Testimonials

Thanks for a fabulous holiday. Your attention to detail and attentive support ensures we get a trouble free time in which to concentrate on enjoying the wonderful sites and wildlife you planned into the well put together holiday itinerary.

Namibia ranks up there with the very best holidays for us. It is not just that you see the wildlife, but you really experience it. A wonderful country in terms of the scenery (those red sand dunes seem ages ago but truly awe inspiring), wildlife and people. As ever, you selected an itinerary which was packed full of variety, building to a wonderful climax and we could not have asked for more. We really enjoy travelling with you, as tour operaters you are second to none, you can switch off your brain in terms of decision making and just enjoy the experiences but you also come over as friends you have met again on another amazing holiday experience - a difficult balancing act for you but one you both pull off very well. I just spent the morning trying to put the photos into folders (and thankyou Dawn for your help with the camera). Thankyou so much once again.

We had a fantastic trip to Namibia. It ticked ALL the boxes with good accommodation and all the relevant animals! We had no idea we would get so close to the action. The early morning drives were excellent. All in all satisfied clients!

Thanks very much from us both - we had a wonderful time, a very special trip! 

Thank you both for all the thought, effort and enthusiasm you put into creating a wonderful and memorable holiday in Costa Rica and Panama. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and the whole holiday was above and beyond our expectations. We both agree that our time on the boat was outstanding in every way and Cedric achieved his ambition of sailing through the Panama Canal! We made some very pleasant friendships and had plenty of “craic”. We all hope to meet up again sometime in the future.

A big thank you for the wonderful holiday in Costa Rica and Panama. As usual your itinerary, attention to detail, thoughtfulness and the many “surprises” throughout were second to none. We enjoyed all the hotels with the Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Resort being our favourite especially with its activities, guides and scenery. The National Geographic Sea Lion with its the daily programmes covering visits to beautiful National Parks in both Costa Rica and Panama, various activities, staff and Expedition Team/Guides was superb. Although it was our second time the transit of the Panama Canal is still a big highlight. We in fact enjoyed it so much more being on a small ship you see a lot more of the procedures involved in getting ships through the locks which is just fascinating. Also it was a plus factor going through the Miraflores Locks and Pedro Miguel Locks at night time and then the Gatun Locks in the daytime, such a lovely contrast.

Thank you very much for our wonderful holiday. Everything seemed to go without a hitch from our point of view and the extras you provided made the holiday even more special! We will look forward to booking another holiday with you in the not too distant future: Galapagos and the proposed Rhone river cruise look favourities at the moment!

Thanks for organising a super holiday!

After an amazing Galapagos trip with you last year, we were a bit worried if Costa Rica and Panama would match up as an experience. Yes it did, thanks to your very detailed research and hands-on guiding. We all saw how hard you both worked to smooth our travels, allowing us to just experience the wildlife and beauty in front of us. A mention too of the crew and naturalists on the National Geographic Sea Lion who did everything to make us have a great week aboard and ashore. Look forward to another trip soon. Put us down for Namibia and Botswana please!

I just wanted to say a very big thank you from Doug and myself for the most fantastic holiday.  The whole holiday was everything we expected and more.  It was wonderful and we’d both love to do it all over again.
