I enjoyed the trip very much. I was most impressed with all the albatross nesting on the island. I really enjoyed my daily walks around the island, giving me a chance to watch the birds close up and to have them fly all around me - especially the fairy terns that would hover above me in the casurina forest. Coming back to all the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and New York, it made me really appreciate the simplicity, peace and quiet of Midway Island. The place is a real national treasure!" |

You guys did a fantastic job. This was truly a unique experience. It was really great to get together again with so many of our more recent best friends for life. And, the people on the island were so very friendly and hospitable – they just really made us feel like guests." |

Hi, Akos and Jessica! Great trip!! :) I greatly appreciate your being flexible enough to include my particular interests (bryozoans, World War II), and I am very grateful to all the other participants for helping me examine all the coral rubble for those obscure encrusting invertebrates. All the albatrosses were spectacular, too. All the best, Roger." |

Ethiopia is such an incredible country, many different landscapes, the tribes of the Omo river valley, the Lalibela churches, the Gondar castles, the Simien mountains, the animals… Even though I thought I was prepared, it was quite a shock when faced with the poverty and how difficult peoples' life is in a third world country. Travelling with Akos and Jessica (and thanks also to our local guide) made this experience simply unforgettable." |

Our trip to Ethiopia with Akos and Jessica in November 2010 was simply wonderful! Ethiopia is such a blend of many things - rich history, culture, landscapes, animals, ancient religions, tribal peoples and modern, emerging Africa. We did so much in such a short time and took lots of wonderful photos. Truly a fabulous expedition. The combined skills and knowledge of Akos, Jessica and Itbarek (our Ethiopian guide) maximized our experiences. I highly recommend this trip!" |

Thank you Akos and Jessica. You put together an excellent and very comprehensive tour of Ethiopia in a way that was quite manageable - not an easy task. Using a local expert who is so knowledgeable and forthcoming added a wonderful dimension of information and understanding so that I was not just a tourist seeing, but also getting a sense of the history, tradition and culture of Ethiopia. I enjoyed and, very much appreciated, your enthusiasm, knowledge and competence - it was a pleasure to see Ethiopia with you as our leaders." |

Grace's comments on her Flick page: 'Just returned from an amazing trip to Ethiopia - culture, nature, history ... unsurpassed. Went with the best travel company ever: WANT Expeditions - WILDLIFE AND NATURE TRAVEL. Google them and thank me later. (Conde Naste - too late - I found Akos first!!!)'" |

Socotra has been on my wish list for a long time, so when I learnt that WANT was planning a trip there, I decided it was time to go. I had an amazing holiday, starting from Sana’a, Yemen's capital, a city with an unique architecture and then in Socotra with its unique nature and landscapes. How can you forget, just to name a few, the Dragon Blood trees, the sea, the sand dunes or the natural pools where we swam in the mountains? I was so lucky to travel with both Akos and Jessica, which made this trip perfect and beyond all expectations." |

Our recent trip to Jordan with WANT Expeditions was filled with history, beauty and adventure. History was ever present. From the Roman ruins at Jerash, to the Promised Land at Mt. Nebo, to the Nabatean tombs at Petra, we witnessed the passage of time from Pre-Greek times through Greek, Roman, Christian and Muslim civilizations. The beauty of the land pervaded throughout our trip. The golden hues of the desert stood in stark contrast to the turquoise water of the Dead Sea, while the sunset at Wadi Rum produced a fiery glow in the surrounding sandstone.
Each day brought a new adventure, from doing the classic “Dead Sea float,” to hiking from Wadi Finan to Dana, and finally, to camping in Bedouin tents made of goat-hair at Wadi Rum. As seasoned world travelers, we both felt that our trip to Jordan with WANT Expeditions was everything we thought it would be, and more. Our tour leader, Jessica, was with us everyday. She was caring, energetic, and patient. She is very upbeat and inspiring, as well as knowledgeable and resourceful. In our view, Jessica ranks among the top tour leaders we have traveled with.
We WILL be traveling with WANT Expeditions again, soon, we hope." |
