Our Expert Tour Leaders

Ashwin HP was remarkable. He had an in-depth knowledge of the place and went beyond our expectations leading a nature walk one day and arranging a spider walk one night. He was always cheerful and ready for a good laugh, showing his own excitement when we saw the black leopard. I can't speak highly enough of him. - Sally D, Nagarhole’s Tigers, Wild Dogs & Leopards

The group of travellers and guide gelled from the first day, providing a relaxed and enjoyable environment throughout. Barry Embling's knowledge and insight made for a very enjoyable holiday. It was a delight to share his enthusiasm for a multitude of other birds, flora and fauna about which his knowledge was encyclopaedic in some cases. - Christine C, Wild Pembrokeshire

David Simpson and Corine Oosterlee were excellent as usual. They are both so inspiring and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed every minute. - Janine P, Spring Birds, Orchids & Prehistory in Wild Dordogne

Our guide Disho was not just outstanding at finding wildlife he was also so friendly and helpful which added to a really memorable tour. - John B, Botswana's Wild Dogs

Ben Sutcliffe and Kevin Morgans’ photography and wildlife knowledge are inspirational, and their enthusiasm infectious. - Emma M, Skomer's Perfect Puffins

Mike Dilger was without any doubt on par with the best guides we have had in 106 countries over 40 years of world wildlife travel. His enthusiasm was infectious, his knowledge extensive and his interest in his clients shone through. He wasn't simply doing a job, he loved the job and wanted his clients to enjoy the experience too. - Stephen G, Autumn in the Scottish Highlands

Have to say that having Nick Garbutt and Alex Hyde as our tour leaders was the icing on the cake and a large part of the reason why we booked the trip was that we knew we were assured of a brilliant time both photographically and personally. They did not disappoint and many laughs were had, as well as great advice and assistance with camera techniques. - Tony E, Close-up on Alpine Nature

Bret Charman was a great tour leader. I was impressed by his knowledge, experience and manner, and I would happily go on another trip with him again. - Lisa B, Mana Pools: Wild Dogs & Elephant Photography

I cannot rate Terry Goble highly enough, his knowledge and enthusiasm made my trip a great experience. - Annette P, Butterflies & Birds of Sussex

Ed Hutchings was excellent and helpful. His knowledge is first class, his manner is friendly and fun. A lovely guy, who worked with the experienced birders in the group and was very encouraging when we made ID suggestions. - Jill T, Norfolk in Late Summer

Emma Healey and Chris (the local leader) were both excellent and worked together superbly to get us the best sightings and photographic opportunities. We had some of the best experiences of our life with Emma in Zambia which means a lot to us as we have visited Africa many times. As a newbie photographer with a new DSLR, Emma was so patient and encouraging.  David N, South Luangwa Photo Safari

Nick Baker is brilliant - very knowledgeable and skilled, of course, and also so much fun to spend time with. I was impressed that he is able to balance being a focused naturalist with a compassionate host. I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide to anyone. - Fiona W, Deep into Dartmoor

I cannot thank you enough for organising such a mind-blowing trip to Botswana. I simply could not believe how many amazing encounters with animals that we had and being able to watch their behaviours and interactions was just stunning. Dan Free was a fabulous leader and made this trip so special. His attention to detail and professionalism was outstanding. Nicola D, Okavango Delta Safari

We enjoyed absolutely everything. The trip was amazing well-organised, planned and led thanks to Nick Joynes. Stephanie D, The Delta Circuit

This was a small, friendly group tour. The tour leader, Sean Weekly was enthusiastic, helpful and extremely informative, imparting tips and techniques to ensure you could make the most of this wonderful opportunity. He was very encouraging and engaging with each member of the group. He had a very good rapport with the local guides and together, they worked hard to provide the best experience possible. Lee D, Pelicans of Lake Kerkini

Loved every minute of it from being spoilt at Tarkuni, lovely companions and Helen Bryon was a superb tour leader. Very hard to pick out one particular aspect of this excellent tour. Christine L, South Africa's Rare Mammals in Style

Enjoyed everything, but in particular the beluga trip with Mark Carwardine and Chris Breen. I've found that the Mark Carwardine holidays are always fabulous, and this was no exception. Many thanks too to Chris Breen for all his input. - Mark S, Galapagos Exclusive

Nick Mackman was AMAZING! Learned a lot from her! Her passion and knowledge regarding the animals are exceptional. Looking forward to attending more workshops. Gamze K, South Luangwa Wildlife Art Safari

Our guide John Muddeman was very good and went as far as he could to keep us all satisfied with the trip. It was very beneficial that he is a fluent Spanish speaker. We enjoyed seeing the lynx several times & also other species, especially the mammals. - Ken G, Iberian Lynx Quest

The trip had a wonderful team of leaders in terms of their experience, professionalism and their friendliness - it felt like a big family. The organisation and care from the whole team made for an unforgettable experience in an unforgettable place. Thank you so much for making this possible. - Lynn M, Festival of Wildlife
