The most exciting part of the holiday was seeing the Mountain Gorillas in their natural environment at very close hand - literally right next to them when they decided the quickest way to the next part of the forest was to walk right through our small group. (more)

Brilliant! It’s exactly what a lot of women need during stressful times and it’s a fantastic environment to make friends and support other people.

For solo travellers or family adventurers, small group holidays are an excellent way to see any country. We sent Jerrine, one of our helpdesk experts, on a group adventure in India to see first hand what a group holiday is all about. "Having always travelled independently on my globe trekking adventures I was curious to see how a small group adventure would compare. India has always been high on my must-do places to visit so I was delighted to take up the challenge. Here´s a little bit about my adventures and what a small group holiday is really like... Always happy when the flight is over, but usually apprehensive about tackling the language barriers and over-zealous taxi drivers I was more than happy to be greeted with a smile by an Exodus representative. I was soon whisked off to the hotel where I met what was to be my new family for the next 8 days. .
