Wildlife Trails Traveller Reviews

The trip was really tremendous and everything that we hoped it would be. Thank you Allan and Bee for putting it together for us.

Herbert in particular was a star and is a great ambassador for Uganda and its wildlife and heritage. Our highlight had to be the second gorilla trek during which two babies play-wrestled just in front of us for at least 20 minutes; it was if they were deliberately entertaining us. The lodges were perfect really and food excellent. We didn’t want to move on from each one.

We've been to central India may times. This time we went to Pench, Kanha & Bandhavgarh National Parks. All provided wonderful wildlife sightings. In all cases our naturalists (who drove us as well), from Jamtara, Kanha Jungle Lodge & Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge respectively, were outstanding. They always strive to do their best for you. We worked in partnership with Allan Blanchard, the owner of Wildlife Trails, to construct our itinerary, as we usually do, staying in lodges we've tried and tested many times. We are well looked after by those lodges, like we are family. Nothing is too much trouble. Transport between each place is done with great care. Drivers are always punctual, cars clean & comfortable.

Visit to Churchill northern Canada. Polar bear safari. Managed to see around 50 polar bears, also Arctic fox, Arctic hare, red fox and fox cross (cross between red and silver fox). Organisation was excellent. Accommodation was good too.

Wild Life Tours organised an excellent trip. Allan Blanchard was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and a good cook!

We had a fantastic holiday in Churchill. We saw many polar bears - adult males, young males sparring, mothers and cubs - as well as red, cross and silver fox. Allan was very knowledgeable and looked after us very well. The local team that took us out in 4x4 drives and also dog sledding were great fun

Wildlife Trails kept us informed all the way up to our holiday and answered any queries promptly. I would certainly recommend them

Happy that I have joined this eg already saw a polar bear rather close just on the way from the Churchill airport to the Churchill B&B; have seen polar bears more and closer than expected & unexpectedly have done dog sledding under the most spectacular northern light I’ve ever seen. The local operator chosen for the 4x4 tours ‘s extremely cautious and professional.

Generally good. Would be even better if certain information is clearer / shared in the WhatsApp group and who has the 1st group photo is ascertained and shared amongst the group.

Allan replied to all emails promptly and organised a fantastic trip for our family of four

Professional and accommodating

My fiancee and I spent 12 exciting days on the Island. We stayed at 4 different places. Apart from one day of travelling we spent the days going on wildlife trips. We were delighted to see all the animals we were hoping to see. Grizzly and Black Bears, Orcas, Humpback and Grey Whales, Sea Otters, Bald Eagles and much more. We stayed at lovely places that were convenient for eating out and food shopping.

Allan Blanchard from Wildlife Trails organised this wonderful holiday for us after listening to what we wanted from such a holiday. The holiday was well put together and the whole vacation went without a hitch. We were very impressed with the wildlife trip operators that Allan had chosen for us.

This was a two site trip, firstly for wildlife viewing by safari vehicle and then on the river by boat. Both sites offered excellent opportunities to see a wide variety of animals and birds. Far from worrying that I might not see a jaguar, we had 32 separate sightings in 4 days. The food was delicious and the accommodation comfortable. The local guide was incredibly knowledgeable and animal welfare was top of the priority list for both him and our boat driver. It was a very well paced trip without too much travelling and I would recommend it without hesitation

Wildlife Trails have second to none customer service, combined with an ethical approach to ecotourism that other companies should aspire to. It's my second trip with them and I shall book again as soon as possible.

This was our first, small group tour with Wildlife Trails. We were very impressed with the excellent service from booking, through trouble shooting with flights, right to the end of a wild life rich tour in Sabah with a surprise 70th birthday celebration. The tour was bespoke and intensive, designed to optimise viewings in challenging rainforests, during day and night drives. The local naturalist (Hamit), guides and drivers in each reserve were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, skilled spotters and safe drivers. Allan (naturalist) was particularly skilled and sensitive, balancing concern for the welfare of the wildlife with the demands of five photographers. Overall, the itinerary and sightings exceeded our expectations, providing many magical moments. These included listening to Sun Bears, watching eight Orangutans, seeing numerous beautiful birds, frogs and snakes, plus Pigmy Elephants in Deramakot and Kinabatangan; whilist enjoying the sensory experiences of being in the rainforest.

We benefitted from the efficient, personal services of a small, dedicated tour operator with decades of first hand experience. Everything was well organised, explained and negotiated with the six guests. Although most of the accommodation was simple (with the basics - en-suite, air-conditioning and flavorsome food), the hospitality was genuine; as was the pride in the special ecosystems in Sabah.
