Our Nature & Wildlife Travel Specialists

Excellent trip—the planning was flawless and Zicasso’s travel specialist was a pleasure to work with. She remained available to us during our entire trip and anytime I had a question, she responded immediately.

We received great communication and stayed in wonderful accommodations. Our driver in Cape Town was outstanding. Everything went smoothly. Zicasso's travel designer was so patient and helpful during the planning stages and preparing us for the trip.

Raj and I had an unforgettable trip of a lifetime in Peru! The planning and execution of the itinerary were excellent. Everyone, from our drivers to our guides at every destination, was simply amazing! They were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. They made the whole experience so pleasant. Our hotel accommodations were superb as well.
Thank you all again. We would highly recommend this tour company to our friends and family!

I was guided well in weighing the pros and cons for my style of travel by Zicasso’s travel specialist. The vessel was a relatively new catamaran with low guest numbers, which I appreciated. The catamaran was wonderful, the food was great and diverse, and the staff was very attentive. Our guide was knowledgeable and ALWAYS on the lookout for wildlife on land and sea. The outings were well planned. A+++

Zicasso's travel company and our travel specialist, who was my contact, were fabulous! She designed a perfect vacation. We just returned from three and a half magical weeks. She ensured everything was seamless.
We had four helicopter trips and, before each trip, she checked the weather and checked with the helicopter provider to ensure our trip was still scheduled. Only one of the four trips was canceled and she ensured we would get a refund. Not only the refund, but she worked on a Plan B.
Each place we stayed was simply wonderful and we did not have to go through the usual hotel/lodge registration because she had ensured the hotel/lodge knew our information.
The day visits were so memorable–just magnificent–from our private sailing adventure on a 54-foot yacht to our magnificent private helicopter rides, viewing volcanoes (active and inactive), the Marlborough Sounds, and whales and dolphins in Kaikōura. We went on a ferry in Milford Sound. Magnificent! We traveled on the TranzAlpine train to Arthur's Pass.
I cannot list everything we did, but each experience was magnificent. The guides themselves were all top-notch: knowledgeable, friendly, and wonderful to spend a day with. Our travel specialist was available for all kinds of requests, like making dinner reservations and then canceling those reservations if we changed our mind last minute. My husband asked me on a few occasions, "Does she have a life other than helping us 24/7?"
Truly, it was the most memorable trip we have ever taken. (And in the past two years we have traveled to Canada, Acadia National Park in Maine, Alaska on a cruise, Chile and Antarctica, Paris, and Italy, each with different travel vendors. But this trip, with the travel company and the travel specialist, was the most memorable, the most magical, and I mean every single day!
Please list the travel company as a five-star, top-notch travel designer in New Zealand and Australia. (And, as a footnote, of the two hotel choices the travel specialist gave me, she recommended our hotel in Sydney, and I'm so thankful I agreed with her recommendation. It was simply wonderful–a great final note, with three nights in Sydney before we went home. Not to mention the private tour of the Sydney Opera House!) Thank you for connecting us with the travel company.

Zicasso’s travel specialist really listened to me and we saw the things we wanted to see in Costa Rica. It was a great trip!

Every driver was on time and every hotel and event booking was as scheduled. We saw so many wonderful sites and enjoyed the excellent food and culture of Costa Rica. We will definitely return.
Zicasso’s travel company did a great job showcasing the highlights of Costa Rica on this three-week trip. They also did what no other company would do, and that is, accommodating the fact that we had a private residence to stay in between adventures!

What an amazing trip and experience. Zicasso’s travel agent helped plan a trip with concierge treatment and assisted in determining how to best spend our time. From Machu Picchu to hiking to the Amazon rainforest, everything was first class.
