Kaieteur and Roraima Trek, Guyana and Venezuela.


On this 16 day trekking adventure you have the opportunity to experience the pristine rainforest and abundant wildlife of undiscovered Guyana.


Kaiteur Falls


We start with a 3 day trek to Kaiteur Falls - tallest single drop waterfall in the world. Continue the adventure on our 6 day trek to the top of Mount Roraima in Venezuela.

Kaieteur Falls is situated in the heart of Guyana. The water of Kaieteur, one of the world’s natural wonders, flows over a sandstone conglomerate tableland into a deep gorge - a drop of 822 feet, 5 times the height of Niagara Falls.

Kaieteur supports a unique micro environment with large Tank bromeliads, in which the tiny Golden frog spends its entire life and the rarely seen bright orange Cock- of-the-rock nesting close by. You may also see the famous flights of the Kaieteur Swifts which nest under the vast shelf of rock carved by the centuries of falling water.

You fly back to Georgetown and then begin the next leg of the adventure to the Gran Sabana.


Gran Sabana


The Sabana is a grassy savannah-like plateau. Abunding in natural wonders such as waterfalls, rapids and tropical rainforest; the plentiful wildlife makes this a naturalist and birdwatcher’s paradise.

Above the Sabana loom the tepuys, or “Table Mountains”. Mount Roraima is the most famous. The tepuys’ lunar-like surface is home to many plants and animals found nowhere else on earth.

Mount Roraima is one of the most acclaimed sights in South America. For hundreds of years the mile high flat-topped mountain inspired travellers - tales and rumours abounded concerning the mysterious, inacessible summit above the clouds.
