SURAMA ECO-LODGE

AUTHENTIC AMERINDIAN LIFESTYLE

The best way to understand a country and discover its hidden natural treasures? Live with local people in their village, and let them show you their wildlife and forest.

Whether you’re being welcomed to the village by singing children, or slipping almost silently along the river in a canoe, on the lookout for giant otters and the elusive jaguar, you will be experiencing the authentic Amerindian lifestyle.

RUPUNUNI, GUYANA

A REAL MAKUSHI COMMUNITY

Surama Village is a real Makushi community gathered into a traditional village and dedicated to sustainable eco-tourism; ensuring that the wonders you see as you explore the untouched rainforest and savannah are preserved for others to enjoy in the future.

And what wonders they are. Four different species of indigenous monkeys. Over 500 different varieties of noisy, spectacular – or rare and secretive – birds have been recorded here, 72 of them endemic to the Guyanan Shield. And then there are the giant anacondas, tapir, river otters, jaguar and capybara.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”

Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”

Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. The Ultimate Travel Company were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.
