Hectic but enjoyable Wildlife Viewing

The wildlife viewing was very good – from the elephant herds in Amboseli, through the boat ride on Lake Naivasha, and on to Nakuru National Park and the Maasai Mara. It is a very busy trip. There is a lot of driving and the roads (both in and outside the reserves) were in poor condition. This meant an early start every day and not a lot of leisure time at the lodges. Having said that, the accommodation at all the lodges was excellent. The vehicles were in good condition with a roof that lifts to allow good game viewing.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing Mount Kilimanjaro for the first time, emerging from the clouds on our last morning at Amboseli. We enjoyed seeing all the plentiful wildlife including over 100 species of birds.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We did not have a separate tour leader but rather two drivers for the two vehicles. The drivers were knowledgeable and took a lot of trouble getting us good wildlife viewing. We felt very safe with our driver who handled the amount of traffic and the potholed roads very competently.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Choose when you go carefully. We did not want to go when the wildebeest migration was happening. We thought we would be travelling just before the rainy season started. However, this year the rains came early so there was a lot of lying water in Amboseli, and we were restricted about where we could travel in the Maasai Mara. On the plus side, the lying water meant we saw a good variety of bird life.

Fantastic adventure

We had an incredible trip. A perfect balance of cycling, nature, culture and relaxation. Our tour leader Ruwan and and his team were amazing , the whole thing was perfect…..

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of the big climb day - a challenge but worth every drop of sweat 😁

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ruwan was superb- so knowledgeable, great organisation and crystal clear communication and a really nice guy to boot !!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just go and do it / you won’t regret it !!

Beautiful country and people

A lovely trip to this beautiful and varied island that mixes culture, history and lots of nature. Now more than ever Sri Lanka needs income from sustainable tourism and we’d strongly recommend it as a laid back and fascinating destination for anyone.

Most Inspirational Moment

Climbing Sigiriya, cycling along the canal to a delightful lunch of many traditional dishes that you don't find in the hotel buffet, seeing elephants in the wild with their babies, walking Horton Plain and seeing the clouds drifting in below us at World's End, spending time at a farm.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sujan was impeccably organised, great fun and worked hard to ensure the group gelled quickly. He has a great love of Sri Lanka and this came across in everything he did for the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It's easy to get cash from ATMs, the food was delicious and generally very good and varied for vegetarians. Bring plenty of light clothes it was up to 35C in March and a waterproof, because when it rains, it rains!

Cycling in Sri Lanka

What a fantastic trip. Our tour leader, Ruwan and the support crew were excellent, with great communication and no detail overlooked. Cycling is a great way to enjoy Sri Lanka and was made all the better with visits to local family-run businesses and homes to really get an insight into the lives of the local people. There were also many opportunities to see a variety of wildlife and birds. The two weeks seemed much longer because we packed so much in. All in all, a great holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

Managing to cycle all the way up to the tea plantation on Day 6 and seeing wild elephants in Yala National Park.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ruwan is an excellent leader with such incredible knowledge of Sri Lankan history and wildlife & birds.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don’t be put off by the day cycling up to the tea plantation, as the support bus is there if needed or alternatively opt for an e-bike. Take some warm clothes for Nuwara Eliya as you'll need a fleece for the cycle down the following day and it can be a bit chilly in the evening.

My holiday feedback

One of the most exciting and interesting holidays I have had out of my 200 plus overseas adventures. It was non stop for the full duration of the holiday partly because we visited 4 very different areas of Brazil substantial distances apart which required early mornings and long journeys.

Most Inspirational Moment

Spending the first evening at Club 1 in Rio just along the road from the hotel where the Bossa Nova music was invented for an evening of wonderful music, food and drinks.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Amazing! Fred was very knowledgeable about everywhere and everything in Brazil and found us the most amazing places to eat at night, which was very helpful with only 4 participants. He was very sociable, not just with us, but with local tour guides, drivers, restaurant staff etc. The best tour leader ever and I have nominated him for Tour Leader of the Year 2026.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you take walking shoes which can get wet and muddy, insect repellent spray and bite cream. Do everything offered!!!

