There's so much in terms of both variety and number of experiences, it's hard to capture one moment. Dolphins, elephants, stampeding water buffalo, oh and the wonderful stars at night, and the warm, smiling people. It was all unforgetable.
(more)We had a brilliant time in Namibia; it's a fantastic country with an amazing variety of scenery, wonderful birds and animals and a great climate... and can be enjoyed without too much hassle, important when travelling with 4 children.
(more)In Borneo we met and travelled with like minded families and individuals, who along with good humoured guides added enormously to the pleasure of the trip. It was excellent and would thoroughly recommend for those who are adventurous, like variety and don't mind a bit of roughing. (more)Excellent. As a family experience it could not be beaten. The guides and staff were excellent and made our holiday extremely informative and fun.

The most memorable part was: eating dinner by the camp fire with family and new friends after a fabulous day on the river! Calm, fun, and a memorable family adventure. (more)Memorable for me for wonderful wildlife we really saw ( so often we have been disappointed, even in Amazon rain forest). We saw dolphins and seals and lots of beautiful sea birds, we fished and laid lobster pots. We caught a lobster, along with crab and star fish, and netted plankton which we examined under microscope.

We loved the holiday - it was the whole family's favourite to date and was made special because of the other families and the Guides, esp. in the Galapagos where Pedro, the local guide, was intelligent, fun and great with the children. (more)One special moment I shall remember is the magnificent braai organised in Scotia Park after a days game watching. The personal attention of the ranger, the quality and quantity of the food, the free bar, the kindness, the gentle music played around the campfire and the intimacy of the environment made this braai an unforgettable high. (more)Every day had a new highlight - camping in the Serengeti and hearing lions prowling around the site in the early hours, being invited into an elderly woman’s house in the Usambara mountains, snorkelling in the Indian Ocean (more)Great opportunities for game viewing without the overcrowding of vehicles often experienced in East Africa... The kids absolutely loved the sand boarding, quad biking in the sand dunes as did most of the adults! (more)
Most memorable was watching the animals at the water hole at the Okaukuejo camp in Etosha national park. We could have spent hours just sitting there watching them. (more)
Many wonderful memories, among which magnificent sunsets, mating lions and a leopard resting in a high tree near its prey, a young impala, lifted in the tree. Lions and leopard were seen in the Moremi Game reserve. (more)I am not sure what was the most memorable or exciting part of our holiday - for the three of us it would be different things. I think for my daughter it would be the fact that a leopard visited our camp in the Simien Mountains...I would say it was a truly amazing time. (more)Community Work in Sasenyi Primary School - completing the foundations for a new classroom in record time & seeing how hard teamwork can make a crucial difference to people who have to live without much material support! But seeing six cheetahs was also very exciting!! (more)This was probably the best holiday I have ever been on. Both my son and I will never forget it. I absolutely relished being close to nature out at sea and on the island. I am definitely considering travelling to see more dolphins or whales in other parts of the world. (more)The safaris were superb and far exceeded our expectations with the amount and variety of animals / birds that we were surrounded by on a daily basis. The people were both friendly and helpful and really made the whole holiday exceptional.

The most exciting part was being totally alone (or feeling like it) in the vast expanse of the Maasai Mara's rolling plains. (more)
This was fantastic. The 4 crew from the operator worked extremely hard to make everything run smoothly and ensured we all had a great time. (more)
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
