"The estancia was spectacular. Wonderful big, light rooms in substantial brick bungalows,a very high standard of decoration and comfort. In fact attention to detail was the keynote of everything. Jane wouldn't set out in the morning until everyone and everything was just so, and the horses were superb." Peter Prendergast, February 2010 Argentina (Estancia Huechahue )Botswana
"Everything was just perfect and we had the most amazing time. We were looked after exceptionally well by everyone at Macatoo and had great fun with our fellow travellers. Many, many thanks for your and Adrian's help in organising this super trip." Will and Di Welton, October 2009 Botswana (African Horseback Safaris)Brazil
" A place to dream about, an undiscovered paradise - we loved every minute." JD 2008 Brazil (Fernando de Noronha)Chile
"The trip itself was everything one could have hoped for. The horses were superb and there was just the right amount of walking and galloping. The views were spectacular - the snow capped Lanin volcano seemed to follow us everywhere. The campsites were excellent with perfect tents and sleeping bags - warm,dry,comfortable. At the end of the day there was always a cold beer,wine or whatever to greet you when it was hot, and when it was cold, tea.coffee,cakes and always a roaring campfire. The food was excellent, provided by a dedicated team who travelled from campsite to campsite. Lunch on the move was also excellent - proper meals followed by a wonderful siesta for horse and rider! It was perfect. Wonderful, hard and at times fast and furious riding, and then at the end of the day enough comfort and good food to set you up for the next day. And Jane was wonderful. A great character who really cares about her horses and making sure everyone is happy." Peter Prendergast, February 2010 Chile (Argentina to Chile ride)Ecuador
"The holiday in Ecuador was a huge success - riding with Sally was magic - she was so efficient and arranged everything quite beautifully." Penny Lindsay-Fynn Ecuador (Colonial Hacienda ride)India
"It was a grand trip and a cultural education of epic proportions. Many thanks for a wonderful trip into yet, another wild and exotic place." Andy Lorig India (Riding in Rajasthan)Jordan
"The trip was incredibly well organised - from the driver still holding our name card at 2 am when our flight was delayed to the perfect timekeeping throughout. Our English escort always thought the details through - from cheaper lunch to what we might need. Our forward going but sensible horses were fun and easy to ride, and Atollah - our Wadi Rum guide - matched them accurately to our riding abilities. Watching the camel race, Wadi Rum-style, from the window of a 4x4 driven alongside the galloping camels was a thrilling experience. In addition, the hotels (except for the reasonable 3*in Madaba) were much better than expected for the price, rounded off with a swanky posh 5* in Amman." Jane Kotchkina & Sasha Goryunov Jordan (Explore Wadi Rum Ride)Kenya
"Our safari in Africa exceeded our wildest expectations! Tristan was the best guide and host that we could have ever asked for. The entire staff worked endlessly to keep everyone happy. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a love of horses and nature at its finest. I can’t thank you enough. I will take these memories to my grave and if I can ever do it again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment." Kathy Davis, July 2010 Kenya (Offbeat riding safaris)Mongolia
"We had an amazing trip in Mongolia. Tumee our fearless leader was outstanding and has a true passion for her country and shares it with all. The cook did a great job and all the horse boys were good as well. Overall they were fantastic as a group and I wouldn't change a thing.The campsites were perfect since they were always on a lake or running river. It was an AMAZING trip. thank you for sharing... now we need to plan for a new adventure :)" Boo Hardy, July 2010 Mongolia (Mongolian Riding Safaris)Mozambique
"We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Marlin Lodge during our honeymoon - everything was just perfect, and the staff were superbly attentive." Richard and Alice Tyacke Mozambique (Bazaruto archipelago )Namibia
"Namibia was a great success and thank you for organising our trip, it was very good. The lodges were all well equipped and comfortable and the riding was brilliant. For me Rhino Palmwag Camp was the best although Skelton Caoast Camp was very remote and probably the best landscape." William Taylor Namibia (Namibia Bespoke Travel)Russia
"I cannot recommend a trip to fish the Rynda highly enough. It is challenging fishing in a pristine environment that is simply a privilege to experience. On top of all this I doubt you will ever find a more efficient, generous and friendly host than the proprietor. It really is a very special place." Paddy Dean Russia (Atlantic Salmon in Russia)South Africa
"Professional, fab food, horses and great game. Gerti and Phillip were amazing hosts and very keen horse people. Many thanks for all your contribution to a honeymoon and holiday of a life time." Victoria Warburton South Africa (Wait a Little Safaris)Spain
"We had the most wonderful holiday in Gredos ever, just divine. The whole set up is fantastically professional, Maria Elena is a real perfectionist and nothing was too much trouble. Emilio and Carmen were brilliant too. The horses were well chosen, well trained/schooled, beautifully looked after with the most supple tack.The route was so well planned and worked like clockwork, with the white van turning up with the tapas at 12 or so, then the two hour lunch, and eventually riding into most of the hotels which was such fun. All the hotels were excellent and the owners/staff extremely helpful and friendly. I was amazed at the attention to detail in the set up, we were part of an extremely well oiled and efficient outfit such as I have never experienced before. Many thanks for organising it all so well, and also not putting the price up, I imagine you must have taken a bit of a hit with the euro." Gentian Jones Davies, June 2009 Spain (Spanish riding holidays)Tanzania
"What an absolutely beautiful, perfect and truly exciting trip you and your Wild crew put together for us. Every single detail melded seamlessly into the next meaning that we, the clients, had not one moment of anxiety ever! You may not be aware of this but we were always "assigned" the ultimate best accommodation in each camp! I think it's your good reputation that precedes you. Thank-you so much for creating such a wonderful trip for us---our best ever. I've "gone-on" enough. Thank-you, Adrian, for all your efficient, hard work." Maysie Starr Tanzania (Tanzania Bespoke Travel)United Kingdom
"Just a brief note to thank you yet again for an utterly fantastic weekend, the hotel was outstanding - excellent food, brilliant service and everything on time The birds just seem to get even better and the boys loved it for the fourth year running, making it an outstanding weekend, it really does just get better and better." Caroline Braid United Kingdom (Riding and field sports in the UK)USA
"Bitteroot Ranch was brilliant. Lovely family and Mel is English and she went to Milfield School. I was surprised to see the food was more grand as I thought we will be eating typicial American food. The chef is English. They have a large vegetable and fruit garden and also their own farm meats. The ranch is basic and we have our own log cabin with bathroom. It has plenty of hot water. Horses are well behaved. (Arabs and Quarters) They bred thier own and they must have about 200!! Wranglers are very responsible and we rode 6 hours every day. My daughter Tamara wants to go back there for the summer as a wrangler in 3 years time as most of them are British. Only hard hats to be worn on rides. We went to a rodeo and it was great fun. Some men go fishing with Mel's husband Bayard. Plently of wine and beers in the evenings. The weather had been great too." Cynthia Harrison USA (Bitterroot Ranch Wyoming)Venezuela
"Many thanks for all your efforts - I really enjoyed myself. The fishing was excellent and the Macondo food too good - I miss some 25 degrees here, we have deep frost every morning!" Ueli Zellweger, March 2010 Venezuela (Los Roques - sun, sand and fishing)Zambia
"Even now, a couple of days after my return I am looking towards a September departure back to Zambia. To a man every member of staff at Chongwe were superb, I loved the reserve and want to catch a bigger Tiger Fish." Mr Bolton, May 2008 Zambia (Tiger fishing on the Zambezi River)
