it was difficult get a visa online and it might have been better if the travel company undertook this chore on behalf of its guests.

This was our first time with Naturetrek, and we will certainly use them again. The organisation of the trip and their advice and attention to detail was superb from the initial enquiry onwards . The quality of the naturalists was outstanding, which was one of the reasons for going with this company.

Specialist wild life holiday operator

Ten days visiting Lake Navaisha and the Massai Mara, where all the wild nature experiences were around us- Kills being devoured by several species,including hyenas Vultures and eagles on separate occasions family togetherness of a variety of big cats, Dung beatles doing there thing, a great boat trip on lake Navaisha, in short all that you could hope to see. This not to mention the life around our lodges, plenty to see if you needed a rest day(no one did!)This was a great holiday

Naturetrek specialise in wildlife holidays and are very good at showing you the goods. The only negative I would find is that the lack of a representative at the UK airports is a little concerning- we arn't all great on Modern phones or internet

A 2-3 day birdwatching holiday in Norfolk earlier this month.

My first holiday with them and found them to be very good.

A birdwatching long weekend in Norfolk. A couple of pre-dawn starts and some inclement weather, but some fantastic sightings. Excellent guide who worked hard to take us to the most promising locations, had a wealth of knowledge that he was very pleased to share and interacted well with the group. Good hotel with very good food. The weekend was well researched and well organised. Good value for money.

Naturetrek provide a very good product - well researched and well organised holidays that are good value for money.

A week's birdwatching on Islay and Jura - brilliant tour guides, excellent hotels and meals, good vehicles. A great experience and highly recommended.

Cannot fault Naturetrek - clear instructions and notes in advance, excellent tour, good follow-up on return
