We did a little of everything trip was not rushed and the tour guide was excellent. We visited ruins and had a great interpedation we swam in the river at the waterfalls had a boat trip with lots of birds. The cooking school was fun and educational and snorkelling and visiting the island was amazing. Tour group was the right size.
Mixture of hotels as per say with Explore, from full electricity to an African Hut lit by candle light. Please note accommodation is very basic compared to Western standards which Assan stressed to the group on the first day of the trip.
As mentioned in the itinerary there is a heavy emphasis on the bird life and the majority of trips are geared towards the birds. If birds are your thing then this is a trip for you.
The guide Assan is an excellent & enthusiastic birder with a comprehensive knowledge of the birds from The Gambia & Senegal.
Assan is a very open and honest guide & will relay his personal experiences of his own village life in The Gambia.
Driver Cering was excellent & ensured we were all safe & comfy on the long journeys on the bumpy African roads.
Bottled was provided on the bus along with regular local fruits.
Food wise, a lot of enthesis on fish cooked and served whole.
I am a vegetarian non fish eating and with help from Assan I never went hungry.
Local children enjoyed the sweets the group brought from the U.K.
Great taste of Thailand! Still managed to cover a lot of interesting places. Sek was an absolute legend, super organised and knowledgeable and made the entire experience an absolute breeze.

Natallie was an amazing lead, she was wonderful during the entire journey, the hotels that we stayed at were nice as well. Overall a very good experience.
Totally amazing guide and driver. We had such a great time exploring the beautiful Cape Verde with this tour.
The cooking experience in a traditional home was a wonderful experience.
Our guide spoke awesome English and was so knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommend.
Ines, Fatima and Koffi tried really hard under very difficult circumstances to make this trip a success. Very fulfilling trip with many interesting sites and experiences. I highly recommend it.

This 15-day trip immerses you in the must-sees, must-tastes and must-meets of beautiful Sri Lanka. You’ll summit UNESCO World Heritage-listed Lion Rock in Sigiriya, cycle through sprawling ancient city ruins in Anuradhapura and wander the massive granite Buddha carvings in Polonnaruwa. Have lunch with a Tamil tea worker in their home, relax with a cold beer and your feet in the sand in Mirissa and hike between plantations and villages in Haputale. This is the best of Sri Lanka!
Excellent holiday, thoroughly enjoyed the week. Five hikes with a variety of sights and different terrain. The Chalet Savoy is a perfect base for this trip and size of group. Food was fantastic (thanks Elaine) and wonderful tour guide Oliver (except the jokes).
I have now completed 4 intro tours, and each trip just gets better! We have just finished the Philippines tour, and the expeditions are out of this world, but what made this trip stand out most was our tour guide Zoe! she always went above and beyond, to make sure everyone was catered for and having the best time. Zoe was full of knowledge and ideas, and had more patience than I thought was possible. I would redo this trip all over again if possible with Zoe! I highly highly recommend this trip if you;re an adrenaline seeker, and looking to have a once in a life time trip
