Jessica, thank you for making our trip to Kamchatka (and my birthday) so special. I am sure that milestone will be etched in my memory for ever." |

Dear Akos, it was a pleasure to travel with you on the Cuba trip and both myself and Carolyn thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie of our fellow tour participants as well as the insight into the country that both yourself and Yuri were able to give, which made for a fascinating and informative trip. It is a unique country set in a time warp with a rich colonial past, which somehow manages to keep alive the communist vision of Castro. In addition, for me, the endemic birds were of great interest and we were fortunate to be able to see a good selection of these. I hope that it will not be too long before we are able to join another of your trips." |

I am writing to convey to you our thanks and appreciation for a wonderful experience on this safari. The group dynamics were great and we all very much enjoyed each others' company. Ferenc was an absolutely terrific tour leader. His warm and jovial personality kept us in good humor throughout the safari. He did a marvelous job in coordinating our schedule and accommodations and making sure all of our needs were satisfied. Truly an outstanding job." |

Madagascar was my first organised tour so I did not know quite what to expect and decided not to have too high expectations with regard to seeing wildlife. I could not have been more gratified. The trip went to places I had only dreamt of getting to, produced wildlife in abundance and shared Madagascar’s cultural magnificence. Everywhere we went was a new and exciting delight, no day was without wildlife surprises and even with occasional hiccups everything went so smoothly. Akos has a gift of allowing everyone’s day to give them what they want without hindering others. There were lovely walks in each location that were well balanced for both the relaxed and the more adventurous walkers. The places we stayed although all different were wonderful and on the occasions we arrived at night it was always a delight to wake up and see where we were staying. Sharing this trip with Akos, Madagascan people and my fellow travellers really made this a “trip of a lifetime” for me. To WANT I thank you." |

I have been all over the planet, and it is usually unappealing for me to return to an already traveled to place a second time. Madagascar, I would return to a second time. It has the beauty of tropical paradise, the vastness of Utah and the Grand Canyon, the diversity of flora and fauna, the intrigue of untouched countryside gift wrapped with charming villages. Tourism is held in high esteem. The WANT organization is definitely that, organized and well operated. One must mention the food because it deserves to be spoken of. Plenty of healthy, delicious, and 3 times a day no complaints meals. There is something to be said when the locals greet a tourist with a smile and welcoming gestures. When it came time to leave, I became all teary eyed." |

Dear Akos: I wanted to tell you that I have been traveling as an advocation for the greater part of my adult life that include several decades and I have never seen scenery such as we encountered in Greenland. Easily the best and most memorable trip I have ever taken. The experience and the sites almost defy description. No one could put into words an adequate description of the 4 ice bergs bathed in amber light that we saw on the second day. The storm that we encountered earllier in the day was both exciting and dangerous and was the type of experience that will live with me forever. Thanks for your company. You made a great roommate. Best to Jessica and I hope to see you on another adventure soon." |

Akos, as for Greenland: the smooth intensity of the trip was particularly satsifying, meeting all my expectations of "wildness", and the feel of the trip comes back day after day even yet, several weeks after our return from Qaanaaq. Thank you for organizing such and incredible trip!" |

I have a deep respect for those who live in this environment year round. Can you imagine the months of darkness? It was easy (well, relatively) for us to sit back on the sled and snap photos and enjoy the ride, but our hunters showed us what it takes to survive at the edge of the world. I am still amazed by their great humor, their energy and their quiet patient ways. We also learned that certainly not all hunters are created equal, but they still were out there, with us tourists, and for the most part, seemed to enjoy the experience. I wonder what stories they are telling their friends and families... 'You should have seen what MINE did!" :-)" |

An adventure that was as challenging as it was beautiful. An expedition to experience as much about a way of life as the incredible scenery and wildlife. A journey to the edge of the “comfortable” world – the northern most permanent human settlement and the edge of the retreating polar winter sea ice. An insight into the amasing life of a Greenland husky dog and why Amundsen was always going to win the race to the South Pole, by relying on these, the finest endurance athletes in nature. And all superbly coordinated and lead by Akos. Many thanks for all your hard work! Filippo & Jacqui" |

My daughter and I both had an incredible adventure on the Galapagos trip. I am sure we will talk about this experience for the rest of our lives. Sorry we missed you Akos, but Jessica did an amazing job, especially for jumping in at the last minute. Thank you for being so accomodating and planning out such a fun filled itinerary. Job very well done!" |
