| hey, tennis chick. I went to south africa with them on the elephants project. just thought they were easy to deal with and everything they said happenned that way. i shopped around for a while and they were cheaper and i did not feel hassled by them to say yes. i recomended them to my mates sister and she went to nepal and said good things, think she is going again this year. im going to australia with them next. | |

| Hey,
I haven't done the Twin one but if you really want to experience the jungle properly the only people to go with are Trekforce. You get to live in the middle of the rainforest, no camps or log cabins, no cafes or shops. I did one and it was incredible. you see so much more wildlife because each group goes to a new site and just sleeps in hamocks in the trees. It's so much more fun that way too. We saw giant otters, howler monkeys, a jaguar, caimen and heaps more. The expedition leaders are really experienced too. You can get spanish lessons as well, they're pretty flexible. i've spoken to quite a few people who've done trekforce projects now and everyone has loved them. |
