As an Exodus staff member, I know how much people love this trip – but experiencing it for myself took my appreciation to a whole new level!

The local team are simply brilliant. It’s fair to say I would have got nowhere near the top without the positivity and knowledge of our leader, Happyness, and assistant guides Lucy, Joyce and Florian, plus all the support crew. On top of that, the group I joined as a solo traveller was so welcoming and funny – every day was a blast.

Additionally, the Lemosho Route itself felt like a great choice. Just having that little bit longer to acclimatise may have been the difference between me getting to the top and not.

As a birdwatcher I know that nature doesn’t also show up just because you bought a ticket but, from the first moment, the wildlife of Kruger more than delivered. And so much of that was due to the guides Exodus booked inside the reserve, particularly Nhlamulo Nyalungu who always seemed to know where the action was.

The accommodation was great too and meals were superb, variety as well as quality with plenty of quantity. Rooms were clean and very spacious with access onto the lawn and pool without losing any sense of privacy.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Portugal with Exodus. Our tour guide Carla was everything you hope a tour guide to be. She was knowledgeable, articulate, funny, motivated and immensely proud of her country. She helped us experience all the beauty, history and traditions of Portugal. She taught us about the people, the pride and promise of this beautiful place. Along the way every day we explored a new city, hiked a new path, drank fabulous wine and dined on amazing local foods.
