India wildlife camp, Jalore Wildlife Sanctuary
The highlight of my trip was the Jalore Wildlife Sanctuary. I was welcome by the owners of the land and taken around on night safaris by the son Ravindra. (more)Viveca Ott
Seeing all three cat species that live savely in the sanctuary was amazing (they where the reason for me wanting to go there). Jungle cat from up 15 m! (more)Yvonne Rijsdijk
We had a truly amazing holiday, we were looked after as if we were royalty by our hosts Gajendra and Ravi and wanted for nothing from the moment we were picked up at Jodhpur airport. (more)Philippa Marland
From £60 per accommodation per night
Patagonia overland tour, Villarica
Memorable parts? Seeing the Moreno glacier and hiking in Torres del Paine. Tips? Make sure you have appropriate footwear (hiking boots). There is no need to bring a sleeping bag as these can be hired at the time (and they are good sleeping bags). Local benefits? The only benefit to local people would be the custom of staying in hotels/eating in restaurants. We did make a conscious effort not to leave rubbish and I suppose 30+ people using 1 bus instead of various means of... (more)Frank Sperling
From £1665 - £1959 excluding flights
History, culture & wildlife of India holiday
This was the trip of a lifetime for us. We asked for a trip that would take us off the beaten track, give us a chance to meet local people and learn about local activities and customs, and give us a good introduction to the culture and history of India. This trip surpassed our goals in every way. (more)Mary Vetter
Udaipur was the most memorable part of the holiday (more)Karen Young
The whole holiday was a highlight, it really was. Our 3 night stay at the Aakriti homestay with Rajat, Mughda and Renu was really memorable. Such a lovely welcoming family, their hospitality and warmth is out of this world, we really felt like members of the family. (more)Sharon Walker
From £1336 excluding flights
Nepal trek with Chitwan National Park safari
Chitwan NP... an encounter with a rhino while on a walk. Pretty amazing watching one of these animals come out of the bush, and your there with your guide and helper, each with nothing more than sticks, looking at these large endangered species... won't forget that! (more)David Whetham
It was wonderful to walk through out the lovely villages meeting people and also the beauty of the countryside and experiencing breath taking views of the mountains. Trekking was the ideal way to experience all of this. My guide was perfect and a sensitive host and along with our porter I felt like a little family at the end. (more)Mrs. Cucuil Stedmann
A tremendous, and sometimes challenging, experience (more)Mark Collier
From US $849 excluding flights
Sri Lanka nature & wildlife holiday
A wonderful time, relaxed good weather and well organised. (more)David Pinner
The smile of the Sri Lankan people was uplifting as was luxuriating in a herbal bath overlooking the Sinharaja Rainforest with lightening flashing on the horizon. Also being accompanied by two guides during our trip who were so enthusiastic, generous hearted and committed to making our holiday everything we had hoped for. (more)Linda Bryant
From £760 excluding flights
Endangered wildlife conservation in South Africa
The most exciting part of my holiday was we saw so many lions in the middle of the night, just a few metres away from us!!!!! (more)Louise Chen
Three really memorable groups of experiences, firstly watching the wild pack of dogs close to the pick-up, much more beautiful than I expected close up...A brilliant holiday, really invigorating, and very informative and worthwhile. (more)Keith Elliot
I had been at Tembe for almost a week without a real sighting of the wild dogs, so the first time they emerged from the underbrush was a huge thrill, especially when they brought all five puppies out! (more)Christiane Woten
From €950 - €1700 excluding flights
Galapagos holiday cruise options
Really there are no words to express how wonderful my holiday was. You have to experience it yourself to appreciate it...the most exciting part was seeing the animals on the Galapagos & swimming with the sea turtles. (more)Sy Schwartz
The most memorable part was swimming with sealions and turtles in the Galapagos. (more)Elaine Edmondson
From £1970 - £2679 excluding flights
Galapagos adventure holiday
Snorkelling with the wonderful under-sea creatures - as well as scores of beautiful fishes, I swam with marine iguanas and sea turtles. Plus the kayaking was a high point for me. (more)Camilla Reeve
