Leopards, leopards and yet more leopards - with cubs Another amazing week in the Masai Mara. Don't be afraid to go during the "rainy season". We had so many top quality sightings of leopards with cubs, lions with cubs, a cheetah kill and a new born elephant. Of course this cannot be guaranteed but we had very good fortune as well as maxing the time out searching for photographic opportunities. The guides were excellent and worked hard to get us into the best position for photos, whilst respecting the animals and ensuring they weren't disturbed by our presence. Lovely food and comfy tents - hot water bottles in our beds and in the jeeps were well-received.
A splendid cycling trip that really benefited from being undertaken as part of a group and with a leader. The 'group' effect is good to keep you going when you may otherwise flag, and the leader, with extensive local knowledge, takes you places that you would otherwise never find.
INCA TRAIL, TITICACA & NAZCA The best trip ever! Magnificent trek, despite heavy rain on day 2 ... the travails just added to the sense of achievement on reaching the Sun Gate. Food on trek unbelievably good - better than we eat at home - and loads of it. Superb guides at all stages, and the trail porters were magnificent - camp set up for us before we arrived, tea and hot water for washing delivered to our tents - like having a personal butler! The encouragement of the guides was truly humbling, and if any of us flagged they were there to give support. We also saw a lot of Peru, and had lots of new experiences, including dune buggies at Ica and sand-boarding for the more adventurous. This is a fun-packed trip of a lifetime - we loved every minute of it ...
