Since this trip was likely to be my last major trip overseas from the USA, I chose “The Unknown Adriatic” birds and nature tour offered by WildlifeWorldwide and led by Attila Steiner after a considerable amount of deliberation. I was looking for a tour that was reasonably priced, well organized, and with more than a single focus - not birds only but other aspects of nature as well. This tour appealed to me because it explored Montenegro - an unappreciated and unknown but biologically diverse country, with habitats ranging from sandy beaches, to salt pans, to marshes and swamps, mountain slope forests, and alpine tundra. And opportunities to appreciate native orchids in bloom as well as birds in migration.

I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I marveled at the thoroughness of travel specialist Helen Cox and her colleagues at the main office: needs, details, itinerary were all addressed clearly and promptly from my first inquiry forward. Attila Steiner is a knowledgeable naturalist and considerate leader. He developed this particular tour himself and knows the area well, as evidenced by his ability to communicate with local providers, change the schedule in response to weather, and make sure that each of us - whether new to European birds, or an old hand - was supported, engaged, and appreciated. We reviewed our birds, orchids, any herps, and butterflies each evening.

The driving - all done by Attila - was often on twisting and narrow mountain roads, but we were clearly in experienced and sensible hands with Attila behind the wheel. Accommodations and meals ranged from excellent (Mlini, Durmitor NP) to small rooms and limited menus (Virpazar). Definitely appreciated the coffee stops!

This trip more than met my hopes and expectations. I highly recommend both WildlifeWorldwide and guide Attila Steiner. Many thanks!

Another excellent trip organized by Wildlife Worldwide. As always, flights and accommodation and guide all booked up with regular updates on travel plans, so I was kept up to date all the way, which takes such a strain off trying to do things yourself. An excellent trip covering the Savuti and Nxai Pans region of Botswana. Many thanks (again) to Wildlife Worldwide for another great trip.

Recently back from a photography trip to Ngorongoro Crater and Ndutu (in the Serengeti), led by Nick Garbutt and Chris Breen, and with fantastic support from Tanzanian guides Jombi and Gerald. Fabulous sightings, including two caracals and a serval, which we'd never seen before. The joy of WW's specialist photography tours is the sheer amount of time you're out looking for things: 06:00 until c. 13:00, and then 16:00- c. 19:00 - with all those hours, you've got a great chance of seeing great stuff (e.g. two cheetah hunts, one successful, and one successful lion hunt). Logistics all carefully thought through - we are badly missing the bush breakfasts - and excellent photography tuition. Plus a lot of laughs = also important. Looking forward to our next trip (Peruvian Amazon rainforest in September).

We have just returned from yet another fabulous trip organised by the lovely Helen Cox. A tailor made tour to the wildlife rich areas of Borneo. The itinerary covered some of the best areas to find the Borneo big 5 (which we saw) on the river at Kinabatangan and then some spectacular rainforest in Tabin and Danum with dedicated, knowledgable, local guides and small group sizes for the walks so everyone gets to see! The Borneo rainforest lodge is unexpected luxury in the middle of primary rainforest and premium bungalows are very much worth upgrading to with the views across the valley and a cool private plunge pool on the balcony is very much appreciated after the jungle exploration. The itinerary worked like clockwork, even the unseasonal rain didn’t phase the great guides we had! Thank you for another memorable adventure.

One of the best guides we’ve ever had, who was passionate about wildlife and was also very personable. Having him the whole trip and also the same driver with our small group of 6 really enhanced the experience. Wildlife sightings excellent: 5 tigers over 6 sightings, 3 leopards, dhole and countless other birds etc.
Exceeded our expectations

We had an amazing holiday in Costa Rica with a small group of 8 which was perfect for a guided wildlife tour visiting 3 locations. The trip was full on but well worth it! We saw sloths, monkeys many amphibians and insects and 166 bird species!
The tour programme was very well put together and everything ran smoothly. The accommodation was excellent and the guides were first class. As a returning client I can recommend WW as a reliable, professional travel company offering excellent tours.

This was an amazing trip, greatly exceeding my expectations in terms of the accommodation and wildlife encounters - seven different tigers in nine separate sightings, a group of three dholes in four separate sightings though unfortunately just the one leopard. A huge variety of birds of all sizes as well as primates, deer species, elephants, otters (on our river safari), …. Kabini River Lodge was a great base for the seven nights - comfortable accommodation, a good variety of food and cheerful & helpful staff. I especially liked the small group size - six of us plus our local guide and a Lodge driver in one vehicle, meaning we all had the same sightings/experiences. This was my 4th WW holiday with two more already booked - excellent support from the UK staff at all stages, with nothing too much trouble for the travel consultants/advisors. Highly recommended!

Pre-departure info accurately described the trip we experienced. The holiday itself was very well organised and we felt involved in the whole Kalahari Conservation Experience. The wildlife encounters exceded our expectations both in terms of quantity and quality.

Enjoyed my 4-day tour with WWW to the Somerset Levels. It was well organised, expertly led by Mike Dilger and the accommodation was superb. It was as well organised as we could have hoped and the wildlife mostly did its part too -- not that nature can ever be controlled.