At first thought I would say the Bryde whale and her baby playing along side the boat but then well maybe swimming with the penguins!...This holiday was my gift to my daughter for her 21st birthday! I would say the best birthday ever!! (more)Sarah Inkpen
Pretty much all of it - it was fantastic. Maybe snorkelling with sharks and meeting a great group of people. A wonderful, passionate guide...The Best Ever. Literally. (more)Trish Dooley
From US $2595 excluding flights
Ecuador ecolodge, Napo Wildlife Center
Most memorable was walking through the Amazon with one of the Sani guides (whose father happened to have established the Sani Lodge), in the rain, through the mud, finding the most incredible birds, reptiles, insects and plants. (more)Julia Saurazas
The tapir emerged from the forest and remained at the clay lick drinking water for an extended period of time. Simply remarkable. (more)Robert Roberto
We loved the Eco-lodge that we stayed at, the Napo Wildlife Center. It was beautiful, well appointed and our guides were absolutely top notch. We learned an incredible amount and got to experience a wonderful place with wonderful people. (more)Elizabeth Essner
From US $1010 including domestic flights only
Khao Sok tours, four days, Thailand
The elephant ride was great, the trip out to the huts on the lake and morning 'jungle safari' really stick in my mind. These 3 days were the perfect way to see more of Thailand and were a great balance between 'active and relaxing'. (more)Eleanor Turner
The location was awesome. We loved feeling far away from city life in the treehouses of the Nature Resort and the rafthouses at Chieow Laan Lake. (more)Cindy Dorsey
Being amongst the natural wildlife and surrounds of the national park was most memorable...Loved every minute of it! Wish we had spent more time on tours like this and less time in Phuket. (more)Kathy Curmi
From £160 - £390 excluding flights
Costa Rica wildlife holiday
One of the best hoildays we've had. A highlight was Seeing a rhinoceros beetle the size of a hamster! (more)Keith Valentine
Difficult to pick one highlight. The boat trips at Tortegua where we saw an osprey, an otter who played alongside the boat. A very angry caiman coming to protect her youngster. The resplendent Quetzel in the cloud forest is unbelievable. Looking at the frogs in a night hike in the rainforest and also finding a feu de lance. (more)Jane Hambling
From £2399 - £2999 including UK flights
Costa Rica holiday
It's hard to single out individual things - every day brought memorable moments, including close-up and often very special encounters with wildlife, the rafting (got very wet!) and night walks in the forest. (more)Chris Bragg
Most memorable bit - spending Christmas Day exploring the waterways of the rainforests of Tortuguero in a small boat, seeing monkeys swinging through the trees, otters, caiman, iguana, toucans, parrots and countless other birds. (more)Pauline Chapman
From £2479 - £2829 including UK flights
Chitwan safari & rafting in Nepal
The whole trip was amazing. We covered a range of environments within Nepal - bustling Kathmandu, the exotic Chitwan jungle resort, Pokhara and the beautiful (and sometimes scary) mountain roads in between. (more)Titus Powell
Definitely use this operator as they were superb. Thoroughly organised. We were very well looked after. They gave us lots of local information. They were brilliant. (more)Emma Reynolds
Staying in Chitwan National Park, going on the elephant back safaris and being a part of the elephant bathing there were definitely highlights of the trip. Seeing the rhinos, crocodile and monkeys were a lot of fun, and so was seeing Mt. Everest. (more)Nicole Babyak
From US $385 excluding flights
Gujarat holidays, Asiatic Lions, Blackbuck & Wild Asses
Where to start! The lions, the leopard and her cub, the jungle cat kitten, or the magical sighting of wolves. The insight into Gujarati culture was also unforgettable and we were grateful to our driver, Mr Khuman Singh, for not only finding us so much wildlife but also introducing us to local people from all walks of life. (more)Gillian Brand
Fantastic, the mix of adventure with luxury was amazing and the team tried very hard to meet our wishes. It is said all too often how unique somewhere is or a trip is, but in 20 years of travel to India we have never been to such a mix of unique wildlife spots with wonderful palace and fort like accommodation. (more)Ed King
Most memorable? Perhaps the sightings of leopards and wolves as well as the Asiatic lions, wild asses and blackbuck promised. But also being just about the only Europeans in the area we felt a lot closer to the local population including the tribal people. (more)Lesley Prout
From £700 - £860 excluding flights
Wildlife and culture holiday in Malaysia
