    Our Unforgettable Experiences pages are written by Tribes clients. They tell us in their own words what they really felt about the things they did and places and people they met on their holidays with Tribes. Hopefully this will help you when it comes to trying to decide where to go and what to do.

    We'd like to thank everyone who takes the trouble to write one of these Experience reviews for us. This is a new part of our website since February 2010, and we hope they will be added to quickly over the coming months.

    5. Would not have missed it, but just slightly disappointing after the ease of wildlife viewing in the Pantanal. So difficult to see birds at a high level even with good binoculars.

    5. Boat trips and treks all resulted in fantastic birding with plenty of other wildlife to see

    5. You have to go to really understand its magnificence,the facts, the fiction, the heat, the smells and the memories for life.

    5. Much better to go to a small river like this (as wide as the Thames in London in some places) where you are in touch with everything instead of the Amazon or Rio Negro near the awful sounding Manuas where the rivers are 1 kilometer wide, used as a busy thoroughfare. Here we had a wildlife reserve as well as complete peace & quiet. No mains electricity, just a generator twice a day, no roads, motorbikes, cars, aircraft, streetlights, no noise except monkeys, cicadas, macaws & parrots. No choice of restaurant though. Just joking.

    5. Rain forest does exactly what it says on the tin! So lots of rain - sometimes heavy - we had to bail out the canoe on our way back to Napo one afternoon, which added some excitement!
      We saw lots of birds, and monkeys, though often at a distance, which could be frustrating for photographers. The rain forest is a truly beautiful place, and paddling gently down the stream as the light faded, and the glowworms appeared, watching bats fly over the water and listening to the frogs call, was a magical experience.

      Had a whale of a time!

    5. We were concerned about the journey time to the lodge, but when we changed to the small dugouts and had the 2 hour journey to the lodge we were in fact looking at and stopping to spot wildlife, so it was, in effect, part of our experience of the rainforest, and as the boats were paddled, it was restful too, after the noise of the outboards on the motor canoes.
