An experience of a lifetime, fantastic wildlife viewing under varied environments and conditions. A holiday for the more adventurous, be prepared for some long days and short nights !
Walking with girafe's, zebra, eland, wilderbeast and gazelle's on day 2 was real Africa ! The sunrise balloon trip over the Serengeti is breathtaking and a must do !
Our group leader was a wonderful friend to have with us on the trip
Be prepared to assist with the chores and be part of the team which helped strengthen the holiday friendships
Possibly I hadn’t given this trip the serious thought it required. I’ve climbed peaks before, well the three highest in the UK that is so how difficult could Kilimanjaro be! The daily walks were brilliant, the summit climb torture and the cold- well absolutely freezing.
I had expected summitting to watch the sunrise at Gilmans Point to be the highlight of my trip; however the reality didn't quite match up to the expectation. I did suffer from the altitude on the way to the summit but with a lot of encouragement from a wonderful tent/room mate and the superb guide Shaban I did make it to Gilmans Point. After the long trek back down and resting in my now lovely warm tent toasting in the suns rays I thought about what I'd just achieved- reaching Gilmans and asked myself if I was disappointed in not reaching Uhuru Point. I realised that reaching the summit had become inconsequential as the whole experience of Tanzinia, the trek, the guides, porters and spending time with a group of wonderful people all setting out with the same goal in mind was a highlight that I won't be forgetting.
Our group leader Abraham was terrific. He was a strong leader that we all felt completely confident with. He was very well respected by his team & I was grateful to have his expertise on the first trek of this kind I had undertaken. He was extremely observant of both trekkers and porters/guides and looked for opportunities to strengthen the skills of the guides at all times. We were exceptionally lucky to have not only Abraham but a fantastic team of guides and assistant guides in Seraphin, Nico, Shaban, Nemis, Julius and Marwa who I'm sure will develop into confident group leaders.
Don't underestimate the cold, it was freezing. Even in the hotel it was chilly as seemed to be misty a lot of the time. I didn't take a spare pair of trousers for the evenings around camp and really wished I'd had some comfy warm trackies. Do invest in decent warm base layers, it'll be money well spent! Experienced group trekkers dressed up for the last night at the hotel and were unrecognisable from their dusty trekking gear- a nice touch, I'll definitely be dressed to the nines on my last night next time!!
Great leader. Very tough walking but accomadation great, so would recommend separate gradeing of walking and accomadation.
5 mountain tops in 7 days!
Very good.
Be aware that walking is long days in hot conditions. Accomadation and food great but good level of fitness required.
Tour was excellently planned, giving us the chance to see as much of Peru as possible. Tour Leader was very helpful and gave us excellent service. The only drawback was the long time spent on the coach travelling from place to place but, given the country’s vastness, it was to be expected.
Definitely the first glimpse of Machu Picchu. However, viewing the condors in Colca Canyon comes a close second.
Fabrizio was very helpful and took great care of us especially while crossing the Andes when some of us experienced mild altitude sickness.
I had never travelled alone before however met with a warm welcome from the trip leader and the other travellers. I was a little apprehensive about staying in the gite as it was a little out of my comfort zone, but found the accommodation was of a higher standard than I had anticipated. The group soon bonded well and our leader was always on hand to answer any questions or to explain the next day’s activities.
The welcome we received from the villagers in the mountains. I can never fail to be inspired from those who do not have the material wealth or development that I am used to in the UK, but who still go out of their way to be hospitable. The food, both at the gite and during the rest stops on the walks was nothing short of sensational. The goat herders whom we saw during our walks - our leader told us that they live in the villages but come into the moutains every day to round up the goats and take them to the nearest source of water. I found this very humbling, to think these people walk into the mountains, sometimes for a few hours, to find their livestock and move them on. I couldn't imagine that happening in the UK.
He was fantastic, approachable, knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. He joined in with the group of an evening, even to the point of bringing out a set of drums and teaching us Moroccan songs! His appreciation of the area and its people was amazing.
Ensure your walking boots are comfortable and in good order - you will be on your feet for many hours!If you go the same time I did - late August - be prepared, it is HOT. Even in the mountains we were walking in plus 30 degree C temperatures and Marrakech was closer to 50 degrees C.Mingle with your group - you will be amazed who you meet!