Memorable parts? 1) Seeing our daughter & son-in-law in Perth WA. 2) The evening flight of bats from the Mulu Caves. 3) The friendliness of the Malay people. Tips? 1) It may be worth considering including an evening meal at the Batang Ai and I suspect this could be negotiated at a very reasonable price. We were in minority of guests without evening dinner included. This was at the Mulu resort and at other location in our itinerary there was the opportunity to eat at nearby restaurants. 2)... (more)John Newnham
From £2825 including UK flights
Wildlife holiday in Indonesia
Seeing the wildlife, orangutan's, gibbons (the sound of them calling was truly magical), Macauques, Silver Langur, Proboscis monkeys, water monitors, crocodiles, snakes, lizards varying types, komoda dragons wild boar and deer... (more)Jane Gannon
The most memorable part of the holiday was the wildlife: Orangutans, Komodo Dragaons, and the sincerity and hospitality of the lndonesian people. (more)Penny Madanick
From £2695 - £2995 including domestic flights only
Southern India tour, temples & nature
I had a wonderful holiday. I have recommended it to many friends already. I think Akriti and explore India do a great job of making a trip across India easy. Great for people who want to go but feel overwhelmed or nervous. (more)Anna Perkins
My days at the homestay, truly memorable. I did not know what to expect from an homestay in a village up in the Nilgiri hills. What I have found is one of the nicest, most caring and friendly families I have ever met. Excellent, an unforgettable experience. I could not recommend more this holiday operator. (more)Anna Maria Reforgiato Recupero
Orange county resort, Kabina is an eco resort where you visit lake and park scenes and the naturalists are very good at communicating. We saw a lot of animals and observed elephants and deer at close quarters. The resort itself has a great infinity pool, a library and extra walks to see birds and elephants. (more)Celia Gibbs
From £494 excluding flights
Wildlife holiday in Sri Lanka
Seeing a leopard... actually 3. This operator was a fine travel agency. Hotels were great and food was fine. Driver was excellent and guide was great. (more)Jane Basilico
From £1355 excluding flights
Brazil wildlife holiday, tailor made
Memorable parts? Travelling in the Amazon, unfortunately they had the worse floods in 60 years which made getting ashore more difficult but exciting!! Tips? Go for it!! But plan well ahead and take the appropriate clothing etc. Local benefits? When in Rio a trip to the Flavella'a was beneficial to the local people, as I understand that the tour operator paid a percentage, plus the visitors purchased drinks in their local bars. Also when at the Eco Lodge in the Amazon visit... (more)Clive Pagett
From £4500 including UK flights
Khao Sok tour, three days, Thailand
Swimming off the rafthouses was lovely. Having kayaks available to use was excellent. The meals served on the rafthouses were some of the best food we encountered in Thailand. (more)Jayne Simmons
Great. Really well organised, everything happened as advertised. The timing of everything was great, so there was time for relaxing/doing our own thing in between scheduled activities. Staff were really friendly and helpful, but not 'in your face'. (more)Irene Evison
It was all excellent but I think I liked the tubing the most. The beautiful bathrooms at Arts was also memorable. (more)Jennie Agustin
From £100 - £300 excluding flights
Madagascar wildlife tour
Absolutely excellent , very well organised by the travel company, with very few hitches considering the remoteness and difficulty of travelling around. Lovely local guide. Challenging as it was my first trip like this, with a great deal of walking in some tough terrain. Felt invigorated by being motivated by the guide to keep going (more)Jennifer pinder
Seeing a largish hognose snake slither across the path and under the balcony of the chalet I was staying at. It was the first time I've ever seen a snake in the wild...Our guide was excellent and very informative & enthusiastic. (more)Sara Page
From £2195 excluding flights
Algonquin Park tours in Canada, canoeing & moose
Memorable parts? Gentle paddling during the day enjoying incredibly vast skies, calm blue water and forests of white pines. And lying back on sun-warmed rocks in the evening watching the Milky Way emerge and listening to the loons calling across the lakes. Learning how to track animals, brew pine needle tea, make rope out of bark, start a fire in the rain and read weather patterns. Tips? The camp sites are simply a natural clearing in the forest near the water, with some rocks for... (more)Jane Lucken
