Excellent

Everything from start to finish was well organised and ran seamlessly. It was a fantastic itinerary which gave us maximum wildlife viewing opportunities during our stay in the Panatanal

I've travelled with Naturetrek three times and have found them to be extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble and they have always put together good itineraries and have answered my many questions speedily and with really good information

An unforgettable wildlife safari

Staying at a permanent camp in a remote part of South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, we were surrounded by diverse flora, over 150 species of birds, and mammals great and small. Numerous groups of elephants,three prides of lions, and five different leopards seen in a series of game drives and escorted walking safaris.

Naturetrek provided the package, their first to this camp. Their pre-departure service was very good, they provided a first-class guide, so we were very pleased with them.

South America's Big Cats by Greg, 25 Oct 2017
Holiday Rating:

A very special trip: Brazil - Jaguars up close and hot; Chile - Pumas coy, distant and cold. Perfect contrast.

A wonderful wildlife experience with a fantastically knowledgeable guide who inspired us all with his enthusiasm. I am not sure how he managed it, but a constant flow of big cat sightings, wonderful birds and amazing mammals seemed to parade themselves before us. And when the wildlife slowed down we had some of the most stunning scenery imaginable. The jaguar sightings were one of the most thrilling experiences of my life, something I will ...

This is our sixth trip with Naturetrek and this lived up to their fantastically high standards. Very minor quibbles regarding vegetarian food - quality of - are insignificant compared with their attention to detail and above all, the quality of their tour leaders. Costly, but more than worth it for another memorable brilliant holiday.

Spirit Bears of the Great Bear Rainforest

We wanted to explore the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada, hoping to see the unique white 'Spirit Bears' that live only in this area of BC.. They are a rare genetic variation of the Black Bear and we were fortunate to see not only 'Spirit Bears', but Black Bears and Grizzly Bears, as well as Humpback Whales, Sea Otters, and so much more. Thanks to our expert boat crew and naturalist guides we had the privilege of being very ...

They are a rare genetic variation of the Black Bear and we were fortunate to see not only 'Spirit Bears', but Black Bears and Grizzly Bears, as well as Humpback Whales, Sea Otters, and so much more. Thanks to our expert boat crew and naturalist guides we had the privilege of being very close indeed when watching them, and we learnt so much more about their lives. Fantastic wildlife, amazing scenery, excellent food and good company - what more could we want? Well, OK, the clue is in the name of the Great Bear Rainforest - it did rain a lot, but the sun did shine as well! Rain or shine, it was a truly magical and memorable holiday.

We have booked numerous wildlife holidays with Naturetrek and always been fortunate to see the wildlife we wanted to see. Nothing can be guaranteed with wildlife, but Naturetrek managers and guides have all the necessary experience and expertise to give their clients the best possible chances to see what they hope to see.

It was an amazing holiday. It far exceeded my expectations.

It was a two week safari trip to South Africa. The main objective was to view the various big cats and mammals of the Kruger Park and Sabi Sands. It involved morning and evening drives in the bush. We moved to several lodges over the area. Each lodge was fantastic. The guides were exceptional and very informative and I would thoroughly recommend this holiday to anyone.

Botswana desert and delta mobile camping holiday

We are experienced wildlife safari holidaymakers and this was our second trip to Botswana. We did add an extension to the trip so that we could holiday in two game lodges at the end of our mobile camping trip and extend the experience. We had at least half a dozen new experiences over the many we have had previously on safari in Africa, India and other similar wildlife countries including a wild dog chase and kill, new animals and being woken ...

We had at least half a dozen new experiences over the many we have had previously on safari in Africa, India and other similar wildlife countries including a wild dog chase and kill, new animals and being woken by predators outside the tent. The whole experience was excellent, the guides were at the top of their game, food and accommodation good at all locations. We would definitely recommend this holiday.

We have used Naturetrek on many occasions for our wildlife trips and always found them to be excellent from providing initial information through to providing the holiday experience. We would recommend them for the type of holiday they provide.

It was fantastic from start to finish.

I travelled to Selous & Ruaha in Southern Tanzania staying 4 nights in each location. I was particularly excited about seeing wild dog 3 days out of 4 in Selous as I have never seen them in the wild before. The other passengers were great as was the tour guide and the local guides. We saw leopard,cheetah, lion. buffalo and loads of elephant. I really couldn't have asked for a better trip.

As he is from Tanzania originally he was very helpful with local knowledge. His knowledge about birds is fantastic. A very nice pleasant character who clearly loves his job.
