Well organised and yet felt so spontaneous
Our recent mammals and birds trip across Ecuador was much awaited after covid delays . The quality of the interactions with Naturetrek was superb at all times and the admin of the trip was sleek and efficient . The selection of the areas we visited were superb and over two weeks we travelled and were enriched by the natural history we were expertly guided on . We felt that the days were superbly planned and yet felt so bespoke and spontaneous ...
Our recent mammals and birds trip across Ecuador was much awaited after covid delays . The quality of the interactions with Naturetrek was superb at all times and the admin of the trip was sleek and efficient . The selection of the areas we visited were superb and over two weeks we travelled and were enriched by the natural history we were expertly guided on . We felt that the days were superbly planned and yet felt so bespoke and spontaneous . This was a small group tour of 9 people and in the instance when one of our party required urgent hospital treatment the process was treated with calm and good clear direction . Overall every small detail was attended to - we are well seasoned traveller and could find nothing to make negative note of .

Really fantastic wildlife experience
Off the beaten track bush camp in South Luangwa National Park, with excellent staff and great game drives. Really good to be in a small group and to have our individual requirements catered for. Lots of wildlife, and very experienced and knowledgeable leaders.

Rating for tour operator:The information given before the holiday was timely and clear. It was great to have an e-mail directly to a tour expert to ask any questions and get a direct answer. Some of the details in the tour information was slightly out of date but nothing of critical importance.
Enjoyable and fun group bird watching tour
The tour gave every tour member the chance to experience bird watching in the South of France in December. Best of all the two group leaders gave us humour, dedication and a family feel to our busy days..great picnic lunches and overall an amazing holiday.

An amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip that should be on everyone's bucket list
A simply magical trip around the Galapagos islands with a wonderful, knowledgable guide on a quirky but luxurious boat. The crew couldn't do enough for me to make the trip fun, comfortable and memorable. It was truly amazing to see the plant and animal life on these evolutionary petri dish islands, both in and above the water. I will never forget swimming with Galapagos penguins, sealions, 2 species of sharks and marine iguanas. Lovely ...

Lovely to see as well the efforts of the authorities and local people to preserve this magical place.
Rating for tour operator:An extremely efficient and knowledgable person who worked hard to take in account everyone's needs and wishes and never seemed phased with last minute requests.
Naturetrek : Botswana's Desert and Delta
Mobile safari in the beautiful Okoavango Delta Area in Botswana. Absolutely stunning birdlife- we saw 197 species in a week. Highlights were the fish eagles, spoonbills, hornbills and lilac breasted rollers. Besides the prolific birdlife, we also had the privilege of seeing lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, giraffe and various antelope. We were often the only people witnessing these special moments. The stunning orange, pink and red African ...
Mobile safari in the beautiful Okoavango Delta Area in Botswana. Absolutely stunning birdlife- we saw 197 species in a week. Highlights were the fish eagles, spoonbills, hornbills and lilac breasted rollers. Besides the prolific birdlife, we also had the privilege of seeing lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, giraffe and various antelope. We were often the only people witnessing these special moments. The stunning orange, pink and red African sunsets made a atmospheric backdrop to our sundowners each day. Our night drives anticipating the animal night life was exciting too. Luxury camping made the experience memorable. All in all a terrific holiday.
Rating for tour operator:Naturetrek used The Big 5 Safari company in Botswana- both companies were excellent.
Birdwatching and stargazing in rural Portugal
We spent an enjoyable week in the Alentejo region of Portugal, visiting a number of different locations, principally for birdwatching. There were also visits to an astronomical observatory, winery, old town and villages and a megalithic stone circle, all of which gave a well-rounded focus to the tour overall. The two leaders were knowledgeable, helpful and the accommodations well-selected. Food was also excellent !

Rating for tour operator:We have booked tours with Naturetrek for many years, both short day trips in the UK as well as longer tours abroad and have found them to be reliable, efficient and offering a very comprehensive selection of wildlife-themed holidays.

Extremadura in Winter
A six day trip to see the birds of Extremadura. Everything went according to plan (except the weather). The two tour leaders were experts and worked hard to get us to great places. Managed to find all the birds we hoped to see even though some were quite tricky. Excellent accommodation and food.

'Extremadura in Winter' Tour by Naturetrek opened up a part of Europe that I had never visited.
As an avid nature lover, I added many new birds to my life list and had a fun time while doing so.
