We enjoyed our hiking trip in Montenegro

We enjoyed our hiking trip in Montenegro. The guides were excellent - knowledgeable, helpful, and well-organized. The accommodations were good to great! The food and wine were locally sourced and added to the experience.

We did the Silk Road Trip by Golden…

We did the Silk Road Trip by Golden Eagle train from Almaty to Moscow in April/May this year. It was a very unusual experience compared to what we were familiar with from Wilderness Travel. We got excellent support from WT during the sign-up and planning process. The trip management itself was entirely done by Golden Eagle staff and was absolutely outstanding. Everything on the train and all excursions during the stops were meticulously prepared and executed.

I had thought WT's Wild Tasmania trip…

I had thought WT's Wild Tasmania trip would be wonderful, but the reality exceeded even my very high expectations. The variety and beauty of the island was perfectly presented with first-rate itinerary, food and accommodations. And to be guided by someone and knowledgable and passionate about Tasmania as James Fuss is made the experience truly special. James and Stewart Wheelhouse brought all the elements together flawlessly and made everyone in our group feel very well cared for. Truly the trip of a lifetime!

Amazing Morocco

Amazing Morocco
It was an amazing trip where we were able to see varied geography and cultures from the Medina of Fex to the Sahara Desert to the High Atlas Mountains to the large city of Marrakech and to a seaside town of Essouria. Two highlights for us were riding camels and staying in a tented camp in the Sahara and four-wheel backroading in the High Atlas Mountains. We were also able to see how Berber Nomads lived. The entire trip was so fun and interesting and we had a truly amazing guide, Mohammed. This was definitely a 5-star trip!

Tanzania Safari with Wilderness Travel

My wife and I went on Safari in Tanzania in February 2019 with Wilderness Travel. It was a phenomenal trip and wilderness travel got the hundreds of big and little details right virtually every time. We were two of the thirteen people on he trip and I am confident that our assessment was shared across the board. The animal viewing was off the charts, the guides were great, the food and lodging were at the same standards. The eight nights that we spent in their tent camps were the highlight. We have no hesitation recommending wilderness travel with enthusiasm.