We had the most amazing trip to Canada(Vancouver and Vancouver Island) organised by Ellen.
She went out of her way to ensure all our requests were met as this was a bucket list trip for my husband's 70th birthday.
From the minute we picked up the hire car(upgraded at no extra charge) until we drove it back into Vancouver airport everything went to plan.
She organised ferries, accommodation and trips for us and we saw some amazing sights-orcas, humpback whales, bears, sea otters and much more all set amongst beautiful scenery and very friendly people.
All the accommodation, although different, was spotlessly clean, comfortable and welcoming.

I would not hesitate to recommend this company to organise a holiday... Ours was so good we're thinking of doing it again next year!

The trip of a lifetime, tailored to what we wanted to do in the Okavango Delta. Amazing wildlife seen - mammals, reptiles and birds - literally everything on our wish list to see. Wonderful Safari company - Letaka - whose staff made us very welcome and looked after us like royalty, making tent camping in a hot dry time of the year as comfortable as it could possibly be. Wonderful guide, whose ability to find some of the rarest animals to see was exceptional, and who had no difficulty identifying the abundant bird life, even the less common ones. Ending the trip with 3 nights of luxury at the Victoria Falls in the A’Zambezi River Lodge was no problem for the company to organise, and the transfers there from Kasane, and then from there to Livingstone Airport, went as clockwork.

Off-grid camping in the depths of Botswana gave the perfect opportunity to spend time with packs of endangered and rare Wild Dogs. 27 puppies and 42 adult Wild Dogs seen in one week plus cheetah, lions, elephants, giraffes... Very rarely saw another vehicle which meant our amazing guide Alex could always get us into the perfect viewing spot.
Highlight was when curious 3 month old puppies came to inspect our jeep!
food cooked over an open fire was better than most restaurants.

I have travelled with WW for a few years now and they have been consistently excellent. It is all about the wildlife, the photography and the mindful way one feels nurtured in nature.
This trip did not disappoint.There was such a huge variety of wildlife to photograph in this late spring trip. The light on the lake was superb. The organisation was excellent and every opportunity was provided to see as much of the flora & fauna which added to the wealth of sightings. Very well paced. Thoroughly, enjoyed the master classes and time to practice; time for Q and A and editing. All this was very helpful to advance my own skills. I would recommend this warm weather trip. A huge thank you to Sean Weekly who was excellent as always.

Just returned from the Somerset Levels trip with Mike Dilger and a fantastic small group. The wildlife spotted was brilliant, the accommodation and food first rate, and the leadership very knowledgeable and great fun.
As ever, the organisation by Wildlife Worldwide was first rate and the leader, Mike Dilger, was responsive to the needs and wishes of the group. It was a great trip and many thanks.

I have used Wildlife Worldwide for a number of years now and have had many trips with them. Their range of itineraries across the world is extensive.

From the initial enquiry right through to the departure documentation the attention to detail and customer focus is excellent.

While away on trips, whether led by a company guid or a local guide, the obvious passion for the location and wildlife is to the fore. On the Photography trips, the company experts are extremely knowledgeable about both the photographic elements and also the wildlife.

I have been totally satisfied with every trip I have had.

It’s the first time that I have used Wildlife Worldwide after they were recommended to me by a friend and the service they have provided was excellent. I was part of a Wildlife Worldwide group trip to Nargahole in southern India to hopefully see Bengal Tigers & Leopard & Wild Dogs and we were lucky enough to see all three and also the very elusive Sloth Bear ! There was also lots of interesting animal & bird life on the safari to keep you occupied while searching for the tigers and leopards and wild dogs. I highly recommend this company and I look forward to using their services again.

I have travelled with wildlife worldwide on several occasions, mostly to locate the world’s big (and not quite so big) cat species. They are always well organised with expert local guides who know all the key areas and seek to give you the best experience possible whilst still being respectable to the wildlife. The key to their trips is never about luxury accommodation but always about accommodation in the right location to put you at the forefront of the viewing opportunities. My experiences with all of the team has always been a positive one. A big thank you also to Helen Cox for dealing with the bookings and Helen Bryon for being a great tour leader on our recent trip.

Never having been on an organised trip such as this – Cloud Forests, Jungles & Volcanoes – in Costa Rica, I didn't know quite what to expect. I was enchanted by the country and its dramatic waterfalls, rainforests, glorious sunsets, brilliantly coloured flowers and birds (including lovely quetzals), coatis, peccaries, agoutis, red-eyed and other frogs, lizards, iguanas – all very new to me and so well spotted and explained by our expert guide Gustavo Abarco. For those who had the energy, it was also busy – up at dawn with the birds and, a few evenings, hunting frogs by torchlight at dusk, but with time to relax, too, and excellent food. Plenty of variety in what we saw and did and very good, comfortable accommodation. Though, just over a week since I got back, I'm still dreaming about what I saw.

I've just returned from a very special trip to the Pantanal in Brazil. The wildlife was amazing and the organisation spot on. Our guide Emma Healey looked after us very well. Nothing was too much trouble for her and there were laughs aplenty too. Photography tips were a real bonus and I’ve come home with some cracking shots. Thanks so much Emma and WW.

We hadn't used Wildlife Worldwide before, but they put together the most amazing holiday for us. We told them everything we wanted to see, and with four internal flights and some long drives we did just that. The organisation was fantastic - we were met at every place, and the accommodation was first rate. Lemurs on your balcony and fossas round the back of the kitchen - tremendous.