Sunny Winter 2026

An awesome trip with beautiful scenery and plenty to do. If you’re into snow, ice and snowmobiling you’ll love it. Hurtigruten snowmobiling is well recommended, Charlotte and Sarah are awesome guides, extremely knowledgeable and professional. A total credit.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing snow as far as you can see and then being let loose on a snowmobile !

Thoughts on Group Leader

Garance was lovely, she looked after us well, even arranged a bonus free trip too. Totally recommended.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Wrap up well against the wind chill even when just walking up town. Most of the trips supplied exposure suits, gloves and snow boots.

Discover New Zealand

Excellent itinerary with an excellent Tour Leader

Most Inspirational Moment

Sailing in Milford Sound. The whole country was beautiful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent, Jordan did everything expected and more.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Avoid Dubai!

Vietnam cycling adventure never a dull moment

Superb guide, Son. Very good standard of accommodation and lots of variety including a night on a boat and a night on a train. Great moments and always something to look forward to . Very varied from Hectic Cities, historical Palaces , lunch with local family, markets, Buddhas and countryside with paddy fields and water buffalo.

Most Inspirational Moment

Joyful smiling children running out and greeting you like celebrities in every village you pass through

Thoughts on Group Leader

Group leader and guide, Son - brilliant . Informative and great at organising . Good attention to detail

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack waterproof cycling jacket and Suncream . Don’t expect paradise - the litter and water contamination in Halong bay are both shocking

A wonderful trip full of amazing sights, food, colours and an outstanding tour leader!

We are just back from our first ever trip to India. It was a wonderful experience full of amazing buildings, palaces and forts. We tried a wide variety of delicious food and had the opportunity to eat at both top end restaurants for a reasonable price as well as sample a range of street food. The trip certainly lived up to its name as the colours we saw were so vibrant, whether it was ladies dressed in beautiful saris, colourful flowers and garlands or the decoration in the temples.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were so many but picking just a few it would be sighting a tiger, the breathtaking beauty of the Taj Mahal and the Amber Fort in Jaipur. Plus the warm and friendly welcome we received form the Indian people themselves.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ajay Gupta was our leader and he was outstanding. He was so helpful and caring and gave us such an insight into his country. Ajay's aim at all times was to show us the best of his country and to ensure the group was having an enjoyable time. Some of our group had special requests, for example to visit another stepwell or consult an astrologer. Ajay made it happen for them. Ajay was so helpful to my husband and I helping us plan our extra days in Delhi and kept in touch with us to check all was going well. He is such a fantastic ambassador for his country and Exodus clients will really have hit the jackpot when they find he is their tour leader. We would love to do another trip with Ajay as he goes over and above at all times and is full of fun.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Some of the days do involve long days of travelling but they are broken up with frequent stops and the sights at the end of it are definitely worth the drive. I would highly recommend this trip and the Exodus way of travel. We cannot wait for our next trip!

Many Wildlife Discoveries and an Unexpected Extended Trip!

As with all our previous Exodus trips we had a great time. We were with a friendly group of fellow travellers and the itinerary went pretty much like clockwork.
Our flights back were cancelled owing to the Middle East Crisis but Exodus came to our rescue and rebooked flights via a different route and by necessity extended our stay by 2 nights. Massive thanks to Exodus for their help and making the whole thing stress free.

Most Inspirational Moment

This is always difficult but probably the Kinabatangan River trips where we caught up with good views of Wild Orangutan, Proboscis Monkeys, Crocodiles, one Pygmy Elephant and many birds. The night walks/drives were also productive and included sightings of Western Tarsier, Slow Loris , Leopard Cat, Reticulated Python, Buffy Fish Owl and 2 species of Civets.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had Nizam for Sarawak and Rony for the bulk of the trip in Sabah. Both were very conscientious and attentive to everyone's needs and made sure everyone kept up, with the sightings. They were also good fun. Our driver was also faultless and travel was not at all tiring for us. The 2 internal flights were short and went to plan.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is covered by the trip notes. Only lightweight waterproof jackets are needed - we had no trouble with leeches or biting insects. We extended our trip by one day at the beginning in Kuching to acclimatise and by necessity 2 days in the Sabah hotel at the end of the trip. Either is a good idea. Sabah Hotel is probably the best appointed and has a swimming pool and there is further opportunity to visit the reserve at Sepilok for a modest taxi fare.
