An enjoyable African adventure – to experience the African sunrises and sunsets in the national parks was amazing. Excellent campfire food and wonderful morning and evening game drives with fantastic animal encounters.

Brian was very knowledgeable on the locations, animals and flora during the entire trip. He was helpful with daily briefings and organising additional excursions.
Everything was well thought out and efficient, from waking up, getting breakfast, packing up the tents and making lunch to getting out on the trail and experiencing the Alps with an excellent guide and a great group of people to enjoy with.
Most Inspirational Moment
Honestly, our group got along really well and pretty quickly, which I highly enjoyed as it made the experience so much better. The outstanding views throughout the entire trip were without a doubt a highlighted in enough itself, especially the campsites which had incredible views making it a superb place to relax after a long, but amazing day on the trail.

Honestly, I thought Rocia was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the terrain. She was very sociable and enthusiastic, going out of the way to tell us about specific plants and wildlife of the Alps. I highly enjoyed her company I thought she made the trip 100% better.
An excellent itinerary covering a wide variety of habitats and environments perfect for nature lovers

Fantastic, the trip ran like a well oiled machine, super organised, he made sure we all had the necessary info about the programme without overloading us, and gave us a lot of info on the various places we visited. Very sociable, warm and friendly. He also offered us lots of opportunities to walk with him in the early mornings looking for wildlife to make the most of our time in each area.
The a countries are amazing. There was a great variety of stops and Andrew was a great guide.

Felt we could trust the guides from the moment they met us at the airport. SUPERB at their many roles – safe guiding, informative on many topics, well managed packed itinerary, great chefs, good camaraderie. Namibia is a beautiful country and they shared it with real care.

We felt we could trust Shane with the way he carried himself, presented himself and conducted himself throughout.
I was attracted to this trip in large part because it promised a fair bit of scrambling, and it did not disappoint (see other reviewers comments). Great fun. The expectation of minimal crowds was also an attraction, and that did not disappoint either. Other highlights including seeing a bear in the wild and the food and hospitality at Villa Hermani. Finally, our guide, Sebi, was outstanding — a capable guy who was also great company.
Most Inspirational Moment
Perhaps the most inspirational aspect of the trip to me was the general vibe of place. There seemed a palpable sense of possibility now that the country has been released from its repressive past.
Thoughts on Group Leader
As already mentioned, Sebi was outstanding. On some days Leo joined as a second guide. I enjoyed hanging in the back with him and botanizing, as he was well versed in the area's natural history.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I think the Trip Notes and other reviewers' comments do a pretty good job of advising travelers. Read them and take note.
Great trip in Andalucía! As an Exodus employee, I really enjoyed this itinerary. It offered a wonderful balance of walking through quiet olive groves and exploring some of the region’s more vibrant, well-known cities.
The food was excellent every evening, and the accommodations were comfortable and welcoming. Having access to a pool at the end of each day’s walk was especially relaxing and made the experience even more enjoyable.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hiking in the Grazalema Natural Park , we got to see an Ibex.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michael was excellent—very accommodating and always attentive to the group's needs. He made our safety a priority throughout the trip. Since I traveled during the hot summer months, he ensured we started our walks early each day to stay ahead of the heat, which made the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring lots of water bottles to refill, it gets hot as the day goes on, Bring hiking boots and hiking poles if you use them.
I have done a number of treks and Tour du Mont Blanc has to be one of the best. The trip was well organised and a lot of thought had gone into the length of the walking days and transport. The walking guide was brilliant – very knowledgeable and supportive and interacted well with everyone. The chef was fantastic and prepared wonderful meals which were varied and high quality.
Most Inspirational Moment
The amazing views, the great food, the people on the trip and the fantastic guide and chef.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hristian was knowledgeable and very supportive of the whole group. He made time to speak to everyone and if someone was struggling he was there to help. He gave us lots of relevant information about the history and geography of the area. He was good fun and socialised with everyone.
Superb itinerary and route with many varied interests catered for. Good length of trip. Good transport. Bob was an absolutely brilliant guide. He brought history to life with his narrative and personal stories.

The guided city tours were excellent. Lots of knowledge from all the guides and well presented. Trakai Castle was also a stand-out site.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Bob was excellent. He was easy to understand, extremely knowledgeable and brought a personal touch to the narratives which was great. He was approachable, always available if needed and very helpful. He always made sure that everyone was happy with what was happening and that everyone knew exactly what to expect and what to do. Absolutely wonderful!
