This was the most fantastic vacation. I was not that keen on going, but my husband is a very keen birder and he really wanted to go. I am now so glad he persuaded me, and will definitely visit Sri Lanka again... (more)John Diley
This was a really excellent vacation. We had fun, we were stimulated, we were educated and we made good friends with our locals who showed us their country. We also feel that we had excellent value for money with two locals, a new vehicle, most meals, all entrance fees and other extras included for a very inexpensive daily rate. (more)Keith Pigdon

For us the nature based activities and birdwatching were tremendous. We had some really good guides and got to see tigers and a leopard which is very rare. The people, the culture and the environment were very exotic to us. (more)Dianne Reidy
Seeing the Taj Mahal at Sunrise is an unforgettable event in our lives. Many special rare species of birds seen on our Birding Himalyan tour...Superbly organised.

house. Watching fruit bats fly over the lake at Kandy.

Memorable parts?
Early morning when we saw an Elk very close by. The whole ambience including the mist made the sighting a memorable one.
Tips?
Be prepared to wake up very early in the morning and stay late at night if you want to see certain species such as the bison and the elk. Wild animals are
unpredictable and we were lucky to see the elk the first morning we started to look for them whilst it took us 3 days to finally see the bison.
Local benefits?
To enter certain... (more)Richard Cachia Zammit

The tea plantations are photogenic in a very special way: so impossibly green in the sun. Walking in the forests near Periyar was like being in heaven: in the shade, beautiful birds, no other people around and with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. (more)Christopher Smith
The vacation could not have gone any smoother and our thanks to Thomas for recommending the wonderful Graman Homestay for a break before our bird watching trip began. We more or less just sat in the garden and relaxed whilst Jos and his wife looked after us and gave us some wonderful food. Different Kerala dishes every day.

Memorable parts?
Seeing the ribbon seals, the northern right whale and the spoonbill sandpiper.
Tips?
Be prepared for lots of walking on the tundra. Also understand that the ship does not have stabilizers so even a mild swell rocks the ship. Bring a good layering system as temperatures and ice conditions can vary greatly.
Local benefits?

Memorable parts?
The trips to see the oilbirds at Asa Wright and the roosting scarlet ibis and egrets in Caroni Swamp were highlights, but seeing hummingbirds, toucans and
parrots from the veranda and the sheer beauty of the islands made it a trip to live long in the memory.
Tips?
The organised excursions were varied and very worthwhile, especially as the guides were so knowledgeable. However, there was still time to explore alone, so
we were very glad we'd taken a bird ID guide... (more)Debra Jones

Memorable parts?
This whole vacation was brilliant. We enjoyed every minute of it. The wildlife is amazing.

Local benefits?
Our vacation definitely benefited local people. All of the lodges and the airline are locally run. I loved that the lodges only cater for... (more)Sherry Koina

exceptional tour guide (more)Denise Sparrow
Just back from 10 days in St Lucia, and all of it was great. Every one was so friendly, and the country side is stunning. We are not experienced birdwatchers, but we loved the trips out to see the birds as it meant spending time out in the
countryside and chatting to our guides and learning about St Lucia. (more)Michelle Jenkins

Just what I needed! Plenty of wildlife around, the spotted flycatcher leaping through the garden was great, several species of dragonfly by the ford and several hummingbird hawkmoths feeding on the lavender by the pool, all to the tune of blackbirds, turtle doves and a Cetti's warbler! (more)Nigel Scott
Both my husband and myself loved our week. Lazing by and in the pool late afternoon was lovely and the weather was hot. Being able to walk littlle or miles or not at all, was good -there is no compulsion to be super active, though you can!
If you want to be totally catered for and live in verdant peace for a week, but have company too-this is the place for you! (more)Clare McKee
Excellent. It was not a thrills and spills vacation, just a quiet retreat where you are looked after. And if that is what you need, this is a place for you. (more)Tina cook

The boat trip on Lake Kerkini was wonderful and provided great views of the thousands of birds there. Also a number of unexpected moments as our guide found unusual birds like Spur Winged Lapwing, Stone Curlew and Penduline Tits. A memorable few days - didn't want to come home. (more)Richard Aubery
The trip as a whole was memorable: well organized and all the expectations were met! Traveling around the lake with the good guide and the nice boat trip to
check out the pelicans was an exciting experience (more)Wilco Veldhuizen

Most memorable was walking through the Amazon with one of the Sani guides (whose father happened to have established the Sani Lodge), in the rain, through the mud, finding the most incredible birds, reptiles, insects and plants. (more)Julia Saurazas
The tapir emerged from the forest and remained at the clay lick drinking water for an extended period of time. Simply remarkable. (more)Robert Roberto

Seeing so many wonderful birds so close.
Tips?
Go for it and make sure you pack some sum tan lotion and sun glasses.
