CYCLE MOROCCO'S GREAT SOUTH
Well thought out cycing with plenty of variety
A TASTE OF CUBA
This was a fascinating and engaging journey around central Cuba. We packed a huge amount ainto the time so it felt like a longer trip. With such a complex and varied country it lived up to its title- just a ‘taste of Cuba’.

Thoughts on Group Leader
he was quite superb. I give him a score of 15/10the success of the trip was to a large extent down to his personalityhe was very well informed, able to impart that information in skilful ways, acutely attuned to everyone's needs and position in the group - but with a light and skilful touch. witty and engagingcannot think of any way in which he could have been better
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be aware that there is inevitably a lot of time sitting in the bus
CYCLING THROUGH RAJASTHAN
A truly memorable holiday
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling through rural India, visiting local village, cycling through chaotic city traffic and coping with it, with the help of Sanjay and Promod. The friendliness of all the children and families waving us on even in the remotest of places, there would always be a 'ta ta' springing up from the unlikliest of spots. Last but not least, being able to see India close up on a bicyle, you really get a feel for the country, rather than viewing it from the TV or other media.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Sanjay and Promod and the rest of the team were outstanding. Very helpful, always on hand to help and take any questions you may have.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I was anxious about what I had read regarding cattle in road, barking dogs, the naughty sticks and stones, upset stomachs, but it paled into significance with regard to the whole holiday. The cattle just roam, they cause no problems, whilst the other incidents were manageabe and very rarely occurred.

LAND OF THE TIGER
This holiday exceeded all expectations. What can you say when you go on holiday hoping to see a tiger and you have the privilige of seeing ten tigers in three National Parke on twelve occasions.
Most Inspirational Moment
Watching a large male tiger for more than half an hour, walking along a track, scent marking and not perturbed by us at all. You just can,t beat that.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Harish Kumar is certainly among the best tour leaders that I have ever travelled with. His local knowledge was invaluable and his organisational skills superb. Couple that with his wildlife experience what more could you ask for.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go for it. There is so much to see and enjoy.

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - RONGAI ROUTE
Toughest but most amazing thing I’ve ever done in my life!!
Most Inspirational Moment
The week itself was challenging but more mentally than physically, until summit night which seems never ending... But once you get to the top, you feel elated.The guides and the porters are with you every step of the way and they themselves were the most inspirational part of the holiday.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The local company Exodus use in Tanzania, African Walking Company are faultless. The group leader was knowledgable, inspirational, thoughtful and if it wasnt for him and his team, many of us wouldn't have made it to the summit.The food they prepare for you on route is unbelievable. 3 course meals, 3 times a day, which gives you everything you need to keep you going. We even had fish and chips one night :) I can not thank them enough for the hard work they put in during the week.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take wet wipes :) Water for washing is sparse, so take plenty of wet wipes and hand gel.Also, the first couple of days can be quite hot, so make sure you pack shorts and a sun hat!
A TASTE OF CUBA
Great experience. Nice balance of travelling and resting.
Most Inspirational Moment
Salsa!! Learning something of the history and politics of Cuba. Seeing and hearing first hand the good, the bad and the ugly.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He was ably supported by an excellent driver who was willing to join in and help in anything we attempted.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't expect hot water in all hotels !!!! Listen to the guide and follow his instructions re anything.
DISCOVER COSTA RICA - fantastic!
The first time I have used Exodus (or any organised tour), This holiday lived up to all my expectations. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and DCR allows you to see a great cross-section – the two different Coastlines, rainforest, cloud forest, meeting local people, and of course lots of wildlife – day and night time, and a lot of birding. The accommodation was very good, the food delicious and lots of. It is a leisurely paced trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Ooh, tough question. I loved every moment of it - even the cold, wet cloud forest of Monteverde!!! - the zip lining was fantastic fun!! Tortuguero - even though we were not there for turtle season, and Esquinas Rainforest Lodge is a special place - make sure you go on the guided nightwalk . Relaxing with cocktails in the hot thermal springs near Arenal, stunning sunset in Manuel Antoinio..... the list is endless. Seeing and photographing the Resplendant Quetzal and his partner together in San Gerado de Dota was a special moment. Being with a fantastic tour group made the trip even better.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was Allan Vargas. He was great. Very personable, funny, full of information, very enthustiastic and keen to share his knowledge and the country he loves. Our driver, Geraldo, although had limited English, was excellent. Felt very safe with him a the wheel, and he had a great sense of humour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you bring as good a camera as you can afford, along with the biggest lens - I had 300mm and I would say that is the minimum. That said don't worry if you only have a compact camera, you'll still get amazing photos (and you can take it ziplining...) and you can also photograh anything seen through the guide's telescope (so you may get better photos than those of us with slrs!!) Binoculars are very very helpful too.Just enjoy the views, dont' get hung up on getting photos of everything or you may end up missing it in the first place!!
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: DOBBIACO
My enjoyment of the Dobbiaco trip never fails ; well into double figures for my visits ! Although I have covered all the routes many times they continue to thrill as the scenery is so spectacular and the skiing varied .
Most Inspirational Moment
Emerging from the tunnel into glorious sunshine for the descent towards Cortina!The thrill of the descent of the old military road .Finally succeeding in negotiating a tricky steep double hairpin spot after several failures !
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gareth was most helpful and considerate ; although we were experienced we were still able to benefit from his tips . He made every effort to ensure we got as much enjoyment in this holiday . Additionally ,he was good company socially .
Advice for Potential Travellers
Choose Dobbiaco for a great experience of crosscountry skiing with a wide variety of day routes amongst wonderful scenery. You will stay at a most comfortable friendly family-run hotel returning each day to a large dinner !
