Let Cheesemans' Be Your Guide

"Cheesemans Ecology Safaris knocked it out of the park with Sulawesi/Komodo! I felt enlightened and fulfilled, my heart bursting with joy at multiple points during this journey. Releasing baby leatherback turtles, watching tarsiers calling to each other as they emerged from trees at dusk, hiking through the jungle at night during a rainstorm, snorkeling with mantas and posing with Komodo dragons, all in one trip! And of course, snorkeling the house reef at the dive resort's pristine beach. Wow, so many wow moments! Charlie Ryan is one of the finest guides on the planet. His depth of knowledge is vast on both land and sea. Also, I was fortunate enough to room with Krista. Such a fine woman! She would make Gail and Doug proud. I've been a CES fan since 2007 and hope to continue with the finest travel company on the planet. Good job, CES!"
