WILDLIFE & WILDERNESS OF BOTSWANA

Lots of long dusty journeys, but necessary to get to the game parks. Wildlife quite spectacular when seen. Camping out in the wild great fun, including the back ground noises, followed up with the spoor marks around the camp area the next morning.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the Leopards. We saw a Warthog up in a tree, & then with difficulty spotted the male Leopard, we then spotted another male Leopard prowling around under this tree hoping a few morsels would drop down.We had just left Khwai village & heard a racket from a small herd of Impala, my husband looked around to spot a female Leopard, who then "allowed" us to take some photos before leaving as there was now no chance of her hunting down a meal.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sam was always cheerful even when our vehicle came to an abrupt & terminal halt, some 30km from our camp for that night. He & the other guys always looked immaculate, I have no idea how they managed to do so, as I managed to look very dusty just sitting in the truck being driven around.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The entry fee to Victoria Falls needs to paid in local currency (Kwatcha) not dollars, & this has been so since July 2012. It is difficult to get local currency even in Livingstone the only useable ATM had long queues although the Barclay bank readily changed sterling it closed at 11.30am on our Saturday visit. One of the best ways at get local currency at the campsite was to pay in sterling and then the change willl be in local.Make sure you have enough Pula for the Chobe river cruise (don't miss out on this well worth going on). When we were there the credit card machine was a bit hit & miss, they wouldn't take Sterling/Dollars

DOLOMITES, LAKE GARDA & VENICE RIDE

This was a well organized event, with two very conscientious leaders. There were some slip ups, but nothing serious, and not the fault of the leaders. One was having no hotel in Trento when we arrived, but they found a very good one nearby before too long.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of the last hill!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Personable, organized, and spoke English well. Michele was an inspiration.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring better rain gear.

CARPATHIAN CULTURE AND WILDLIFE

We had a wonderful holiday! The scenery was beautiful and we were made very welcome by Katerina at the guest house and Cosmin, our guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many moments, but I will always remember seeing the bears when we walking to the bear hide. Three bears were coming down the hill towards the hide and I didn't know whether to be worried or not! It was also very interesting to see the way the shepherds still lived the way they have for generations. The scenery was spectacular and provided many 'Heidi' moments!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Cosmin was a brilliant guide. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. He even found us a tearoom when we least expected it!

Advice for Potential Travellers

We found the walking fairly challenging at times, especially as the weather was very hot. However, it was well worth the effort. Just don't believe Katerina or Cosmin when they say you are 'almost there', there is still a long way to go!

CORSICAN MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES

Excellent holiday – spectacular scenery, good company, friendly welcoming hotel with good food, skilled group leader.

Most Inspirational Moment

The view from the top of the hill on the last day - and sense of achievement in getting there ! Being able to manage a couple of walks that were beyond our comfort zone.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very skilled and knowledgeable, taught us a lot about walking in difficult terrain and using walking poles. Adjusted to poor weather in first few days and offered an alternative additional walk on rest day because one walk had to be discontinued. He inspired confidence and was generally friendly, helpful and informative, using his language skills well with the group and local people. If there was one minor issue, occasionally he could come across as a bit brusque.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring walking poles - we found them very useful on the steeper terrain.

ESSENTIAL PERU

Absolutely fantastic but hectic holiday. This is definately the best way to see what Peru has to offer – you will not be disappointed in any way

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspirational moment of the trip for me was visiting Machu Picchu, its something I've always wanted to see and it for me lived up to my expectations and beyond. Going back on the 2nd day and seeing the sunrise over Machu Picchu was awesome. The trip to Cuzco was wonderful and the trip to Colca Canyon to view the Condors soaring above you so gracefully was breathtaking

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our Group Leader Mr Fabrizzio Cornejo was excellent and a real credit to you. His knowledge and expertise made my trip to Peru unforgetable and he was very mindful of the whole group at all times

Advice for Potential Travellers

Yes - listen to the group leader when he/she gives you advice, especially where preventing altitude sickness is concerned. If they say drink plenty of water, then drink plenty of water. Other than that justenjoy the whole experience of Peru - you will not be disappointed in any way

MT TOUBKAL CLIMB

An excellent value for money trip in the beautiful Atlas mountains. A perfect combination between culture and adventure.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of Mount Toubkal. At 4,167m, it isn't a small hill. It was very cold and windy on the aproach to the top but once we got to the summit, the weather was warm and sunny. Arriving back into the heat, hussle and bussle of Marrakech was a great juxtaposition to the cool air and slow pace of life in the Atlas.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was a man of few words at the beggining but after a couple of days he was the jocker in the pack. We always felt very safe with him and he knew the answer to every question.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a small pillow for the nights camping.

MONT BLANC CIRCUIT - Camping

An amazing two week alpine hiking experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hard work of uphill climbs was more than rewarded by stunning mountain, glacier and valley vistas, sometimes surrounded by clouds.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very professional leader whose extensive experience in the alps made the trip truly great.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Working on your fitness before the trip will make a difference. Take lots of photos!

WALKING IN TUSCANY

I have been on a few Exodus trips and this one did not disappoint. Good variety of walks, lovely scenery with a knowledgeable guide. Mama’s cooking was plentiful and delicious. So were the picnic lunches.

Most Inspirational Moment

Views from the tops of the mountains were stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz (accompanied by Elvis the dog) was an excellent leader, helpful, knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of the group.

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

We wanted to see this area of Italy with our two teenage boys and we had a fantastic guide, great family run hotel and superb food.

Most Inspirational Moment

Eduardo makes this trip so special because he knows the area so well, our trip to Capri was amazing and the walk of the God's was stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eduardo made sure we saw the best of everything on the trip and really looked after us very well. We also had an extra week in Italy, and during that time he made suggestions of where to go, where to eat and sorted out bus transfers for us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you have time whilst waiting for the transfer back on the bus from one of the boat trips, pop into Amalfi town and have a glass of prosecco and watch the sun go down on the Cathedral.

A WEEK IN JORDAN

This was such a perfect holiday. I saw everything I wanted to see in Jordan and more.

Most Inspirational Moment

Petra had to be the highlight, but looking out from Mount Nebo and swimming in the Dead Sea were amazing too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was simply fantastic. Thoughtful, intelligent and passionate about introducing us to his country. He struck an excellent balance between taking us round as a group and giving us time to explore separately.
