Programmes By Date - Aigas Field Centre

We had a brilliant 4 days at Aigas Field Centre in September. We had booked via the tailormade option, and enjoyed having some time to ourselves to explore the estate and spend hours in the hides (the Pinewood was particularly good for red squirrels, and we took some great photos) but also had excellent safaris with Aigas's rangers. We went in search of raft spiders and feral goats on one trip, with great photographic opportunities at a waterfall with plenty of fungi and wood ant nests to macro, and another afternoon did a slow walk around the Aigas lake, looking at insects and fungi. The rangers' knowledge and enthusiasm was excellent and made our stay very enjoyable. Our thanks also to Sir John and Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye, for some lovely rhino-related conversations and great care with my complicated dietary restrictions. The rooms are simple but exactly what's needed - warm, clean and comfortable - after long days out in search of otters and pine martens. We'll visit again, I am sure.

Truly one of the most incredible holidays I have ever had. Every day was filled with well-planned trips to beautiful places. Complete with guides who were very knowledgeable about all of the aspects of the highlands: history, geology, flora and fauna, and how it is all interdependent. The feeling of do love and appreciation for all of the natural wonders of the highlands was contagious and I feel that it will ever remain within my spirit. The accommodations were very well appointed, very clean and comfortable. The grounds and gardens were so beautiful, so tenderly card for, and the food was exquisite! Absolutely nothing here was below an excellent score!
