Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

I experienced 2 very different, and 2 very amazing areas in one trip. My guide was incredible with her knowledge of the wildlife, and also her organisational skills, making everyone feel at ease. I have been to the Amazon a few times before, but this was by far, the best experience ever.

I have travelled with Naturetrek 12 times now, and this was probably the best tour I have ever done. Their guide was incredible, the accommodation, was excellent, and everything ran smoothly.

Before I went, I was a bit concerned that the conservancy would be fenced-in...rather as in parts of South Africa...so that we would just be seeing the same animals ...but in a different order every day...However, there were few fences between bordering conservancies...so that wildlife could move freely from one to another...hence we could see a very wide range of Laikipia wildlife Great support from Naturetrek after the 2 hour flight delay...causing us to miss the connecting Safarilink flight,,,even more so from the local agents, Chameleon Tours... in sorting out a vehicle & driver to take us from Nairobi to Nanyuki airport,..where we were picked up by El Karama guide... Th short rains hadn't finished (end of Jan 25)... however, the cooler, wetter weather encouraged a lot of usually nocturnal animals to show themselves...I was amazed to see Striped hyena, Aardwolf and Bat Eared Foxes out and about during the middle of the day... There were also other rarities like Grevys Zebra...as well as a jackal den with 5 pups...who we avidly followed over the 6 days of our stay. The food was very tasty and well-presented... I ate far too much...although, it was basically "take it or leave it" menu... Our last night was at Hemingways, Nairobi: the suite was enormous and had a great view over the pleasant gardens...the food was excellent...shame we were only there for less than a day.

As mentioned, we had a 2 hour flight delay...Naturetrek contacted us before we had even realised...and sorted out with Chameleon Tours (the operator) a car to drive us ...which unfortunately took 5 hours...with some very heavy traffic in Nairobi

this was a tailor-made tour taking us to three spectacular locations in the south of Costa Rica to see some of the abundant wildlife and vegetation in this area. This complemented the two-week hiking and wildlife tour we had just enjoyed in the north and central areas of the country. We had a number of outings with birding guides, including a very special night tour, and saw a good number of birds, mammals and reptiles.

Their website is very informative.

A fantastic tour of this interesting country visiting a wide range of habitats and seeing some wonderful birds thanks to the skill and expertise of the knowledgeable guides.

Naturetrek always deliver a great wildlife trip.

El Karama is a hidden gem, and Laikipia is best described as Maasai Mara without the crowds. The variety of wildlife is exceptional for just 20 square miles. Worth the money.

Ive been using Naturetrek for nearly 10 years now, for both group tours and tailormade. On this trip the flight was 2 hours late, so we missed our connection in Nairobi. Alternative transport was arranged without problem. Another time our local airline was grounded, again the revised flight schedule was organised perfectly.

Excellent birding

Everything was included

Great trip to Thailand, with a brilliant local guide, who knew everything about the birds - where to see them, their calls, their different English names depending on the bird book, their Latin names.

Naturetrek provided a great service, answering any questions I had. The trip ran smoothly from booking right through to landing back in the UK.

Wildife trip to a variety of habitats in Ecuador

We have travelled many times (>12) with Naturetrek on a big variety of wildlife trips, reusing them repeatedly because they are very reliable on well-researched tours.

Wildlife & Ancient Mayan ruins. Walking, minibus, boats, snorkeling . Excellent guide

Naturetrek have expert guides and use good comfortable hotels

Interesting and varied itinerary which delivered a wonderful experience of the birds and mammals of Belize and Tikel. It also incorporated a cultural slant with Mayan temples.
