As Seen in…

The welcome we received from the lodges in Guyana was amazing and at times we felt like part of the extended family. Loved Surama and having a chance to meet the villagers, and Karanambu was an incredible place – Diane is a real inspiration. We were very lucky with wildlife sightings – jaguar, tapir and giant anteater! Would love to do it all over again. Thanks so much for arranging this for us.
