The Last Eden - Guyana

This truly is a wildlife haven like nowhere else on the planet. Previous trips have seen jaguar, ocelots, giant river otters, tapirs swim by within meters of our boat, as well as a huge diversity of bird life.

Specific specie sightings are never guaranteed, but you'll see a whole host of jungle wildlife here. Everyday our eco-guides will show you everything the jungle has to offer, either by boat or hikes into the jungle. Our expert guides will identify wildlife from harpy eagles to mammals and the smallest insects as we explore.

In Yupukuri you’ll be staying in our luxury savanna lodge. Here you’ll get a taste of the local Katoka culture. You’ll have your own room and be well looked after while you stay and explore the amazing savannah.

Our jungle camp is a bit more basic, but very comfortable. It’s nestled in a stunning mora mora forest overlooking a beautiful waterfall. We have our own cook, generator, toilet, and even a jungle shower. You’ll be sleeping in a traditional hut in hammocks under mosquito nets with all the comforts of a fully trained staffing team.

Our cooks are extremely well trained and cook delicious food every day, whether it’s caught from the river or foraged - everyday is different and fresh. Expect tasty BBQ fish, stews of beef and chicken, local veggies, juice, beer, and regional rum.

If you have dietary preferences these can be catered for, just talk to us. Please note vegans can be catered for, but you will generally have a lack of variety, both in our jungle camps and Georgetown. But certainly you will be well fed!

You don’t need to be exceptionally fit to enjoy our expeditions. We do ask that you are happy to walk short distances (around 2km) in humid temperatures and be able to carry a small bag with a few essentials.

You will mostly be on boats so won’t be trekking far, although we do offer an optional jungle mountain trek with varying levels of difficulty for those wanting a more adventurous challenge.

We’ve had guests of all ages, from 10 years old right the way up to 80. If you have any specific medical needs, please chat to us.

Many of our guests travel with us solo and often find they meet wonderful like-minded people on our trips. More often than not you will have your own room, but this may change depending on the makeup of our group. For example, if we have 10 individuals, it is likely some will need to share twin rooms in Yupukari. However, everyone will get an individual hammock and 'bed space' in our Mapari jungle camp.

There is no single-person supplement for this trip, and we ask that solo-travellers remain flexible in case sharing is required.

There is no access to vehicles in the jungle, so most of our transport is carried out on motor-powered canoes. They are comfortably fitted with seating so we can silently drift down the regions beautiful rivers. We may also head into the jungle by foot for short distances, with the option for longer hikes for those who would like to.

Our camp sites have running water with private showers. You are also welcome to bathe in our river rapid plunge pool or explore further afield with our guides.

Most guests will choose to enjoy the surrounding rivers and plunge pools to bathe in - it’s wonderful way of getting close to the nature surrounding us.

We want everyone to enjoy our expeditions no matter who you are and how you identify yourself.

There are a number of up-to-date resources on LGBTQ+ rights and lived experiences in Guyana for information. We don’t want anyone feeling like their enjoyment will be affected by how they identify. We’d be happy to have a discussion if you have any concerns, just get in touch.
