Guyana is one of the least-touristed and most forested countries on Earth (and that’s why we love it). With over 83% of its land covered in forests, it’s a wildlife hotspot and one of the best places to spot titans of the animal kingdom, including jaguars, arapaima and giant anteaters. Leave the planning to us, and we’ll arrange activities like raft trips into the interior, anteater safaris with Guyanese cowboys and citizen science with a black caiman research team in the Rupununi. We’ll tailor each trip to you and select from our vetted properties, ranging from colonial-era hotels to rainforest lodges, to find your perfect match.

Guyana Travel Advice & Information
Our passionate consultants love to venture where others don’t. In Guyana, we’ve travelled along the coastal strip, up the Essequibo River, into the savannahs of the Rupununi and stood at the very edge of Kaieteur Falls (the world’s largest single-drop waterfall). Beyond Guyana’s spectacular wildlife, we help travellers uncover the rich cultural tapestry made up of Indigenous groups and descendants of colonial-era workers. Working with excellent local guides, we can organise the likes of responsible trips to meet Amerindian communities and traditional handicraft workshops in the foothills of the Pakaraima mountains.
For nature lovers, Guyana (meaning 'The Land of Many Waters' in one of the local Amerindian languages) is an absolute Eden. Accompanied by indigenous guides, spend your days trekking through pristine rainforests, across dusty savannahs and in verdant highlands with not another soul in sight. Then venture to Kaieteur Falls - the largest single-drop waterfall in the world - brave the heights of the 95ft-high Iwokrama Canopy Walkway and spend your nights in remote rainforest lodges run by local communities.
Wildlife lovers too will be in their element here. There's a reason the country also goes by the name the 'Land of the Giants': Guyana is home to some of the world's most extraordinary species, from giant anteaters and giant river otters to the world's largest rodent (capybara) and largest freshwater fish, the arapaima, which has developed anti-piranha protective scales. As well as this, the country boasts six wild cat species - including the notoriously hard to spot jaguars - and a staggering 900-plus bird species, making Guyana a birdwatcher's paradise. For a truly unforgettable experience, we can even arrange for you to help out at a black caiman research project which involves capturing, tagging and measuring these prehistoric beasts which are a cousin of the crocodile.
When you're not walking on the wild side, head to the country's charming capital Georgetown to experience Guyana's unique culture. Weaving together seven different ethnic groups, Guyana is a true melting pot, but one that's created a delicious and harmonious blend. The vibe is Caribbean in essence, and you'll see mosques next to churches, and Hindu temples right across the road founded by the descendants of the many Indian indentured labourers who came to Guyana in the 19th century. Thanks to its diversity, Guyana is a foodie haven that's bursting with flavours from across the globe. Feast on Indian-inspired curry and dahls, sample your way around the fresh fruit and vegetable markets, brave fiery chilli sauces and wash it all down with a fresh rum-infused coconut.
If that's not enough to whet your appetite, we've got another fun fact for you: Guyana is the only country in South America with English as its official language so you'll be able to get around even the most remote Amerindian villages without having to brush up on your Spanish or Portuguese.
For an offbeat adventure, the small South American country of Guyana is a real winner. When you're not exploring the wilds of the central rainforests and mountains region, discover the sun-baked savannahs of the Rupununi, the melting pot of cultures in Georgetown and the serene sand beaches of the coastal belt. With so much to do, Guyana is perfect for a tailor-made holiday.
