"They put people first. I love the small group size and the fact that the trips are about spending maximum time in the field."

Sylvie Rondeau, 2022

"Cheeseman's goes above and beyond. Their staff are knowledgable, competent, good natured, and make certain we get to see as much as is humanly possible, while keeping the well-being of wildlife foremost."

Jodi Frediani, 2022

I love Cheesemans Ecology Safaris! Their motto of "maximum time in the field" translates to maximum life experience. CES provides in-depth, personal, high-quality experiences that elevate my life's education. Additionally, CES actually ANSWERS their phones! So unlike other travel companies. That alone keeps me loyal."

Vicky Cooper, 2022

"Exceptional organization by the Cheesemans' team. They promptly answered and queries, and individualized my trip to accommodate my schedule. Having traveled with Cheesemans previously to Antarctica and Australia, I expected no less."

Alan Livingstone, 2021

"I went to the Galápagos Islands for two weeks. It was my dream for 60 years. I could not imagine more. Every day was new experiences. I loved the Samba. She is a beautiful older, well-kept boat. She is perfect. The Samba Crew feels like family. I have been home four days and I am still reveling in my adventures.

I would recommend this trip to anyone. Dealing with Cheeseman Safari’s was a pleasure from start to finish."

Sandi Zimmermann, 2021

"We feel very fortunate to have had Ted Cheeseman lead the trip! He added so much: adjusting plans and activities to changing conditions to show us the best things available; generously sharing his deep knowledge and experience of all things Antarctic; keeping in good spirits; even catering to our geocaching interests."
