Chamonix is an excellent base for the Mont Blanc Highlights. Accommodation was beautiful. Programme was excellent. Guide was superb in all respects. Administration by Exodus was seamless, as always.
Most Inspirational Moment
The planning and execution of all walks, giving scope to enjoy all aspects of the countryside. The flexibility in amending walks where necessary Aiguille de Midi was excellent but from my point of very daunting Accommodation - excellent rooms Hosts - Hamish and Dorota were very welcoming and created a home-from-home ambience. Dorota's cooking was superb and she unquestioningly made provision for my gluten-free diet.

Nacho is a truly capable young man with boundless energy and a capacity to respond to everyone's needs at any point during the trip. He is friendly, highly enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, empathetic and speaks virtually flawless English. He took careful cognizance of the age group and abilities of every member of the group and made appropriate suggestions and gave important advice.
I thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and experience. Ronney was a fantastic tour leader and guide – knowledgeable on wildlife and spotting it as we journeyed between daily destinations. We saw a fabulous amount of wildlife and differing landscapes and the camping meals and sense of shared adventure was really present within the group we travelled with. Happy (who cooked for us), made sure that the vegetarians within the group (myself included) were catered for in the same way as the non-vegetarians and that also made a big difference to our experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
I particularly enjoyed the White Lady Lodge Campsite - for Desert Elephants (we were lucky to see them both at sunset and during the day) and the night sky. The campsite was also very nice. Etosha National Park for the sheer abundance of wildlife we saw. We may have been exceptionally lucky, and I realise that not everyone gets to see all that we did, it just felt this was the best opportunity to do so.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ronney was professional, patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and organised. He set the scene from the beginning about how (as a group) we could make the most of the holiday by the way we were together. Ronney shared some of the political, cultural and historical influences on modern day Namibia and was an excellent wildlife guide.
Diversity of visited sites, excellent guide, great participants
Most Inspirational Moment
Honestly each day we encountered a new highlight.. of course MP was incredible, but I also felt Lake Titicaca was excellent, the Nasca lines, the bird islands, the pyramids, Cusco and still other sites. Each contributed to an understanding of the culture and landscapes.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Giscard was very organized, gave us information daily, sometimes in multiple formats so we knew exactly was coming next. He shared his personal experiences and his perspectives about the political, economic and cultural mores which we quite enjoyed. He cared about our health and personal needs and provided support whenever requested. His culinary background enabled us to eat well in select yet reasonably priced gourmet restaurants. throughout the trip. He is a great guide!
An enjoyable African adventure – to experience the African sunrises and sunsets in the national parks was amazing. Excellent campfire food and wonderful morning and evening game drives with fantastic animal encounters.

Brian was very knowledgeable on the locations, animals and flora during the entire trip. He was helpful with daily briefings and organising additional excursions.
Everything was well thought out and efficient, from waking up, getting breakfast, packing up the tents and making lunch to getting out on the trail and experiencing the Alps with an excellent guide and a great group of people to enjoy with.
Most Inspirational Moment
Honestly, our group got along really well and pretty quickly, which I highly enjoyed as it made the experience so much better. The outstanding views throughout the entire trip were without a doubt a highlighted in enough itself, especially the campsites which had incredible views making it a superb place to relax after a long, but amazing day on the trail.

Honestly, I thought Rocia was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the terrain. She was very sociable and enthusiastic, going out of the way to tell us about specific plants and wildlife of the Alps. I highly enjoyed her company I thought she made the trip 100% better.
An excellent itinerary covering a wide variety of habitats and environments perfect for nature lovers

Thoughts on Group Leader
Fantastic, the trip ran like a well oiled machine, super organised, he made sure we all had the necessary info about the programme without overloading us, and gave us a lot of info on the various places we visited. Very sociable, warm and friendly. He also offered us lots of opportunities to walk with him in the early mornings looking for wildlife to make the most of our time in each area.
The a countries are amazing. There was a great variety of stops and Andrew was a great guide.

Andrew was a great guide. He has excellent knowledge of all the countries, and he really help to enrich the trip. He was really friendly and had s lovely way of explaining things and managing the group. He gave excellent suggestions of place to go. Overall he really helped made the trip enjoyable.
Felt we could trust the guides from the moment they met us at the airport. SUPERB at their many roles – safe guiding, informative on many topics, well managed packed itinerary, great chefs, good camaraderie. Namibia is a beautiful country and they shared it with real care.

Thoughts on Group Leader
We felt we could trust Shane with the way he carried himself, presented himself and conducted himself throughout.
I was attracted to this trip in large part because it promised a fair bit of scrambling, and it did not disappoint (see other reviewers comments). Great fun. The expectation of minimal crowds was also an attraction, and that did not disappoint either. Other highlights including seeing a bear in the wild and the food and hospitality at Villa Hermani. Finally, our guide, Sebi, was outstanding — a capable guy who was also great company.
Most Inspirational Moment
Perhaps the most inspirational aspect of the trip to me was the general vibe of place. There seemed a palpable sense of possibility now that the country has been released from its repressive past.
Thoughts on Group Leader
As already mentioned, Sebi was outstanding. On some days Leo joined as a second guide. I enjoyed hanging in the back with him and botanizing, as he was well versed in the area's natural history.
Advice for Potential Travellers
