Excellent range of walks in a short period of time gives a taster for more and we are likely to return to the Dolomites. Good hotel accommodation with excellent variety of food and facilities.
Monte Piano and Tre Cime, good walking with spectacular views.
Karl was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He kept the group well informed and was flexible with the itinerary following the flight delay which resulted in a enjoyable first day.
Take your walking polls and don’t forget your bathing costume for the hotel swimming pool, Jacuzzi etc.
A friendly small hotel in a pictureque village, laid back walking through unspoilt forests, wildflowers and clean air.
Swimming in pristine mountain pools. Sipping beers cooled in mountain streams.
Rudy was very thoughtful and looked after all the guests very well. Walks were well planned to suit all guests and to see as much of the area as possible, An excellent leader.
Cycling the Damation Coast is up there with my favourite holidays! A great was to see Croatia, visitng some of the Islands and taking in the spectacular views. I was lucky to be with some great people so we had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.More challenging than I was expecting, but for me that just made the experience better!The hotels weren’t up to much at all, so a good job we didn’t spend much time in them. The first hotel had so many steps and no one to help with the cases. A bit disappointing considering the cost of the holiday.
The trip to Mljet. A very pretty place so take advantage of this day trip - not to be missed.
Ana was a great tour leader. Very knowledgeable and professional. She was supportive of all reglardless of their fitness level and those with quirky fears (I am a complete scardey cat when it comes to cycling down very steep hills).
Get some cycling training in as it's tougher than it's advertised as being. Perhaps attend some spinning classes. I really enjoyed it but others struggled. Also the beaches are mostly pebbles and stones, so bring appropriate footwear for walking into the water.
An absolutely amazing two weeks, three countries with seventeen other people. I've come away with a ton of memories, and many many new friends.
Sitting perhaps 6ft from the silverback from the Amahoro group, watching him sleepily eat bamboo completly unfazed by a group of muzungu's clicking away. Going to the orphanage at Lake Bunyoni, and playing with all the kids. Well worth going for.
Chris was a LEGEND! A great mix of stories, experience and ability to know when to be hands on, and hands off. He's a true credit to Exodus.
Do the reverse route. It builds up perfectly to the Masai Mara at the end we thought!Orphanage, hot air balloon.. Do the lot. It adds up to an amazing holiday.The fleece for the truck is spot on, and bring (an English) sense of humour, good books or card games.
Great combination of history, culture and terrific landscape
The magical island or Korcula. I was expecting Dubrovnik to be the star of the show and that was great but Korcula is magnificent. The view down on the old town on its peninsular jutting into the sea is unforgettable.
The leader can make or break a trip and Edo, our group leader, was fantastic. At first sight he's a huge bear of a guy but very friendly, totally reliable and unstingly helpful. He ran himself ragged to make the trip run smoothly. I can't praise him highly enough.
If travelling in the summer be prepared for the heat - we had 32c-37c - and no air-con in the hotel in Korcula!
An incredible holiday which has surpassed all other African safaris I’ve ever done
An amazing experience, as Paul said 6 safaris in 6 days. I have always wanted to see a lion cub but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see a lioness carrying a week-old cub in her mouth. Not satisfied with that, we were also lucky enough to see the River Pride on a morning when nobody else saw anything, when there were a number of adults, a couple of yearling males and 3 beautiful 3 month old cubs playing with each other. Having thought that was the highlight, we saw 4 different leopards before breakfast one day, 3 of which were from the same family on the same tree! The migration almost became secondary to the big cats but of course that was thrilling too when 80,000 wildebeest crossed the Talek river in front of our very eyes.
Paul was his usual energetic self, getting us up early to be in position for the magnificent sunrises and then to see the animals at the best time of the day before it got too hot. Although I haven't got a DSLR I found Paul very helpful with hints and tips, probably because I understand my camera more now. When traveling with him in his Landcruiser he always seemed to have a 6th sense about where the animals would be and what they'd do next so it was great to be with him on the morning of the 3 leopards
Go, you'll not regret it!Make sure you drink plenty of water as it can be hot and one can easily dehydrate without actually realising it.
Had a fantastic time. The scenery is amazing but the weather could have been better (not that anyone is to blame for that). The hotel is small but very friendly and homely, Victor our guide was brilliant. I would thouroughly recommend this trip.
Standing at the tip of a peak and walking along the Cain Gorge.
Victor was brilliant, could not fault him at all. Friendly, polite, helpful, new what he was talking about.
Take some decent wet weather gear
This cycle trip was in most parts beautiful. The first three days coming through the Dolomites was beautiful with off road cycle routes made it an absolute joy. The others day were mostly beautiful too, along the canal river route but there were a couple of long stretches on busy roads which were not so good but mostly beautiful cycling.
