Memorable parts?
Seeing the wild bison
Tips?
Be willing to be sociable and make the most of the opportunities to see the wildlife, even if it means getting up very early. Be respectful of the rules and the rest of the group and follow the clothing rules (as some of our group did not do!)
Local benefits?
Yes. It was nice to have a small group and get to know the local guides who were personable and extremely knowledgeable.
Overall rating?
Great, although I would... (more)Sarah Bascombe

Going over the sand dunes and staying in gers or in tents in what seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and then a herd of goats and sheep comes along.
(more)Josephine Tanti
Climbing the 'Singing Sand Dunes' (Khongoryn Els) at sunset was amazing! It was a big effort to make it to the top, but we were rewarded with once-in-a lifetime views over the vast sand dunes and Gobi Desert while mother nature turned on a spectacular pink and purple hue. (more)Lynette Smith

I loved it all I'm glad that I took extra days for the city of Ulaanbaatar. You need to see both sides of the Mongolia. Like in all places of the world life has to move on. (more)C E Barker
The landscapes of Mongolia and the night sky. (more)Judith Petrie

The wonderful variety of wildlife and the magnificent beauty of the Namib desert (more)Clare Price
Truly excellent! There was a good mixed group of people, but overall our guides, Jeff & Tawanda, really made the trip as good as it was. They worked hard,
were up first, and to bed last. Always cheerful and smiling, full of information about the regions we were traveling through, the animals and people. (more)Danila Mansfield

From

We saw places we never would have thought of on our own and everywhere we stayed was either a great hotel or in a beautiful setting or, most often, both. (more)Jane Colman
The most memorable was snorkelling in Silfra and exploring Reynisfjara Beach. We got really lucky and had 100% sunshine and 0 precipitation the entire 45 days we were there. (more)Charles Ross
It didn't get off to a great start but overall it would have to have been one of the best vacations my wife and I spent together. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will
cherish the memories forever. (more)Scot Skellham

The trip to the wilderness cabin was great fun. Really enjoyable to be able to spend the night out there. Chopping wood, fetching water from the well and a
traditional wood-fired sauna were all part of the fun. It was a fantastic week. Our guide, Janne, was great. He went the extra mile to adjust things to suit the mix of people on the tour and local conditions. (more)Christopher Lynch
It's hard to choose one memorable moment - I had a lovely time with the small team of ladies and the hospitality from our guide Mika, and our chef Harri was phenomenal! All the activities were great, and the food was delicious. (more)Nita Losoponkul

From
US $8,400

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?
Supported conservation and the spoonbill sandpiper project. I suppose that we provided some income for the people in the towns in which... (more)Marian Herz
From
£1,440

Memorable parts?
All of it.
Tips?
Hotel information was not as good as it could have been. Many of the hotels did not do food and that could have created a problem over xmas & new year. Also some did not take credit cards.
Local benefits?
Yes.
Overall rating?
Excellent.

The absolute highlight was the private Salkantay trek. We loved the trekking through the beautiful mountain landscape far away from the crowds, with absolutely amazing crew of the local agency: our great guide Elvis who strived to provide us with the real Andean hiking experience, and our fabulous cook Cezar who spoiled us with fantastic 3-course vegetarian meals!
Tips?
Our trip was tailor-made; for such a trip it's important to list your 'must see' places but also... (more)Agnieszka Opalska
From
US $3,125
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing Komodo dragons, manta rays and turtles in the wild, visiting local villages in Flores, particularly Wae Rebo which is only accessible after a 10k hike.
Tips?
1. Going out of season isn't a bad idea. We went in late October/early November and it was great as there were less tourists around. Although it's the start of rainy season, it didn't impede our trip at all. I imagine some places (such as Komodo/Rinca islands) are crazy in peak season.
2. Check the best... (more)Mariam Conway
From

Memorable parts?
So many highlights - cantering across valley floors, playing traditional games on horseback, visiting local people, seeing petroglyphs from the Stone and
Bronze ages and of course, visiting the Eagle festival.

take your breath away. (more)Moira Izzard
From
US $2,759
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Hiking the Iceline trail in Yoho National Park. Seeing grizzly and black bears by the roadside.
Tips?
The pace of this vacation is a bit frenetic and there was very little 'down time'. Days started early and every minute was taken up with hiking, cooking for the group (of 16 in our case) and washing up, putting up or taking down tents and
traveling between destinations, but, despite the hard work, it was one of the best vacations I've ever had. Truly fabulous group... (more)Christabel Owens
From
£1,999
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The cold that first night. The sandstorm. Racing across the desert at 100 km/h. The Nouakchott fish market.
Tips?

Local benefits?
Local people definitely benefited from our spending on hotels, restaurants & souvenirs.
Overall rating?
A couple of hiccups which were to be expected; otherwise FABULOUS. (more)Richard Hicks
From
US $4,298
including domestic flights only
Memorable parts?
Kayaking around the icebergs in Ilulissat and seeing the humpback whales breach.
Tips?
I would highly recommend the kayaking trip if you are reasonably fit and flexible. I did it as a 70th birthday gift to myself and loved every minute of it.
Local benefits?
Definitely all of the above.

Memorable parts?
White water rafting on the clear Tara River, stopping off for a beer at a riverside bar on the Bosnian side. The local honey served everywhere in the north
and the fresh pomegranate juice in the south. Friendly hosts who always lay on far too much food! Staying in a quite hamlet near Pluzine, getting a taste of
rural life, watching the cows being milked in the garden amongst the fruit trees and bee hives. The dramatic Prokletije National Park, where few tourists
go, but... (more)Joanna Simmons

Memorable parts?
My most memorable activity was actually my first where I returned a greeting to a baboon as indicated by the guides, I later had to endure a grooming from one of the baboons. The most exciting part was heading to the Big Daddy sand dune in Sossusvlei. Kind of what I always imagined an adventure to be.
Tips?
Two weeks is not enough, to get the most out of your time at this project you'll need to be there at least a month and then there's the other sites to consider.... (more)Stephen King
