Every aspect of the trip more than fulfilled my expectations, and the quality of the leadership and administration was first-rate.
Hiking up Kirrigalpottha was memorable, and I loved some the colonial accommodation such as Hotel Suisse and especially Bandarawela Hotel.
Quite exceptional. Excellent in every way. My especial thanks for his extra efforts on my behalf to provide Gluten-free food options wherever possible.
I was lucky enough to join this trip as an Exodus staff member, and enjoyed very minute! There were areas where other tourists were few and far between, and whilst I was prepared for beautiful deserts, the mountains were stunning. We were able to eat amazing meals for less than £2, and camping under the stars was unreal.
The gorgeous desert resort set right in the dunes.
Qais was a very experienced leader with a wealth of knowledge.
Both the deserts and mountains can get pretty cold at night (I travelled in January).
The idea is sound – visiting four parks maximises the chance of seeing a good variety of wildlife.
However the trip notes seriously under state the terrible condition of the roads and therefore the time it takes to make the transfers. We spent more time on the road between parks than we did on game drives.
The driving is terrifying.
The whole trip felt rushed, as soon as we arrived at a park we were hurried into a meal and then straight out in the vehicle again. There was no time to relax or make use of the facilities in the lodges (which were lovely.)
The behaviour of the guides in the parks was shocking to me. There is a 5 vehicles per animal rule but whenever there was a big cat there were a crowd of 30 or more, all jostling for position and hounding the animals if they moved off. At one point I thought they had run over a chetah. Our driver also broke the no driving off road and no speeding rules. I felt ashamed to be part of it.
We were present when a solo lioness challenged a leopard in a tree and stole her kill.
Alex was very knowledgeable but didn't offer up much information without being asked. His driving was frightening.
Think very carefully about this one. And if you have any back problems or issues with motion sickness do not do it.
We’d like to thank Claire for taking the time to leave a candid review of her experience on this trip, though it’s a matter of real regret that she was disappointed by several aspects.
We feel we accurately portray the nature of the roads in Kenya, as we state in the trip notes that “There are some long drives over rough roads on this trip, which allow us to get into the wilds of Kenya.” We’re sorry that, regardless, Claire found the drives were more demanding than she’d anticipated.
It was concerning to read about Claire’s impression of the driving on this trip. Our drivers are experienced in driving on Kenyan roads, and in some instances need to maintain a certain speed to navigate the corrugated sections of road more stably. Nevertheless, we have spoken to our local team about this and do not expect to see similar comments about the driving from future clients going forward.
We also understand that a rare sighting in the park Claire mentions meant that an exception was made to the “5 vehicle only” rule by park authorities, though it is a shame to learn that Claire felt the number and pushiness of vehicles soured the experience for her.
Finally, with regards to the itinerary, we find that in general our customers are happy with the pace of the trip, but we are looking at tweaking certain days on future departures to reduce the amount of travelling, as we appreciate this was a drawback for Claire.

The guide was great and gave a good balance of being informative without being overwhelming. Always perky, which kept our spirits up – especially on the early mornings.
Visiting the temples the valley the kings. The people were lovely. We had a great group!!
Sayed was excellent
All round excellent holiday
The Exodus team accompanying us on the tour where first class. Great organisation, friendly, very helpful and great fun to be with
Such a pleasant guy, good fun, excellent local knowledge and superb planning skills
Everything about the trip was spectacular; Miguel (our guide), the country (Chile), the excursions, the weather.
The highlights for me were the hike in Torre del Paine in Patagonia and the hike on Osorno volcano.
Miguel was exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable. Extremely personable. Excellent organizational skills.
This has been an amazing trip, can’t recommend it enough, especially if this is your first trip to India, it’s a great introduction to get your bearings. Our trip was nine days and we covered a large geographical area in a relatively short space of time to see the sights in Delhi, Jaipur, Ranthamborne, Agra and Varanasi. To do this we travelled in a private minibus which was really comfortable and also took the public train to Varanasi and Delhi, the train was also really comfortable, spacious and clean , we also had a couple of small boat trips along the Ganges which were really special, so there was a good mix of transport it wasn’t all minibus. The sights you see on this trip are stunning, and there are just so many to see. This is a busy trip but that’s the beauty of it, you will get to see so much. The hotels we stayed in were of varying standards but mostly very good: Jaipur, Agra, Ranthamborne and Varanasi Hotels were all great and the breakfasts and evening meals in those hotels were really very good indeed. We were taken to some fabulous restaurants to eat in the evenings and the food everywhere we went was delicious and we didn’t worry about what we were eating as every place we ate at had been vetted by our excellent tour guide leader. The group we travelled with were so much fun, we all became good friends by the end.
The Taj Mahal was impressive, it really is as beautiful as it looks in pictures but is so iconic you can't believe you are there! The chance to cook an Indian meal with a family was really special, the couple were so warm and welcoming and we made great food that we all got to eat together after. The visit to a Hindu Temple to watch a devotional ceremony was so uplifting and will stay with me forever. My favourite place was Varanasi, there is such a great buzz of energy here, watching the world go by on the Ganges was extra special.
Have to say a great big thank you to our Group Leader Manu who was absolutely excellent at his job. He took great care of us all on this trip. He was always warm, friendly, approachable, happy to answer any questions and help with anything at all during the trip. He was great at keeping us all together and getting us everywhere in good time, which everyone appreciated and he really listened well to meet the needs of the group. Communication was excellent, we were always told what was happening and what to expect next and how to prepare for things we were going to do in advance.
I felt totally safe on this trip, and really well looked after, the group tour makes sightseeing so much easier, especially when trying to do shopping or visiting really busy places. I would definitely travel again with exodus, and after seeing many solo travellers in our group, I would have no problem travelling solo with exodus either.
The tour guide and driver made me feel very safe.
Visiting the tea plantation.
Biju is an excellent ambassador for Exodus and his country. He is very passionate sharing his culture. He was also great at dealing with guests who fallen ill and needed hospital treatment. He was always polite. He also made sure the trips ran as smoothly as possible. He's a real credit.
You have to try it! I loved the cosy wooden chalet nested in snowy landscapes, trying new activities with the group and by myself, the tasty salmon soup, sitting by the fireplace in the evening, and the variety of optional activities – especially the ice swimming/sauna experience and the Riisitunturi snowshoeing day. Out of this world!
Standing on a frozen lake at night and being lucky enough to witness the Northern lights crossing the sky. Walking in the forest and enjoying the silence, just hearing the crisp sound of snow under my feet.
Joonas was the best. Super friendly and approachable, very helpful to explain the snowshoeing and cross country skiing techniques and to book optional activities, very knowledgeable about the area and its fauna (was always looking for animal tracks!).
Just go for it, you won't regret it. It's all it promises and more. Full of nice surprises as well, I won't say more!
I highly recommend this trip for anyone who loves Morocco and Moroccan culture. Our guide, Aman, was fantastic, very well organised and instrumental in creating a wonderful experience for the whole group. My only advice would be that if you travel in January, be sure to wrap up as north Morocco can be quite chilly. That said, despite the cold, a fabulous time was had by all.
Our guide Aman, as well as all the lovely places we visited.
