Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

A wildlife trip to British Columbia with a particular focus on bears, whales, otters and birds

Naturetrek is a specialist wildlife company with whom I have traveled on several occasions. I have always been more than happy with Naturetrek holidays. Their guides are excellent and they offer better wildlife opportunities than more general travel companies.

Autumn bird migration over the Straits of Gibraltar, plus a boat trip seeing sperm whales and a pod of bottle nose dolphins cavorting around our vessel. Wonderful place to stay at Huerta Grande and brilliant guides.

Naturetrek have taken us to some outstanding places around the world, organisation has always been first class from start to finish, including accommodating special requests.

A two week tour from the Cape to Namaqua to see the floral carpet, birdwatch and see other wildlife. In spite of the lack of rain the flowers were still quite breathtaking. Our brilliant guides from Lawson's and our Naturetrek botanist David showed us something new and interesting every day. In the evenings they were good company and introduced us to South African cuisine... in the daytime...lots of cake. A great "spot" of a band of meerkats seeing off intruders was one of the late highlights of the tour for me....and the fabulous proteas!

I have travelled with Naturetrek for some years and have already booked two holidays with them for 2020. They provide excellent guides, good accommodation and holidays you can have confidence that you will enjoy.

Having had two previous safari holidays in Africa, this was a first for me camping amongst the animals. It was a magic moment waking in the night to see and hear an elephant grazing and then sleeping only some 15 feet away from our tent. On another occasion, returning to the camp for lunch we wee greeted by a herd of elephants in the river some 20 feet from our camp- another magic moment. on another occasion we were halted on the track by an elephant grazing on trees some 10 feet from our vehicle and we all watched in awe as he ate before eventually moving off some 15 minutes later. Our guide was excellent at tracking and we saw leopard and her cub at a kill and on another occasion a pride of lions at a Cape Buffalo kill. The catering was excellent with food prepared over an open fire and the tents roomy and the camp beds comfortable. We have many happy memories and thousands of photos of this wonderful week in the bush in Botswana.

The British organisers were Naturetrek and the local safari operator was Letaka. Our guide was a freelance called Ace and he really was ace at finding the animals.he had a real knowledge of their habits and was a staunch conservationist.

Bird watching in Andalusia with Niki and Simon was a magical experience. Their enthusiasm and knowledge were catching. The trip exceeded my expectations. Everything was so well planned. The food was good. The accommodation was comfortable. The weather was perfect for birdwatching and we were treated to some very rare sightings. All in all an unforgettable experience.

Superb organisation. Excellent choice of guides on this trip. Everything was brilliant.

wonderful chance to go to different parts of Alderney and see range of wildlife and get to know the island

efficient and staff very pleasant

I was hoping to see large numbers of raptors on their Autumn migration and was not disappointed ! We saw 17 raptor species with good numbers of Booted Eagles , honey buzzards , short toed eagles and black kites ; also plenty of white and black storks - a real wildlife spectacle . The boat trip to see long finned pilot whales and dolphins was also very good .

Naturetrek are a top quality Wildlife tour operator , would definitely travel with them again .

The best ever bucket list experience with the mist knowledgable and experienced guide called ‘Ace’ - he brought Botswana alive and was the icing on the cake tovan sltogethet amazing experience

Attention to detail is brilliant especially when things go wrong ie BA striking! Our flights were sorted immediately and seamlessly without giving us any worries. We would not travel with any other operator.

I wanted to see whales, black bears, grizzlies and with with any luck, a spirit beat. We were rewarded with all this plus. I cannot praise Naturetrek enough for providing me with such a fantastic time. The boat crew of captain, mate, chef and naturalist expert were worth their weight in gold and our Naturetrek guide was a wealth of knowledge. What more can I say than well done Naturetrek.

Naturetrek were always prompt at responding to any queries I had prior to the trip and despite the problems caused by the BA strike, managed to reebok alternative flight. I would recommend Naturetrek as a top class tour operator

A fantastic few days witnessing migration at the best place to view it in Spain

Very good
