The quality of the Exodus guides and the itineraries
Seeing the highlights of Sri Lanka and getting a real taste of the country. The cycle ride with farmhouse lunch
Absolutely first class so knowledgeable and passionate about his country. Imparted history, politics and cultural information. Had a fantastic sense of humour
This was an amazing experience and its memories will live with us for years to come. Very well looked after by the the team whose care, passion and professionalism contributed to the complete success of the trip from Chobe to Okavango Delta, from Matopos to Hwange and finally to the majestic Victoria Falls
Too many. Each day better than the one before, even when you thought that that was not possible. Elephants, hippos, rhinos and lions up close and personal. Ending at Victoria Falls was unique.
Excellent in all aspects. Knowledgeable, attentive, professional, resourceful. True leader
Don't miss the opportunity (if you can) to view both the Okavango Delta (aeroplane) and Victoria Falls (helicopter) from the air
From being met at the airport to saying good bye – a well organized trip with a super group and a guide who led us through the country and history. A real cultural delight.
Seeing an elephant herd on safari - learning about how the spices grow at the spice garden - seeing the tea factory. A big highlight, our guide managed to arrange a 1 to 1 Kandy dancing lesson for my daughter. Brilliant!
Roshan is so relaxed, organised, professional, fun, a good teacher, leader and laughs with the group. You really feel cared for as an individual and as a group, not an easy skill but then you realise he's won the exodus guide award and you can see how and why. I don't think I've enjoyed an exodus holiday as much as this is my fourth!
This was a great trip to learn about the culture and history of these beautiful countries.
Definitely taking some time off to have Fika in Gothenburg, Sweden. This is a tradition where you disconnect from all technology, sit and connect with those close to you over a nice cup of coffee and pastry. This is something I do in my real life now.
Our group leader, Peter was very knowledgeable and just fantastic!!
Pack light, a carryon and backpack is all you need. You will be carrying or dragging the luggage in between accommodations so keep it as light as possible. Wear comfortable shoes always. One big jacket for cold days should be enough and a rain coat or umbrella for rainy summer days. Dress warm if you plan to sit outside or on the top deck of the Archipelago boat. Enjoy every moment. This is a fun trip.
This trip exceeded all my expectations. The stillness and solitude of the terrain. The beauty. The glacial ascent. My first time at altitude-and I loved it. Valerie, is a very wise, steady and trusted lead-a humble holder of stories and knowledge. And great food and guides too. And a wonderful group spirit. I could not have asked for more.
The utter sense of being so small, feeling humbled by the terrain, and feeling very grateful to experience this.
Valerie was inspiring and very wise.
Go, you’ll not regret it.
Jeffry, our guide, added so much to the experience. He has a variety of interests that related to our hike and imparted them on the group as we went. His daily warmups, knowledge about local geology/botany/wildlife, ability to connect and have humor with each guest, and a passion for the natural world added more to the experience than any company could hope for.
Stopping to enjoy the views and treats from the huts along the route, especially Bonatti. Hotel Astoria and the accommodation in Les Houches were standouts. Our guide, Jeffry!
Jeffry is a standout among other excellent adventure travel guides I've had.
I’m 70. I had a yearning to see Everest since I was quite young. As I grew older, I hoped to do the trip with my sons but the length of the trip was not conducive. I wasn’t particularly fit but trained for a few months beforehand, not knowing if I could manage the amount of walking , let alone the unknown element of altitude.
Arriving in Kathmandu, the hotel was excellent and we had time to visit the old city of Thamel.
The flight to Lukla was a great experience in a small plane, next the start of the trek.
The ‘Teahouses’ along the way offered a warm convivial welcome, with varying numbers of other trekkers present. Suspension-bridge crossings, some several hundred metres long were great! We were lucky to have clear visibility and sunshine nearly every day as we progressed ever higher amid awe-inspiring scenery, expertly led by our leader Valerie Parkinson, and Nepalese guide Saroje. Our yakman Nawang took care of all our luggage except for our light daysacks.
We gazed up at Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Macalu, Pumori, to name but a few peaks. From various vantage points including the aptly named Everest View Hotel, we had excellent views of Everest with the South Summit and South Col.
We experienced at first hand the logistical marvel of how everything is transported up here; by yak, mule, dzo or porter.
Bird-life included Vultures and Golden Eagles soaring overhead, plus Tibetan Snow birds that took a fancy to my lemon drizzle cake on Kala Patthar during our final acclimatisation trek.
After taking in the Kumbhu Glacier, we reached Gorak Shep before the final push to Everest Base Camp itself. Unlike most other treks, we had ample time at Base Camp rock before the short walk to one of the expedition camps where we stayed overnight, amongst an array of camps looking like something out of a Bond movie. We witnessed a massive avalanche, and spent time on the ice shelf, truly surreal amongst the surrounding peaks.
Overall, it was tough but an utterly amazing experience, in the competent hands of our leader Valerie, a lifetime goal achieved.
Spending time at Base Camp with the group. Also attending prayers at Thyangboche Monastery
Five Star.
Don't wait. Prepare well with your fitness. Tough, but a trip of a lifetime. Julian
Great overall communication up front. Helpful and prompt. Trip info was detailed and thorough. Our guide Jef was knowledgeable, thorough, organized, engaged, and had a great sense of humour. I would travel with him again I matter what company he worked for. You have a gem in this man! Lovely accommodations and a great choice of food. Top notch on all front you guys!
We had great sunny weather for the most part, so the majestic mountain views were breathtaking. Even the two cloudy days were magical and calming.

This trip could not have been better. Everything was meticulously planned and flawlessly implemented, the lodgings were beautiful, and the itinerary was just what I wanted: wildlife-centered. The safari guides were truly super-human in their ability to track and find the animals. They seemed to communicate with them and read their moods, all the while talking quietly to us about the animals’ diet, behavior, habits, and lifespans. Because we covered some long distances, we were able to see a lot of the countryside of Botswana and Zimbabwe, and we got to go to places that I couldn’t have gotten to on my own. It was a all-around superb trip.
All the wildlife sightings were special, but maybe the highlight was seeing the white rhinos, because they are so rare. We went in on foot with 2 guide/trackers and 2 members of Zimbabwe's anti-poaching unit. I really appreciated their passion for and dedication to protecting the animals. Seeing the rhinos also completed our sighting of the Big 5, so that was truly an ecstatic moment.
Group leader Onary Chimunda and our driver Sam Mnemo were exceptional. Onary went above and beyond in getting to know everyone personally, attending to unexpected problems, and team-building. He set up a WhatsApp group chat so we could all share our best photos. Not only did he see to all the logistics, but he personally cooked for us during our 2 days camping out in the Delta. Sam cheerfully drove us through some pretty rough terrain, always with energy and good humor. We were very lucky to have them as our guides.
If you ever get the chance to go to Africa, drop everything and join this trip.
Has always been on my bucket list! Did not disappoint.
All of it. Wonderful adventure!
Jon was excellent! So knowledgeable and full of sagas, takes, folklore! Was kind and a very polite man. He made the trip!!
Plan for windy weather most of the time, good walking shoes/boots and to enjoy the moments!