The stunning scenery of being up near the Austrian border and being in cool fresh clean air. Off road, down hill, cycle paths through stunning sceneryThe evening and day we had in Venice, it has to be the most beautiful city in the world. My top tip is to keep away from the main tourist parts and just explore the back routes. Great Great food and at least two ice creams a day! My morning expresso en route
He was fine, lacked the Joie de Vivre that I think is so important for a Tour Leader, but he could mend bikes and read a map.
It is all in the Trip dossier, what to take etc. I would recommend a Fleece for first 2 nights in mountains, as was a little chillier than I had expected in the evenings. I had also rang Exodus twice re panniers on bikes to be told there were no panniers, so brought some and in fact the bikes did have panniers to carry daytime stuff. agh!!!!annoying. Apart from Venice which is incredibly expensive the rest of the trip the food, drinks etc were good value considering the Euro is so bad at the moment.
What can I say – this trip ticked all my boxes and more – being a returnee to both the Mara and Kicheche Mara camp (albeit in a new stunning location) I knew what to expect from one of Paul’s photographic trips but this one surpassed my expectations!
Seeing 3 leopards from the same family in a tree by the Talek river and more importantly - spending TIME with them - watching them and observing the interaction between them! Amazing - and I remembered to take some photos too!Have to also mention the lioness carrying a 12day old cub too - a special moment indeed - on the first afternoon no less - this set the bar high for the remainder of the trip!
Not sure I can anything that hasn't already been said before here - Paul is in his element when in the Mara! Long days do justice to what it had to throw at us, early starts get you that amazing light and late finishes get you your well earned sundowner and sunsets to die for! The guides have that special instinct to get you in the right place at the right time! Paul and his team make it all happen!
Take plenty of memory cards, enjoy the time spent waiting for what will happen, be prepared to put on a little extra weight from all the amazing meals that are provided - the bush breakfast is a great interlude when you get a moment to enjoy it!
A wonderful experience packed full of varied activities and wildlife. The small schooner type boat seems like a much better way to see the Islands than the larger cruiser style boats. Every Island is so different in terms of the specific wildlife hosted, and indeed the snorkelling at all the different locations also provided varied trips. The 'navigation' between the islands can be a little bumpy, personally I loved every minute of it but if you are wanting a smoother ride then maybe a larger boat would be better for you.
I really could go on and on, but here are a couple:Swimming/snorkelling with the Sea Lions has to be one of the most wonderful experiences of my life - and I have been on quite a few of these types of trip! They are so inquisitive and friendly and one could literally swim for hours with them...but you mustn't get distracted too much or you will miss the thousands of fish and other sea mammals to be seen. The sea-life is just so rich out there - supporting the huge number of sea birds. And the numbers of sea birds really are huge...leading on to another inspirational moment being witness to a Blue Footed Booby feeding frenzy where huge flocks of birds dive into the sea together to feed on shoaling fish...backed up with Sea Lions, Pelicans, Penguins and other predatory fish...we were right in the middle of one of these feeding frezies with the action going on all around us - truly amazing experience.Thirdly, and I think this moment would rank high for everyone that was there, was when we snorkelled into a deep cave by torchlight, and on turning back from the darkness we were greeted with a view of (possibly) hundreds of huge turtles suspended against a dazzling green/blue background...I won't ever be forgetting that image.The boat (Cachalote) for me was one big high point - the crew were fantastic from the two Panga (dinghy) drivers and deckhands to the Skipper and Chef - all were cheerful and amusing and would be anxious to make sure all of our needs were met. It's just so much fun being on a smaller boat - some of the trips between islands can be a tad rough and storage space in the cabins is a little limited, but seriously, just don't pack too much - you can wash shirts and shorts underway - they take seconds to dry. There is nothing better than standing up on deck watching the waves and/or stars go by with a beer in hand. During the day also while navigating there is a strong chance of sightings of Dolphins, Whales, and the odd Manta Ray jumping clear out of the water to rid themselves of parasites.
Darwin was quite possibly the best tour leader I have had on any holiday. His passion and enthusiasm for his job, country and surroundings was extraordinary. His knowledge was vast, and imparted explicitly. A good sense of humour and ability to sense moments when we might have wanted some peace were his strong points. Nightly briefings kept us well in touch with what was planned for the next day. He was an excellent guide both above and below water and you could see that he was genuinely wanting us to get the very most out of our trip, and enjoying every moment of it as much as us. Well done Darwin - a fantastic job :)
Read the trip notes - heh, we're all guilty of not doing that properly eh?
