WILDLIFE ADVENTURE
You scan the dark shadows on the banks on either side of you. Will the Amazon’s top predator, the black jaguar, be drinking at the waters edge? Your guide directs your gaze towards a sloth, perfectly camouflaged in its tree bough.
Back on the observation deck of the Aria, you relate your experiences with fellow explorers. They didn’t spot a sloth, but they’ve seen any number of dazzling birds – macaws and parrots and even the rare Harpy eagle. After an excellent dinner, accompanied by sundowners and sunset over the Amazon, you’ll turn in and dream of more adventures on the morrow.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
