The trip was perfect and one I will never forget. Every day was filled with worthwhile activities—there was never a dull moment! One of the best was seeing the orangutans in the reserves and in the wild. I was extremely touched by their gentle nature. Two “rogue” orangutans came very close to us, and it was beautiful and exciting. It also offered us a fantastic opportunity for good photos! Our Expedition Leader was very enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and I really feel fortunate that he was our guide. All of the accommodations were terrific and exceeded my expectations. I was extremely happy with Nat Hab during the entire journey, and I am very excited to book future trips with you. I am also grateful for the level of service and commitment to the animals and environment!

So many highlights: Seeing a pair of condors circling overhead, the hanging gardens of Zion, the hike from Bryce Point back to the lodge and many more. With credit to Will Rogers: The best way to see what God made is on the back of a horse. The second-best way is with Nat Hab!

Animal sightings are always my favorite, and I spent an hour watching mule deer graze at Zion Lodge! The Riverside hike in Zion and the North Rim hikes were also great. I also want to call out our Expedition Leader: We had my 17-year-old nephew with us, and Arthur was so great at encouraging, looking after and ensuring his safety. I cannot overstate how grateful we are to him and to Nat Hab!

It is indescribable to see wildlife in the true wild! I don't know how our Expedition Leader did it, but he found a flanged male orangutan along the river—no other boats were there, and if he had been 5–10 feet more inland, we never would have seen him. The Danum Valley is also indescribable; being there really puts life in perspective.

The whole trip was spectacular! If I were to choose one highlight, it would be our last morning in Zion when our Expedition Leaders took us on a walk by the river and gave us the opportunity to sit quietly by ourselves to contemplate and enjoy the beauty and sounds around us. Both ELs were exceptional guides as well as excellent photographers and great teachers. The new vans are great—very comfortable and roomy, with plenty of space for camera gear.

This trip was a great balance of hiking, walking, driving and photographing—even a helicopter tour! The telescopes for astrophotography provided a great opportunity to see and photograph things I hadn't before. Our Expedition Leader was very attentive to everyone's needs and frequently checked to make sure we were getting the photos we wanted and offered help as needed. I appreciated Nat Hab’s approach of immersing us in the environment by staying in iconic park lodges rather than traditional hotels. The Nat Hab vans were excellent, equipped with hand sanitizer, binoculars, towels, snacks and drinks, making for a comfortable journey. Each of the three parks was fabulous and unique. It’s hard to choose a favorite because everything was first class—exceptional food, iconic accommodations and comfortable transportation.

This safari was fantastic—beyond all expectations. We had multiple tiger sightings, one directly walking in front of us, a mother and cubs, and a male and a female. We also saw sloth bear and hyena, and many birds and ungulates, mongoose, wild boar, peacocks, owls, monitor lizards, sambar, antelope, and more. Our Expedition Leader was extremely knowledgeable and personable; I had been told by Indian acquaintances that India can be overwhelming, but with our EL guiding us, I was completely relaxed and was able to fully enjoy the adventure.

This was my first Nat Hab trip, and it set the bar so high. Our Expedition Leader was knowledgeable, kind, fun and accommodating. We enjoyed out-of-this-world food the entire time. This was the trip of a lifetime, and I cannot wait to book another one!

This was the trip of a lifetime! Everything was 10/10: unbelievable drivers and vehicles, out-of-this-world Indian food, and of course, the spectacular wildlife. This was my first Nat Hab trip, and our Expedition Leader set the bar SO high. She was knowledgeable, kind, fun and so accommodating. I cannot wait to book another one!

The whole trip was awesome: being so close to wildlife on land and in the water, our excellent guides, the camaraderie among guests and staff, and the magnificent setting. The historic hotel in Quito and the ship were both magnificent, with lots of delicious food choices that included local fare and refreshments upon return from land or sea adventures! Snorkeling (five times) was spectacular, as was seeing so many iguanas, birds, turtles, rays, tortoises, penguins, flamingos, sea lions, etc., in so many different settings throughout the week. Nat Hab's Tortoise Camp was an extra-special excursion. The conservation work being done was also terrific to see.
