Borneo's Deramakot Forest Reserve - a magical place to see Borneo's elusive mammals and birds.
Our trip was well organised, led by two expert leaders Nick and Mike and supported by a delightful and efficient land crew. The accommodation and transport was excellent and the itinerary made the most of our brief visit to Sabah. Night Drives from Deramakot Forest Reserve HQ proved to be highly successful and all members of our group were in full support of the Leaders' suggestion we "go for it" every night to see as many nocturnal mammals ...
Our trip was well organised, led by two expert leaders Nick and Mike and supported by a delightful and efficient land crew. The accommodation and transport was excellent and the itinerary made the most of our brief visit to Sabah. Night Drives from Deramakot Forest Reserve HQ proved to be highly successful and all members of our group were in full support of the Leaders' suggestion we "go for it" every night to see as many nocturnal mammals as possible. This resulted in excellent views of the elusive Clouded Leopard, Leopard Cat and several species of Civet and Squirrels. Nick and Mikes' knowledge of reptile, amphibians and various "bugs" was a surprise and resulted in some very impressive photographs by the more "professional" photographers. Seeing the Pygmy Elephant as well as all the important monkeys and primates at Kinabatangan and Deramakot made for an almost perfect trip. What's not perfect? There's always those mammals that we didn't see but that could result in a return trip sometime!

Naturetrek has proved to be an efficient, experienced tour operator with excellent UK and local leaders. I would definitely recommend Naturetrek to friends and count myself as a real fan. An excellent company with excellent communication and organisational skills.





Glorious wildlife in a unique setting
We stayed in a former US radar station just outside Panama City, which made for a unique eco lodge. The viewing platform gave panoramic views across the rainforest. Although not deluxe, the lodge was comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Food was excellent. The wildlife guide was particularly knowledgeable, helping us amass an extensive list of birds and other creatures. The weather held up well until the final afternoon ...

I have been on ten tours with Naturetrek, and I am very impressed with them. Transport delays have been resolved to the best of their abilities. The one time our guide had to withdraw for a family crisis, we received appropriate compensation. I would be happy to go with them again. They have an excellent range of wildlife tours.

Naturetrek is a long establishes tour operator although this was the first tour that I have made with them. I see no reason why I would not select another Naturetrek tour.





A wonder way to experience Provence.
This was my second holiday with Naturetrek and I intend to go again. The tour was well organized and exceeded my expectations.

Everything goes as promised and they respond immediately to correspondence. I wish all tour operators did the same.





Birding Paradise in the South of France
A high level of interest from start to finish, whether an early morning walk before breakfast, visiting all the 'hot spots' as well as lesser known areas through to an excellent dinner with plenty of friendly, informative chat.

a highly professional company, ensuring that every last detail is addressed and clearly understood by all





Very enjoyable trip
Remote region with few visitors and lots of wildlife. Well organised by Naturetrek guide who was knowledgeable and skilled in managing the group and the lodge guides. Good mix of group activities and individual options. Some exceptional views of exciting species of birds, mammals and snakes.

Flowers of Gargano Peninsular - a glorious technicolour expereience
A real pleasure from start to finish. Flights to weather - all without a hitch. Andrew Cleave, our guide, showed interesting and objective sites, more than fluent in commentary and worked very hard behind the scenes to make our enjoyment full.
