South East Asia Wildlife Trips

Explore always employs local guides in the places you visit. Always exceptionally planned tours and attention to detail. My 10th trip with Explore because I find them very organised and informative from the moment I book. I was recommend to Explore from people who had completed over 30 trips ... that says alot about this Company .

Phenyo was an amazing guide a tracker a great leader / guide really upbeat happy and positive an unbelievable knowledge of all animals and birds how lucky we were to have him as our guide

Contiki really do know how to put an incredible itinerary together, but the Africa Team takes this to a whole other level. The Garden Route and Addo is such an immense blend of the culture, landscapes and adventure that make this specific region of South Africa special. From the rolling hills of award winning Cape Town wineries and the culinary melting pot of different cultures coming together, to the sprawling penguin colonies and incredible communities of the townships, no matter if you’re a diehard foodie, adrenaline nut, serious history enthusiast or animal whisperer, this trip really has everything you could ever ask South Africa for. Special shout out to the TM Luke and driver Pete. If you’re fortunate enough to be in their presence, relish it, they are truly incredible individuals that encompass all what Contiki is about. My only regret? Not booking the entire Sea Safari South Africa trip, if you can do it all, you must!

The trip overall was a great experience, one that I’m glad was planned out for me. The sheer amount of paper work, entry points and what not would be a complete hassle to do and figure out. So all the efforts of the guide was really appreciated. There were definitely locations where we all wished we had maybe a smidge more time in but the trip was overall well planned and now it’s a spot on my list I’d want to go back to and spend even more time at. One thing I will say though is that the pamphlet shared before the trip made it seem like you could only bring a large suitcase and a backpack or small hand bag but having a carryon was definitely possible, even on the smaller flights without extra charge and that may reduce down some of the weight off your back or large bag. But overall better to try to minimize as much as possible with the amount of moving around that’s done on this trip. Definitely a trip of a lifetime!

This was my first Exodus trip and it was a wonderful two weeks exploring Costa Rica with a small group of 7, our fantastic guide Guillermo and excellent driver Carlos. Two nights in each location, very different landscapes. We saw a huge number of creatures and an amazing 174 species of birds. Great hotels and excellent airport pick up in San Jose. This holiday was fabulous!

This tour was everything I dreamt of and more. KK our tour guide/driver/organiser was just fantastic. How he drove through the flooded national parks without getting bogged I’ll never know. He was so knowledgeable about the animals and birds we saw and never became impatient at our questions and how long we stopped to see the animals and birds. The sighting of the cheetah and two cubs found by KK before any other safari vehicles arrived was extraordinary. I also really enjoyed the travelling to and from the national parks watching the daily life of the Botswanian people. It’s a challenging trip as you are in a safari vehicle for hours at a time but if you really want to immerse yourself into wildlife viewing you couldn’t ask for more.