From CA $525 - CA $1200 excluding flights
Indonesia holidays, tailor made, Orangutans & Komodo dragons
Fantastic! It was incredible to have everything pre-arranged and all the logistics sorted out for us, so relaxing and just what we needed after a hectic wedding! Most memorable was staying with the Iban tribe and seeing the orangutans in Sarawak, and Borobudur at sunset in Java. (more)Portia Lloyd
Really brilliant - it was our honeymoon and we really had a fabulous time. It was so well organised by the operator which took a lot of the stress out of travelling which was exactly what we needed with such a complicated itinerary. The hotels we stayed in were second to none - really fabulous and we were spoilt rotten! (more)Erin Bunting
Seeing the orang-utans at Tanjung Puting National Park was the highlight, followed closely by the couple of days spent on board the boat to Komodo Island. The orang-utans were a joy to watch and we felt privileged to see these animals in their natural habitat. (more)Kathryn White
From £3785 including UK flights
Nature and wildlife holiday in Thailand
The most memorable part was the time with elephants!....Amazing! (more)Lisa Hele
It was amazing - I hesitate to use any clichés, but we had some unique and extremely memorable experiences. A great introduction to the country. (more)Natasha Lokhun
It has totally changed my perspective on how I can holiday, enjoy myself and yet provide genuine, positive, tangible support on the ground. The tour operator I used were fantastic throughout and particularly when I was away. (more)Michael Anderson
From £1200 - £1900 including UK flights

Seeing green turtles laying eggs & watching them hatch was the most memorable part of the holiday. (more)Michael Murphy
Seeing the rare Quetzal bird was exciting, but it was all memorable...Excellent. (more)J. Suzanne Hula
Most memorable? Seeing the baby turtles in Tortuguero National Park... I had a wonderful experience with a very well trained, and experienced, guide. The communication was excellent. (more)Simon Corbally

From £2280 - £2510 excluding flights
Volunteering with rescued chimps in Spain
Fantastic. I'm going to return again someday for sure! From the warm and friendly greeting from the team and volunteers to meeting the chimpanzees for the first time. I enjoyed every minute of every task and the local area is also stunning. (more)HELEN MULRY
One of my better decisions! Lovely people doing a wonderful job with great animals and I felt very privileged. I want to return! (more)Kathryn Dowling
We learnt so much about primates - how they live, their relationships and hierarchies and how much time, effort and care is required from the wonderful staff, who work there, to ensure the primates now have the lives they deserve...A brilliant experience that I would recommend to all (more)Beth Kilsby-Macnab
From €240 - €440 excluding flights
Thailand wildlife & beach holiday
It was all memorable and all locations were different. That was the purpose of booking a variety of areas. That said, we went to see wildlife and this criteria was mostly ticked and very memorable. (more)Jan Jupp
Volunteering at the orphanage - it was just an unforgettable experience, there are no words to describe it...you have to live it!! The kids are amazing and I will miss them so much!!! (more)Cristina Piccolo
Visiting Chew Lorn Lake, swimming there, staying in the raft houses, and walking in the nearby forest were the highlights. (more)Stephanie Bunt
From £1162 excluding flights
Kangaroo Island tours, 3 days 2 nights
Kangaroo Island was a very pleasant surprise. We enjoyed getting down close to a very windy and wild Southern Ocean, and walking on the beach at Sea Bay up close with the sea lions was a real highlight. But then again so was watching Koalas in the trees, and a walk out to the Remarkable rocks (these really are pretty remarkable when you get up close - the hardest granite you could possibly imagine smoothed like butter into strange shape over millions of years by the wind). We bought some of... (more)Justin Francis
From AU $2609 - AU $3725 excluding flights
Bolivian Amazon wildlife tour
Memorable parts? Hard to pick, liked both the pampas and the rain forest equally Tips? A list of items to take on the trip before they arrive in Bolivia Local benefits? Yes, I did. Overall rating? A lovely experience. The pampas had lots of animals, so close and crowded together. I could see all of them. My guide at Bala Lodge was great. He really took the time to help us see what we were experiencing. I had a lovely trip mate so that worked out well for me The... (more)Donna Schumacher
