Wildlife Trails Traveller Reviews

Our Guide and spotter, Moses, was absolutely brilliant! As a photographer himself, he always tried to get into position re. the wildlife that would provide the best photo opportunities. Moses' support team, who maintained the camp and catered for our every need were a lovely group of people. The other 2 members of our group were great company and very generous with their extensive knowledge and expertise. The roads and tracks were tough, but just added to the sense of adventure.. There were too many highlights to mention them all, but it was fantastic to be snuggled up in our tent and listen to the wildlife, such as lions, hyenas, honey badgers and elephants throughout the night. The whole trip was a thrillingly memorable experience, after which we took the opportunity to pop across the border into Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls.

Allan and his team were great at ensuring the trip was as enjoyable as possible; they were great at communicating with us and responding to all questions and requests, giving us the sense that the whole trip was very much a bespoke experience. We had previously been on one of their Indian tiger trips, which we would also recommend.

Moses, our guide, is a fantastic spotter and amazing person. I am fortunate to have met and traveled with him. The small group of 4 was lovely as well, with great traveling companions. It was nice to always have room to move and photograph in the vehicle. We had very close views of wildlife and Moses knew where to position us for photographic opportunities. The roads are rough, so take care of your back, but if you can make the trip, you won't be disappointed.

Wildlife Trails designed a well planned and executed itinerary. The team at Unlimitied Safari worked hard to make our safari and camps a great experience.

We had 2 objectives and both were achieved (Pallas' cats and snow leopard). To obtain them, however, you have to live with sacrifices and natural adversities We would do everything again but if you are looking for a comfortable holiday this is not your place

Good

2 weeks visit. To Botswana visiting Moremi , Khwai, Savuti and Chobe. Lots of long drives but incredible sightings. Excellent wild camps and a nice guest house and lodge. Excellent ground operator. Loved the people and the country. An unforgettable experience.

A small operator who offers personal, friendly service at competitive prices

An excellent trip with fantastic bear viewing and close up encounters, which was the primary objective. But also great opportunities to see other sea life and enjoy the spectacular Alaskan scenery.

Wildlife Trails put together a very effective and balanced itinerary which meant we were doing different things on most days, whilst still having plenty of bear viewing activity.

We toured around central southern Alaska, with Anchorage as the hub. We travelled by hired car, boat and float-plane, often visiting very remote locations. The objectives were wildlife observation and hiking in wilderness locations.

Allan has a wealth of knowledge and experience and was able to set us up with an itinerary that suited our requirements well and would not have been available as a pre-set package.

The first week I hired a car in Anchorage and drove down to Seward where I did an 8 hour boat trip with Kenai Fjords, the highlight of the trip was seeing humpback whales bubblenet feeding. Then I drove north to Denali national park. The second week I flew to Kenai via Kodiak and stayed at Kenai Wilderness Lodge where we had some amazing bear encounters.

Wildlife Trails are a small company who do genuinely tailor made trips. They have personal experience of the majority of the places they recommend, both for wildlife encounters and accommodation. This is especially valuable in destinations where local knowledge and early booking are essential to getting the best experience. For instance, when going bear watching in Alaska everyone thinks of Brook Falls but Katmai wilderness lodge is so much quieter with small groups and no day trippers.

Booking through Allan at Wildlife Trails I had the most incredible experience on this trip. Working with Allan previously we put together an itinerary that included Brooks Falls, Frazer Lake and once more time at the beyond wonderful Katmai Wilderness lodge. You can ver build up too much expectation on wildlife trips but I saw exactly 100 bears, a wolf, many eagles, otters and birdlife, of course salmon on their annual pilgrimage. You get lucky or unlucky with wildlife and you have to be patient with delays due to weather, small plane flights but the outcome was in excess of what I had thought, lucky week to choose but great planning by Wildlife Trails. As for Katmai Wilderness Lodge, just not enough good words to be said about them, if you go you will never be disappointed.

Wildlife Trails are a small family business and Allan has spent many years putting together itineraries for people but most importantly has visited many of the countries and accommodations that are on offer. You can go with a pre-planned itinerary or bespoke but nothing is too much trouble and you feel that you are in safe hands. I would highly recommend them and there are many countries and itineraries to choose from. This was my second booking and feel sure there may be a third in the offing.

We had an amazing experience, enriched by the impressive sightseeing, hiking and wildlife. Our guide, Isuru, was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was very attentive to our preferences, and always keen to help us discover the local Sri Lankan flavours and customs. We stayed mostly in boutique bungalows/hotels in unique locations. The organised activities were led by experienced naturalist, from the hiking in the Knuckles to the safaris in the Yala park.

Wildlife Trails helped us tailor our itinerary to include the Sinharaja forest and Kandy, were very responsive and organised every detail.

We saw lots of wildlife, everything was well organised, safety was top priority and our guides were knowledgable, friendly and enthusiastic.

I used Wildlife Trails to organise the trip. They set up the connection to Oceanwide Expeditions. Wildlife Trails gives very personal service, which is much appreciated.