A totally wicked full-to-the brim holiday.
The whole group making it to the top of Dead Women's Pass, and all the way to the Sun Gate.The view from the Sun Gate down to Macchu Picchu was surreal - but well worth all the effort!Seeing how everyday people in Peru live gave me much more insight than a "normal" holiday would have done.
Our group leader Carlos was absolutely brilliant! He looked after us perfectly, giving us enough freedom when we needed some space, but always being there if we needed any advice or help. He also tailored our trip to perfection, and was able to "read" the wishes of the group.A very good asset for Exodus to have!
Don't worry too much about the altitude. The aclimatisation days (and advice to stay off alcohol!) work a treat, even if some of the walking has to be done at a slower rate than you may be used to...
A wonderfully relaxing week, completely looked after, in a lovely rural location with good moderate walks.
The ridge walk to M Prado on my birthday and the walk to M Sumbra - both on lovely September days.
There are good leaders and then there is Sara Bull. Enthusiastic, energetic and competent. She planned the week to make the best of the weather though it turned out better then forecast. It was a moderate grade and there were different levels of fitness but she organised the walks so that everyone felt comfortable and no-one was left champing at the bit: she gave excellent intructions so that we could go ahead and wait in the sun while the others caught up. I had my birthday on the second day and hadn't told anyone but Sara found out and planned a fantastic surprise in the evening - I was very touched. She always went the extra mile. I've never got so much out of a free day - she planned it all for us and we had a great day in Lucca.
Moderate means you should be able to go up and down hills confidently.
Croatia is a truly beautiful country and biking around is a fantastic way to appreciate the views. The Dalmation coast is stunning with the route being challenging in some areas but anybody with a general level of fitness will manage it.
Being with a member of the group who was in their early 70s being in the lead group for the whole week. It made me want to keep on going and inspired me to keep my fitness levels up so that life remains sweet and fun.
Ana was wonderful and looked after everybody in the group through ups and downs (no puns intended). She was very supportive and made sure we were all enjoying ourselves. The lunch and dinner locations Ana choose for us were really enjoyable.
Don't be afraid of wearing lycra - you need it for 5 days in the saddle. The bikes were really good but if you have a comfy saddle at home bring it with you........!
Excellent! Well organised, excellent on ground support, lovely place, can’t fault any thing, it’s just what Exodus do…well.
Hills. Undulating hills.
Excellent, very calm, organised.
The Tropical South was a Colourful Nicely Paced Introduction to South India
The most inspirational moment for me was in the temple of Madurai
Suresh the group leader was funny and caring and very knowledgeable about his country.
Do not forget your bug spray the mossy was not too bad but other small creatures where plentiful The tour guide is very good at showing you safe places to eat if you decide to go it alone for eating check how your food is prepared eg have they washed things in tap or bottled water. If you dont like hot food ask for less chilli not less spices as you will loose a lot of the flavour.Long trousers are great for visiting temples but also to protect against leeches :) you will be provided with leech socks put them on for the jungle bit harmless little critters but quite annoying. Your feet will get wet in the jungle but trainers dry fairly quickly in the heat. Dont change too much money at the air port as its hard to change it back at a decent rate and when changing money ask for 100 rupee notes or less as most places will struggle to give you change apart from the large hotels where you could use 500 notes to pay for your dinner.Sun block up even if its cloudy its gets you when your not expecting Long loose skirts are easier for using the crouching toilets rather than trousers :) but its all good fun you will have buns of steel by the end of the trip If you put on a bikini expect everyone to photograph you the locals go in the sea fully clothed so heaps of flesh on display is not a great idea if you don't want the attention.Haggle haggle and Haggle some more or if your a soft touch like me just give them what they are asking for but seriously you can usually knock 20 % off whatever they start at usually more I worked on the basis of how much effort was needed to make whatever I was buying.Pack light I went out with 9KG and came back with 20 KG I love shopping.I wash by hand but if you like to get things laundered the tour rep will advice the best places. The massages are very good but are a full front and back if your shy I would give this a miss wait until you get to the last hotel the massages reviewed much better here tha earlier in the trip. Go with an open mind and have fun
