Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

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.

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 Some of the details in the tour information was slightly out of date but nothing of critical importance.

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.

Naturetrek are a very caring company who make each step of the holiday easy.

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 to see as well the efforts of the authorities and local people to preserve this magical place.

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.

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.

Naturetrek used The Big 5 Safari company in Botswana- both companies were excellent.

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 !

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.

Varied day trip , well informed guide

Pre trip information accurate

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.

Allowed me to book at the last minute with the least of fuss. All instructions provided in a timely and accurate way

A bird-watching trip to Colombia

Naturetrek, awell-known organizer of nature trips

As an avid nature lover, I added many new birds to my life list and had a fun time while doing so.

Naturetrek delivered a great experience.

The Falkland Islands was a fantastic remote location full of wildlife, where anything can happen. From day one of our holiday we knew it was going to be an adventure of a lifetime and it didn’t disappoint. From the moment we visited Sea Lion Island and saw Killer Whales and Elephant Seals, we were in paradise. All the accommodations, food, travelling in 4x4 comfortable vehicles across the rugged terrain met all our expectations. We would definitely return to visit the islands we have not visited.

Andy was a very knowledgeable guide, he was patient, approachable and most of all very funny and loved his job, nothing was too much trouble when any questions were asked of him, he’s definitely the best guide as his photography and birding knowledge was outstanding.
