Wow what a week, we had a fantastic time, Eki was an excellent guide, the food was great, scenery stunning and the activities were brilliant. Only downside was no Northern Lights but still a great week to remember and the weather can’t be helped.
The trip highlights were the snowshoe trip to Castle Rocks and Dog Sledding.
Eki was a great group leader and made the week go very smoothly and we always felt informed as where we needed to be and when.
Take your own baselayers, hat and gloves - essential to keep warm. Be ready for an active week!
Just thought I’d respond to Heidi’s comment that people should be prepared to help out if you are to keep to your schedule: On a previous trip (Nambia) our guide Maxwell TOLD US OFF for helping: "This is a fully serviced camping trip – it is what you pay for." And this is the case for the J’burg to Cape Town trip. You don’t need to help. The crew are well-drilled and operate like clockwork when clearing camp. Yes, of course you can help with stacking a few chairs etc. but more often than not it is the guests that hold things up. Another gem from Maxwell, and taken on too by Sifiso, our South African guide – "A packed bag is you pass to the breakfast table!" And how well that works. It was often the case that guests were so busy helping out clearing camp that we were held up and had to wait for THEM to pack their bags. No problems with the schedules – all you have to do is make sure that YOU are ready. (A great trip which I could readily do again.)
Mind blowing whistle stop trip. Brilliant guide, no where in the world can prepare you for Rajastan, it is unique.
Seeing a tiger at 50 mtrs in Rathanbore and sitting beside her for 15minutes.Friendly and communitive peopleHeritage Guest HousesRanakpur temple carvings and Mogul minature paintings in JodhpurBundi and chittagarth as an example of real India,of the tourist trail
Absolutely brilliant, So enthusiastic and informative. Phased by nothing,took everything in his stride.Arranged additional trips to cooking lessons and a bollywood film. Also a cultural evening in Udaipur
If you are travelling as a couple make sure both names are on your travel/flight documents otherwise the security will not let you into Delhi Airport.Recommend sticking to a diet of Indian food.Go with the flow and abandon all pre-concieved ideas.
A holiday that exceeded all expectations. Stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, a great team and a superb boat and crew
Seeing that being a penguin parent is true dedication!
"Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape....." A quote from a member of the group that sums up Woody. Excellent does also.

Had a brilliant time. The leader was superb and the tour all encompassing.
The whole trip was inspirational so much to see and do - still trying to take it all in. Coming down from Lions Rock in a tropical storm soaked to the skin but warm; being brave enough to do white water rafting - only grade 3 but enough for me! Riding an elephant , seeing crocodiles in Yala, friendly locals waving as we drove past, the excitement of seeing the golden casket in the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy and so much more.
Sujan was an excellent leader - very knowledgeable, friendly and kept us in order!
Take plenty of loose cotton clothing. There's only one cool night and the hotel offer you hot water bottles. Insects weren't a major problem at least not with 50% Deet insect repellent. Some of the coach journeys are long and winding so take travel sickness tablets if you need them.I changed £160 at the airport and a further £60 in Kandy - that was plenty unless you want to buy jewellery in the gem factory! Do as many of the optional extras as possible and have fun.
A great chance to see spectacular mountain and coastal landscapes, away from the crowds of the big towns, and generally on quiet roads with little traffic apart from the occasional donkey!The trip gave us a good taster for Morocco, and left us wanting to come back again to discover more of the country.
We had the chance to talk to members of a womens' cooperative near Essaouira, who were producing products from Argan oil. This provided them with a level of independence unusual in the traditionally male dominated Moroccan society.
Andy, our leader, made sure that at all times, all members of the group were ok, and quickly sorted out any issues relating to bikes or accommodation.
This was my second trip with Exodus, and both times my expectations have been exceeded-if you have not used Exodus before, do so soon-you will have a great time, and many memories to treasure.

Adventure, excitement,and a challenge, parcelled up with stunning scenery. A bit like living in an Indiana Jones film.
Sunset on Nuptse.
Ace!
Don't wait. Remember my motto..... Adventure Before Dementia.
Amazing experience with the gorillas that will stay with me forever.
The scenery and wildlife was beautiful but the gorillas were the highlight and a real privalege to spend time with
Helpful, pleasant and accommodating
Uganda seems almost new to tourism so chill and go with the flow
This is a fantastic and unforgettable trip, made a pure delight by the kindness of the guides/porters and the humour of my fellow travellers. It is tough but that is what makes it feel like such an achievement.
It's difficult to pick one moment. Personally, I loved the summit climb. I was lucky that I didn't really feel any ill effects from altitude on that day and I knew from around 5,000m that I was going to make it. The guides are the most inspirational aspect of the trip. You have to walk at your own speed and they will support each individual. I had to go ahead of my sister but you KNOW your loved ones will be looked after so you can concentrate on your own journey. It may sound selfish but you will only have enough grit to get yourself up and being able to utterly trust your guides makes that decision easy.
Passian was our guide and I trusted him completely. That said, ALL the guides were lovely. Diglan, Christopher, Richard, Ronald and Nelson were our team, and they were all great to chat to. They will solve literally any problem you have, with bags, poles, sunglasses... They were always there to hold things, help with things - and let them! They are much better at this than us so be gracious and appreciative.
There is lots to think about but mostly, as everyone says, listen to your guides and take things slowly. I was surprised that the walk/altitude is hard RIGHT from the start. Definitely take some snacks. We had isotonic sachets for the summit night which were great as you don't really feel like eating. Remember sunscreen - particularly on your hands! I would also say don't panic if you start feeling the ill-effects of altitude. Most of us felt terrible at some point but most of us made it up. Just discuss everything with the guides. I felt very nauseous at Mawenzi Tarn (4,330m) but after drinking ANOTHER 1 litre of water and a rest I felt better. I was offered Diamox and I took it because I didn't want that nausea to come back and I never looked back!
