Puma watching in Chile - great wildlife and scenery
We traveled to Torres del Paine in Chile with NatureTrek Ltd in search of pumas. Over 6 days we had some 14 or so sightings of puma. NatureTrek were great! Very informative and helpful.

Friendly and interesting natural history holiday in warm and welcoming Sicily
The team leaders and fellow travellers made this a vey special holiday for me. I was a novice bird watcher but with a keen interest in all flora and fauna. The hospitality of Baron Peter and his team was exceptional, as was the food and wine. The weather was glorious and a trip to the crater on Etna especially memorable. We enjoyed the care and expertise of two Naturetrek guides and saw an amazing range of birds, butterflies and flowers.

The tour operator took care of all the arrangements and kept us fully informed of travel details and items we should include to make the trip comfortable and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the fact they booked us in online and sent boarding passes. All correspondence was answered promptly and efficiently and all feedback was personally acknowledged.

brilliant natural history holiday in Frrance
It was a week in Provence, looking for birds, flowers and butterflies. We stayed in two small Logis hotels, both were typically French, with warm ambience and good food. We travelled short distances to varying habitats, and walked through the countryside, looking at listening to all the wildlife. It was a small group of 12, and we all got on well together. Everything was organised for us, even the picnic lumches.

Naturetrek was brilliant. The pre holiday information was excellent. The two tour leaders were very good, and looked after us very well. Everything was covered by Naturetrek - all we had to pay for was tips and drinks, and souvenirs. It was my first trip with Naturetrek, and it won't be the last - in fact, I've already booked another with them.





A great holiday for those who love nature, the out-doors and France
A regular visitor to France when our childred were young, it now must be 10+ years since we were there as we have been doing "The World". This holiday reminded me just what a fantastic country France is. The area's we visited; the Vaucluse and the Camargue, we so very different, but each had spectacular scenery and such a varied flora and fauna. Each day saw us visit a diffeerent terrain,: gorges, mountains, woodland, salt marshes, each ...

I enjoy bird-watching, and many years ago did a weeks bird-watching holiday. While very enjoyable, I was birded up at the end. Having both a botanist and ornithologist with us, gave the trip much more variation. Butterfly spotting was new to me but by the end of the week I was hooked. French food needs no introduction and I really enjoyed my re-aquaintance with it. A super week

They did what it says on the tin. I have very little experince of tour operators as we normally travel independantly, as we did at the end of this holiday having several days on our own on the French Riviera, The guides were particularly excellent and made the holiday.

Apart from flight change from Heathrow to Stansted , an excellent birding and wine tasting holiday. Good pre tour information & advice.





A safari that will not be forgotten for a long time
As far as we are concerned we were completely satisfied with the holiday. The tented accommodation was really good (with proper beds and private facilities) and the camp staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was very good and we were amazed at the excellent fare the cook provided on such a "primitive" kitchen.

Naturetrek's brochure was very accurate and the staff so very friendly and helpful and we would certainly travel with them again.





An unusual safari experience
This was a safari with lots of night drives to see rare mammals including Aadvarks and Black footed cats. It was very successful ( 4 aardvarks). I had been on about 30 African wildlife safaris before and never seen an aardvark so I was very pleased to see a new species. The accommodation, food and guides were all very good, and South Africa seems a very well organised, clean and friendly country.

Naturetrek always seem to organise very good holidays. Everything ran smoothly, including airport transfers as we had a tight connection at Jo'burg but were met and escorted through efficiently. I have been on over 10 holidays with this company to all parts of the world and have always been very happy with them. I often travel alone and am always confident that I will be looked after well and will travel with like-minded people.





Spain's Coto Donana & Extremadura Birdwatching.
It was a superb holiday. The 2 trip leaders were real experts in their field of birds and both excellent at identifying wild flowers. They listened to what the group wanted to see and went to great lengths to try and find good locations for seeing the given species. In addition the hotel locations were stunning, the first overlooking a lagoon and the second with wonderful views.
