What people are saying who have travelled with us…

  • “I can 100% attest to the fact that this amazing experience is a thrill for both photographers and non-photographers alike. Andy’s knowledge, insights, and connections in the community make this an unparalleled opportunity. As a non-photographer who simply wanted to experience these magnificent gorillas in their natural habitat, it was incredible and I felt lucky to have Andy as our leader.”

  • "Seeing wild Gorillas is a truly magical experience. But what elevates this trip to the very highest level is not just Andy’s usual organizational efficiency, but the clear, deep mutual trust and respect between Andy and the park staff. When a guide runs across the field to greet Andy like a long lost friend, you know you are in good hands. A memorable trip that once again delivered the very best."

From the quality of the transport, the accommodation and the guides, to the overwhelming experience with the gorilla groups, the trip could not be faulted. I’d recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience wild mountain gorillas in their natural environment."

  • After the white knuckle Gypsy driving of Ramthambore and multi person pileins on the Pantanal boats, this is a different pace of a trip. Many, many birds large and small, bright colours and dark which at times are all around you giving you the time to compose your photos far better. The slower pace gave more access to Andy and Suzies expertise to really develop my skills. The locations and scenery are spectacular, and excellent local guiding going the extra mile.

  • Birds, birds, birds, from the tiniest hummingbird to the majestic Andean Condor. Breathtaking landscapes, cosy lodges, delicious food, everything was perfect. Andy, Suzie and Luis made the trip very special, they were always ready to answer our questions about photography and wildlife., brought us to the best locations when the light was perfect. I learned a lot from Andy and Suzie on this trip. And we had good laughs too..

  • My recent trip with Andy Rouse and Jamie Peters was a fun and informative 12 days exploring a part of India that was new to me - from planning what to put in my luggage and camera bag to the end of the trip and returning home. The choice of the lodges was inspiring - run on an eco and environmental basis, utilising home grown produce from their organic kitchen gardens and sourcing locally the food they could not produce themselves. The 3 Reserves we visited were all slightly different in their habitat and gave you opportunities to see some rare mammals including Dhole (Wild Dogs), Leopard and Tigers as well as many species of deer, birds and primates. The tour was extremely well organised by Andy and his team and ran smoothly. With Andy and Jamie's extensive experience of Indian wildlife we managed to get sight of all our target species especially a short time with a very elusive Leopard. They directed the drivers to positions so we could get great pictures and the local guides were brilliant. The highlight of the trip for me? Well it has got to be the Dhole and the male Tiger bathing up to his neck whilst falling asleep - that was magical!

  • "As soon as I read the description for the India Explorer tour I knew it was something I wanted to do. I love photographing all types of wildlife and this trip really does provide the opportunity to see a wide variety of species. Andy prepared us really well ahead of the trip and looked after us brilliantly while we were there, he always gives his all to ensure that his clients get the best experience and photographs. The accommodation was amazing and the food fantastic. I truly enjoyed my Indian adventure and it provided everything that was promised, from Tigers and Leopards to wild dogs and glorious birds. I would definitely recommend this trip."
