Spectacular challenging trekking and amazing food!

This trip provides a fantastic combination of challenging remote trekking on the Salkantay section and over the Inca Chiriasca pass, the traditional Inca Trail with amazing site of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate, plus many fascinating Inca sites which were brought to life by our exceptional and knowledgeable leader, Edwind. The food on the trek was superb – big shout out to our amazing chefs – plus meals out in Cusco were a revelation, with beautifully presented, tasty options.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of the Inca Chiriasca pass in fantastic clear conditions. First sight of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate - one of those places that you've seen so many pictures of and can't quite believe you are there for real! It was all the more rewarding after all the days of hard trekking to get there.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Edwind was amazing - funny, sociable, patient, knowledgeable, calm, organised, reassuring and encouraging. I have done several high altitude treks but felt that our heath was most closely monitored on this trip, with private/discrete discussions of any health issues, monitoring of altitude symptoms and daily blood oxygen level readings (which became quite competitive!). Edwind also brought all the Inca sites we visited to life with his amazing historic knowledge. He truly made the trip the best it could be and we couldn't have asked for a better leader and guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely take walking poles - the steep steps on the Inca Trail part are something to behold! Lots of warm layers, as many have advised - yes it really does get very cold in the higher camps. Take enough pants for the trek - washing might not be easy in the cold. Earplugs - Peruvians seem to like to party and there are lots of barking dogs! Walk at your pace - you will be well looked after no matter how fast or slow.

Once in a lifetime experience

Awesome trip, a unique experience. Every aspect felt special from start to finish. Bata and his support team did everything possible to give us the best Mongolian experience. A great blend of cycling, culture and freshly cooked traditional food along the way.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cycling alongside and being in the presence of groups of wild horses, pristine lakes and glorious sunsets.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bata was great. Friendly, knowledgable, hardworking and the best possible ambassador for his country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely on the moderate/challenging scale but always allowed to cycle at one’s own pace. Most definitely worth the effort required. Pack some warm clothes and a good sleeping bag as evenings were chilly once the sun went down.

Dream safari group tour

Amazing close wildlife experience including Big Five ++. Brilliant guide, well planned tour, nice lodges, long drives but very good driver. Life lasting memories!

Most Inspirational Moment

The meeting with local polers of mokoros bringing us through the Okavango Delta to our tent camp and the two days there. And night Safari in Hwange. And many more moments 😀

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide Onary was absolutely oustanding in planning, timing, attention to everyones need, knowledge on the 2 countries and on wildlife and even birds. Turned into a chef in the Okavango delta. Best meals ever, cooked over the fire. Could not imagine any better guide!! Also Sam, our driver, was so skilled at managing the bumpy roads, always kind and keeping calm and together with Onary contributing to the the feeling of family of the group!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just lean back and enjoy every bit of these two amazing weeks. Remember warm clothes for mornings (including gloves) and smaller change for the local guides and markets.

Fabulous Trip

We went with Onary and Sam August 3 – 16, 2025.

Most Inspirational Moment

Bonfires at while camping

Thoughts on Group Leader

I have been on several tour guided holidays, I must say that Onary & Sam were the BEST. They are both well suited for these jobs! They took very good care of us and were fun to talk with throughout the holiday.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Follow the instructions on the Trip Notes that Onary provides. I missed bringing a towel.

BREATHTAKING - LITERALLY!

Ten challenging but supremely rewarding walking days, each ending in comfortable accommodations with ample time to get clean, enjoy fantastic food, rest and recover for the next adventure. Three well-spaced rest days to relax and enjoy the charming towns of Chamonix, Courmayeur and St. Gervais. Breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc massif at all angles in various conditions. Life affirming moments overcoming the Cols (mountain passes). Delightful interactions with fellow trekkers from around the world, and exposure to French, Swiss and Italian cultures. Thrilling optional activities including tandem paragliding (highly recommended) and a visit to the amazing Aiguille du Midi.

Most Inspirational Moment

Crossing the Grand Col Ferret (the highest point of the trip at 8300 feet) in clouds, then descending into the blue -sky beauty of the Courmayeur valley.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tim was THE BEST!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Train for this trip - walk daily in the boots you will be wearing. Use trekking poles to save your knees and make descents safer. Invest in good socks (wool with thin synthetic liner socks worked for me - could hand wash quick-dry liners and wear wool outer socks for several days). Bring smaller backpack - only need to carry water, waterproofs, pack lunch, phone, money and sun cream. WIFI available most hotels but consider esim plan for WhatsApp group info and photo sharing.

Lived up to expectations

We recently completed the Tour, having waited a few years after a ‘covid cancellation’ and whilst being fortunate with the weather (there were high temperatures before our trip and heavy rain afterwards), we enjoyed it immensely. The physical challenge was huge, perhaps not unexpectedly and the scenery utterly beautiful. If I could sum up our experience I’d say that our previous two major treks were in the Himalayas amongst mountains almost twice the height but this did nothing to lessen the majesty and sheer beauty of the Mont Blanc region. Any disappointments such as too much shopping for lunch and a poor hotel experience in St Gervais were minor niggles.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching Col du Tricot after the epic climb from Refuge de Miage will live long in the memory, it epitomises my belief that in the mountains, hard work brings rewards.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader Agu was as good as any Exodus leader we have had in the past. He was informative, friendly, good-humoured and well equipped with leadership skills. He would also work hard in the background on our behalf, whether providing info on day-off activities or making adjustments to our plans to suit someone in the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Train hard and pack for all conditions.

Awesome Fjord Experience

Amazing discovery of the fjords via hiking, cruise, ferry rides and mini-bus travel. The accommodations at Nes Gard and Fjaerland Fjordstove Hotel added to the spectacular hiking. Views of the fjords and farm-to-table food was amazing at both Inns. Each day of hiking was a unique experience ; all of which offered amazing views.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our most challenging hike on the 4th day with picnic lunch at Marifijora, a spectacular view of several fjords.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Flo, our leader, was a great guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating to all hikers.

Unforgettable Costa Rica Adventure – Pura Vida at its Best!

A wonderfully organised Costa Rica family adventure filled with hot springs, wildlife, and unforgettable moments — truly capturing the spirit of pura vida.

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching a sloth slowly move through the trees in its natural habitat was incredible — a reminder to slow down, be present, and appreciate the beauty around us.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was jovial, approachable, and always made sure everyone was well looked after. He kept the energy positive and the group engaged, which really enhanced the experience and he made the trip smooth, fun, and memorable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack light, bring comfortable shoes, and don’t forget a rain jacket — the rainforest really does live up to its name! Make time to relax in the hot springs, stay open to every new experience, and most importantly, embrace the pura vida lifestyle.

Botswana and Zimbabwe

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

Most Inspirational Moment

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.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent in all aspects. Knowledgeable, attentive, professional, resourceful. True leader

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't miss the opportunity (if you can) to view both the Okavango Delta (aeroplane) and Victoria Falls (helicopter) from the air

Lovely three country holiday

This was a great trip to learn about the culture and history of these beautiful countries.

Most Inspirational Moment

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.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Peter was very knowledgeable and just fantastic!!

Advice for Potential Travellers

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.
