Most memorable? Diving with a dozen turtles off the coast of Sipadan and visiting the local villagers of Mabul. And then of course to see wild Orangutans in their natural environment. 
(more)On leaving our room at Serendip which led out straight onto the front veranda... we saw that the garden was full of fireflies. We were then led to our table out the back by the plunge pool where we would be eating dinner. The manager had arranged and lit dozens of tea lights around the garden. Priceless.
(more)We saw monkeys in the hotel grouse, sloth and of course the scarlet macaws. We had never been to a rainforest before and could not believe how green it was. All the places we stayed at were interesting and different. (more)
One of the best hoildays we've had. A highlight was Seeing a rhinoceros beetle the size of a hamster! (more)Most memorable? Probably Iguacu. Absolutely amazing falls and the hotel was lovely. However all the venues were excellent. (more)All days and trip were memorable, but above all watching elephants crossing the river 30 metres away from us having lunch in Old Mondoro was the most. We are definitely satisfied. (more)It was our first visit to Africa. I can now understand why so many people have a love affair with Africa! It is impossible vast and breathtaking. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a surprising land of contrasts. (more)
There are very many wonderful bits to the holiday. I particularly enjoyed my time in Lesotho and the town tour there and the township tour in Oudtshoorn. I was very thrilled by the countryside. (more)Too many to mention but the safari parts of the holiday were certainly the highlight....Absolutely life changing - the most superb family holiday.

Excellent! It was organised really well and our guide, Chris, was wonderful... I cannot isolate just one memorable or exciting part of the holiday - every day my husband and I experienced something amazing!... We will never forget any of it. (more)
The accommodation was the most luxurious, most welcoming, most helpful place we have ever stayed in; and the walks through the tea estate with idyllic views of the reservoir and surrounding hills, both relaxing and inspiring.

Madagascar proved such an outstanding destination that it almost seems unfair to single out particular highlights...Ace. We loved it from first to last. We covered a great deal of ground and saw so much for the first time.

The most memorable parts were the Orang'utans at Semengohh, and staying with the Iban tribe at their lodge. (more)
Pangkor Laut Island was just perfect. Not cheap but worth it, the resort and staff were absolutely fantastic, definitely a 5 star location. (more)The Koh Sok National Park trip with the kayaking company was truly amazing. Climbed a waterfall, saw a wild baby elephant and heard the singing gibbons. Lived like the locals and ate plenty of wholesome Thai food. No frills but no illnesses either! (more)
It's no surprise that the most fantastic part of the trip was being close to the animals without bars between us. We visited amazing creatures in their "homes" without harming their surroundings. (more)Sighting lemurs was most memorable... On a scale of 10, I'd say 8.5. The tour leader and driver was good. It was exciting to see the lemurs and other animals in their actual habitat.
