Classic Kenya Safari
What a fantastic experience! I had never travelled to Africa before and didn’t know what to expect. This trip exceeded all expectations. The wildlife was fantastic, the accommodation great, the tour leader extremely friendly and the group I was with all got on extremely well. I would highly recommend the tour.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me it was the feeling of adventure and anticipation I felt throughout the trip. We saw so much and experienced so many memorable moments throughout that I couldn't pick out one thing. Black rhino, elephants, cheetas, lions.... the list goes on.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader Davis was excellent. He was very friendly and full of interesting facts about the area and the wildlife throughout our trip. He made us all feel comfortable from the start and does a great job! Thanks Davis.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just go for it! This was my first group trip and my first safari and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Atlas Panorama
Amazing holiday. Well organised by Hassan. He was an amazing tour leader, and helped people in the group that had diffculties with the longer walks in the mountain and encouraged them to do them, to their amazement they accomplished the 10 hour walk with no problem.
Highly recommend this trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
The group was amazing and we all accomplished 10 hours of amazing scenery and keeping as a group.
The whole holiday was inspirational from start to end. Everything was arranged like clock works.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hassan was a great group leader, keeping us all under his control and encouraged some of the group to achieve more than they thought possible.
He looked after us all with ease. Thank you for an amazing holiday!
Advice for Potential Travellers
A foodie tour is worth doing in Marrakesh.
Bring lots of layers as it is cold in the mountains and can be changable.

Colours of Rajasthan
This was a fantastic trip – Rajasthan was beautiful, colourful, packed full of history, and one of the most interesting places i’ve visited. I’ll definitely be back.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the tigers in Ranthambhore National Park
Also the fort in Jodphur, beautiful Udaipur, and sunrise at the Taj Majal
Thoughts on Group Leader
Chandra was absolutely excellent. I have travelled all over the world, and done 10 similar trips to this one with Explore and G Adventures, and Chandra was the best guide i have had - he's a huge asset to Exodus.

Lots of inspiration moments as it was such a vaired trip but probably reaching the sungate at Michu Pichu is up there amoung many.

You will enjoy it more if you are quite fit. Some in my group struggled with the trekking . If you can speak spanish it will help ..
Take insect repellent for the forest !

Great landscapes
The landscapes were fantastic. Real variety of scenery from rolling hills, to endless gravel sections, lots of gorgeous sand and small towns. Namibia has some fabulous food, extremely affordable. The bikes we hired were of fantastic quality too.
Most Inspirational Moment
Sunrise on the Sand Dunes. Incredible.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was okay. Very organised, very safety and environmental conscious.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack a pillow! The accommodation is very budget. Even the last night in the Superior Hotel was not Superior. They were basic 2 star hotels. The camping equipment was great. Tents were spacious and put up and down for us - easy camping in my book! We were there in March and didn't really need a sleeping bag or any wet weather gear.

Highlights of Costa Rica
We drove some 1,300 miles (or was it kilometres?) in two weeks, travelling every second day so quite a lot of time was spent on the bus albeit with regular stops. The country is very varied with distinct geographical zones.
Most Inspirational Moment
Gliding peacefully along the waterways in Tortuguero.
Staying at the Esquinas Rainforest Lodge - wonderful.
Seeing the Resplendent Quetzal at Savegre and the wonderful humming birds.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andrés was very knowledgeable about his country, patient and imparted just the right amount of information.
Our driver was Erik - a very professional and excellent driver who spent much of his spare time cleaning and polishing the bus. It was immaculate.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Monteverde - the suspension bridges/canopy walk was well worth doing, as were the butterfly and humming bird gardens.
Esquinas - at $15 their night walk was excellent (much better than the Monteverde walk) and we saw lots of frogs and a very venomous snake which the Esquinas guide gave a wide berth to!
Each of the lodges/hotels had laundry services, cost by piece or by the bag so I take a week's worth of clothes and get them laundered half way through as the humidity isn't conducive to getting things dry once washed. I packed my clothes in plastic bags so they didn't get damp.

Treasures of Sicily Review
Great, comprehensive trip covering most of Sicily. From walking on Mt Etna, to sampling the best seafood, wine and coffee in charismatic historical towns dotted all around the island, it was definitely a trip to write home about!
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking in the Zingaro Nature Reserve. The beauty of the rugged coastline, the views and being active in the sunshine was magical.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Danilo was fantastic. The fact that he's a geologist was a nice surprise. He provided valuable and interesting information about Mt Etna, and Sicily's landscape in general. He was also very helpful in giving restaurant recommendations, endeavoured to make everyone's holiday as enjoyable as possible.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack layers if going up Mt Etna. The sun may be shining, but the winds are still chilly in April!

Marrakech and the Sahara
An excellent trip with a great variety of scenery and experiences which I would recommend.
Most Inspirational Moment
Being in the Sahara, the sunset and the night sky. Also the Atlas Mountains which were stunning.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very good: knowledgeable and took us to some great restaurants!
Advice for Potential Travellers
We didn't need our sleeping bags: there were made up beds in both the Sahara camp and the gite where we had a tent/room for ourselves. It was very hot at the end of March/beginning of April and only needed a jumper in the evening in the desert. A couple of longer drives, but the scenery was stunning. The camel ride was fun after the first 10 min of getting used to it but does leave you a little sore!

It is difficult to pick out anything specific on this diverse trip because so much was fantastic.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our Group Leader Danh Nguyen was excellent from the moment we arrived until we had checked in at the airport to leave. Nothing was too much trouble and he arranged a number of nice touches to make the holiday even more enjoyable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A reasonable level of fitness helps make this trip more enjoyable and be prepared to deal with cycling in the sun with lots of sun screen.
