As I’ve just completed the last tour of the year - a total of 13 trips this year to far flung places and a few not so far. I just put together a little selection of photos - some of my personal highlights from this year.
We’ve had some incredible Experiences…. Quad biking in Oman and Namibia, camel riding in Jordan, Morocco and Egypt, the incredible sunset and sunrise in Torres del Paine with our stay at the Rio Serrano Hotel with Mountain View rooms looking towards Torres, the boat trip at Iguassu, hotel stays at the Old Cataract in Aswan and the Belmond in Iguassu, snowmobiling and snow shoeing in the high Arctic, hiking to the viewpoint at the Eqi Glacier (Greenland), seeing the Cherry blossom (eventually) in Japan, sunrise on Easter Island, snorkelling in the Red Sea at Aqaba, Jordan, seeing Petra without the crowds, Machu Picchu, the jaguars of the Pantanal, the tigers of India coming so close to the Jeep I could have touched them, climbing the dune in the Sahara to watch the sunset and sliding back down again just before the summit (you guys will remember that sunset) the humpback whales (3 of them) jumping out of the water right in front of us (Greenland), the Aurora dancing in Finland with a full moon, the walk through the early dawn market in Madurai, sailing up the Nile in our little dahabeya… to name just a few!
These are just some of my favourite memories of the year.
What has been your highlight this year on an Experium Tracel trip?
Comment below….
And here’s the photo selection from my year of travel.
When you look at it like this, it really has been quite a year!
Summer in Greenland
The largest Island in the world - one giant ice cap - ice Fjord - whales - boat cruises - stay off grid in the fabulous Eqi Glacier Lodge overlooking the glacier.
This unique lodge offers a once in a lifetime to Experience life 300 km above the Arctic Circle.
Still a couple of spaces left for next summer - 2025
Message me for more details.
Meanwhile, here is a video of photos I took this last summer on the Greenland trip.
Another Giant river otter with his 'catch'.
The Devil's Throat on the Argentinian side of the Falls at Iguassu.
The giant river otter - having caught his fish - now begins to eat alone. The hunt in pairs BUT they don't share their food.
I haven’t posted a video of me in a lodge on a trip for quite a while so thought I would for a change. If I look a little bleary eyed then you should know I’d been up since 4 am and I did the little video at 7.15am. This is our last day here in Brazil - I hope you’ve enjoyed following this trip - thank you all for your comments.
As boat trips go this one is sooooo much fun.
You’ll see from the video the proof that 3rd row from the front on the right hand side bore the brunt of the water !!!
Here’s the evidence !
Whale watching amongst the ice bergs in Greenland.
Just us for the most part observing the whales. One red boat called by on the way to Eqi - our destination for tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the birds, the humpback whales blowing, feeding in Disko Bay.
Good morning..
I was clearing some space on my computer this morning - it's almost full apparently.
Found this video from the Tigers & Taj tour in April this year.
Question - How close do we get to the Tigers?
Answer -VERY! (safely of course) but very close.
Do I guarantee tiger sightings - YES I do. Definitely in Tadoba National Park. The only thing I don't guarantee is how many!
But in excess of 9 tigers - all roaming in the wild. It's not a zoo. It's not a private game reserve. It's a National Park - and because I choose April as the time of year to visit - the tigers come to the watering holes to drink.
Yes it is hot. But that's why I can guarantee we see tigers.
Thinking of joining me - I still have a few spaces available on the April 2026 tour.
come and join me. Message me for the full itinerary / price.
A little video from this mornings visit to the Uros Islands.
Perfect weather. Perfect welcome. A quiet reed island just for us … just the way we like it.
