We are just back from a stunning week at Wichabai Ranch in the Rupununi of Guyana. Thanks so much to Erin, Justin and the whole team for their wonderful hospitality. We went horse riding, anteater safari, learning about Amerindian culture and traditions, fishing, hiking in the Kanuku mountains, camping in the jungle, loads of birdwatching and eating amazing food.

How does one sum up this special place? Wichabai simply must be experienced -- there are the exceptionally caring and knowledgeable guides, the exquisite meals, the beautifully crafted and maintained accommodations, the extraordinarily warm, welcoming and educational hosts, the magical Rupununi savannah, the endless variety of birds, the anteater tracking...and finding, the delightful capybaras, the stargazing, sunrises and sunsets...Just do it!
-Mary E, USA
What an amazing place! I can honestly say that Wichabai was one of the standout highlights of our long trip through South America. I hope we'll manage to return.
