Memorable parts? Snorkelling in the reefs, staying on islands that were not touristic and having heaps of fun with my guide Kokko Tips? Be prepared to spend time chilling out in the afternoons as it is hot.

Memorable parts? Teaching a class of Nepali 12 year olds. Tips? Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, be prepared to accept and enjoy the concept of difference - and - wear a mask on your long distance flights, wish I had. I would also suggest that you don't try to pack too much into your stay - it's too easy to look at everything, but see nothing, because you can't take it all in. Be careful not to go home with loads of photographs but no memories, Nepal is too magic... (more)Deborah English

It is difficult to decide the most memorable, as there were many wonderful parts. Learning about the Nepalese culture as well as exploring the beautiful nature of Nepal were equally amazing. (more)Marija Naumoska

Most memorable would be seeing the colourful flags and rolling the prayer wheels at Swayambhunath, the Monkey Temple, in Kathmandu. From this vantage point there is also a fabulous view of the city.

Memorable parts? We did not do a 12 day highlights holiday. Instead we contacted the holiday provider direct and with them planned a 19 day trip. See below for views on this process. As far as memorable experiences, the list is endless. Perito Moreno glacier was amazing to see and hear - it really is blue in parts, and it was well worth paying extra to do the mini-trek. A great experience. So was horse-riding with a gaucho. Hiring a car and doing a 4 night circular tour from Salta was great.... (more)Ro Lynam

As a keen cyclist who likes to be challenged and also, as a solo traveller, I rate this holiday highly - it reminds you how joyous cycling can be! (more)Carol Gray

Book it now and be ready to challenge yourself, create memories and have fun! (more)sue bound

Memorable parts? Reaching the summit of Toubkal was a very rewarding experience, it had been a tough climb, having never used crampons before, but our guide Omar was excellent he always encouraged us and allowed me to dictate the pace- I was the slowest member of the party! Haggling in the souks was also fun, we did not find the sellers aggressive or pushy as they are sometimes described. Tips? Be prepared for long days of walking, you need to have stamina, although the altitude... (more)Deirdre Forde

We saw so many wonderful animals and he struck such a perfect balance between giving us the best experience possible and respecting the animals. Tips? To request Musa! Local benefits? Yes, Kenyan owned and operated. Also our guide said he was very well treated by his boss and the company. We also made stops at locally owned and operated souvenir places but were not pressured to buy. The only change I would make is... (more)Laura Brinn Cruser

Memorable parts? We have so many incredible memories from our trip: however, being so close to lions and seeing them out hunting was definitely a highlight, along with seeing the Masai Warriors perform their 'jumping dance'! Tips? Remember to pack your own binoculars! We didn't think to take our own but were fortunate that we were able to share with other people in our jeep. There are times that you are driving and there are no animals in sight, it is the anticipation of what you... (more)Gayle Lindsay

Safari at Uda Walawe National Park was the most memorable moment. (more)Eleni Josephides

Memorable parts? It was all great. I loved the Masai Mara from the hot-air balloon, the rhinos up close and personal in Uganda and the gorilla tracking experience. Tips? Be ready for long transfers and enjoy the road and its wonderful landscapes Local benefits? Definitely yes, the company is local and so are all the people working in it and the lodges are locally owned. The park fees are used for conservation projects; the rhyno sanctuary in particular is a project to reintroduce... (more)Laura Palmucci

Memorable parts? So many highlights: tango in Buenos Aires, the unforgettable Iguazu Falls; but for me Patagonia and particularly the Perito Merino glacier was the outstanding memory of the trip. Nature in raw, exquisite and awe-inspiring beauty: simply stunning. Tips? You do need to pack for different weather conditions but even so do try to pack lightly so you still have space for all the things you will want to buy whilst you are there. Do consider also going to other parts... (more)Nicola Lindsey
