Both Rick and Chris Made our trip!!!!! Without them it wouldn’t have been worth it. They both are fabulous people, guides, and now friends. Paying your premium was worth it for both of them

The quality of the trip leaders. The flexibility of the administration and the less visited locations

Excellent guiding by Miru leaders and local guide. They optimized each of us viewing an animal/ bird.Well planned itinerary that left us wanting to stay longer at each location. Maximized opportunities to view wildlife everywhere offering early morning, midday & evening options. Would go again!

This was our second safari trip with Miru. In the back of my mind, I thought it couldn't possibly be as good as the first trip. But, it was. Many differences in locations, but the same quality of accommodations and activities. Lex is an excellent guide, sharing so much more than just wildlife sightings. We observed behaviors and, in doing so, really felt we were experiencing the "real" Africa. Everyone we met at the camps was professional, knowledgeable and warm and welcoming. Traveling with Miru, we were well informed of all arrangements early on, apprised of things to make our trip easier (from clothing to weather and medications, etc.), and treated to cultural experiences at each camp. It was obvious everywhere we went that Lex is very well respected for his knowledge and experiences. He was a very conscientious host, managing our group so no one was ever left out and we always knew what was planned. I can't say enough about traveling with Miru--I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Saudi Arabia is in its nascent state as a destination travel country. Its tourist industry is evolving at a rapid pace to suit the preference of international travelers. I appreciate Miru Adventures to explore this country in this early phase of Saudi Arabia tourism. While the country offers a prescribed route for all visitors, Miru is able to tailor a special group program to be unique from what the rest of the travel industry offers. There were occasions where our schedule and itinerary were not in alignment. This might be related to cultural and expectation difference. Our guide, Shirley Campbell and the Miru team were able to resolve such issues tactfully and maintained congenial relationship. Saudi Arabia has many natural beauties, cultural and historical interests, besides experiencing the amazing progress and modernization. Madinah offers a special and rare glimpse of Islam pilgrimage for all non-Muslim. It was one the highlights. I recommend visiting this country now before it is inundated by the mass media.

This was a tremendous trip to a beatuiful place with incredible wildlife and scenery. From the moment I landed in Nairobi to the moment I left Kilimanjarao, everything was organized and executed perfectly. What took the trip to another level was the expert, one-of-a-kind leadership of Lex Hes and the knowledgeable local guides who added their expertise as well as their unique perspectives of residents of these amazing countries. Lex's knowledge, experience and delivery of detailed information about wildlife and the natural world is singular. His people skills are equally impressive-he made the trip fun and educational for all. I highly recommend this trip if it is offered in the future.

Best Africa trip out of 6. With Lex as a a true African naturalist how can anything go wrong. Everything was fabulous. We are ready to go back again. Olle Larsson

A very interesting tour of most-probably, the happiest place on earth. We had great support from our expedition leaders, Rich and Shirley. Our local guides, Ugyen and Kinlay and their team were extremely insightful, kind and helpful. As it was our first visit, the tour took in most of the important sights, a festival and the important temples and monasteries. The highlight was attending the Black neck Crane festival, which we attended dressed in local costume. Our guides, Ugyen and Kinlay were able to find local dresses for the ladies and organized for the men to obtain ghos, the typical male costume. We really enjoyed being with the local people, who appreciated that we were appropriately dressed. Our guides made just about every aspect of the tour special. From attending evening prayer sessions with the monks, to donating Ugyen and Kinlay made our visit a real success. It will be necessary to return and visit the country in more depth, to spend time hiking in the mountains and learn more about the Bhutanese approach to Buddhism.
