Wildlife Encounters in The Americas: Guyana - Land Of The Giants

Essential Information

Trip Profile

11 day expedition from Georgetown using a variety of transport including light aircraft, canoe, specially adapted 4WD truck and motorboat.

We stay in a variety of accommodation, ranging from comfortable historic properties in Georgetown to simple and remote rainforest lodges.

Accommodation

2 nights hotels and 8 nights lodges.

Food

9 breakfasts, 9 lunches and 8 dinners.

Reality Check

Although we stay in comfortable accommodation throughout, you should note that the majority of the trip takes place in remote areas with little access to luxuries. These areas are difficult to reach, and so you should be prepared for bumpy drives on dirt roads and flights on small planes.

Guyana is often hot and humid, particularly in the interior, and although we have planned this trip to fall outside the main rainy season it may be necessary to change the itinerary in case of bad weather.

Normal group size and age

Normally min. 5, max. 12, plus leader and appropriate local guides. Minimum age 18.

Icons explained

The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together. All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please see our Solo Departures page.

Requires a spirit of adventure and some fitness, as the trip may involve more activities or longer journeys.

Exodus is always looking to improve our current itineraries and to offer something different. With many new trips this year, there is something unique and different to try every year.

Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.

Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.
