      Fredberg 3 days jungle tour experience

      When you depart from the city around 9 am you will be transferred to the main lodge along the Saramacca river. This drive will be apprx. 3 hours depending on the last part of the road condition. 


      A lunch will be prepared and after the lunch you will hike to the Fredberg to spend the night on top of this 670ft mountain top.  You will see lots of birds and with a little luck howler and spider money's. this hike will take apprx. 2 hours. 

      The aim is to see and experience the sunset above the jungle. 

      You will overnight in a basic camp with hammocks after dinner. 


      In the morning we will watch the sunrise from the other side of the mountain. Will have breakfast and return to the main lodge. On the way back we will learn about the diversity of the jungle, the plants and animals.  The hike back to the main lodge will be a little longer because of the several stops we will made. Depending on the season of the year we can also spot the Guianan Cock of the Rock, and endemic bird species of The Guianas. 


      Arriving at the lodge you can swim in the river, relax along the river, help in the kitchen for dinner, mingle with others. At night we have a camp fire where we have several tales we will tell about the jungle, the culture and wildlife. 


      On our 3rd days you are free to fill in your morning activity and after lunch we will depart back to Paramaribo city.

      We had a great time on this trip, apart from one small accommodation mix up, which was rectified immediately, everything went very smoothly. The accommodation was above expectations and the food was excellent. Travel the Guianas went out of their way to ensure we saw everything on the itinerary. Due to maintenance issues on the runway our scheduled flight to Kaieteur Falls was cancelled, however, Travel the Guianas, spent time to reschedule the flight on a day earlier and even found extra people not associated with our group to ensure the plane had its quota to make the flight go ahead. They were also very good in amending the itinerary to fit in the Space Centre after our original tour day was cancelled by the Space Centre. Due to their efforts, we saw everything that was advertised. The tour guides and drivers were all very professional and friendly. I would like to give a special thank you to Dinesh and Borger who were outstanding in their assistance and very prompt replies to any questions we had. We would thoroughly recommend Travel the Guianas as a great company who provided us an incredible experience.

      Very well organised trip - thoroughly enjoyed it. I would have preferred more central hotels in Georgetown and Kourou, but other than that it was perfect. Lots to see and do - thanks :)

      Hye Mr. Simon, so nice to hear you enjoyed the trip. as for the hotels in Guyana is only 3,5* best hotel. if you really had a hotel in the city center, you would call me to replace because of the noise these hotels has. As for Kourou all hotels and distances are almost same... But we will surely take a closer look at the hotels again.

      Overall a positive experience, we got to see a lot in a short time and visited everything mentioned in the itinerary (including Kaieteur Falls and the Space Center, which may be at risk for cancellation). Transfers were on time, in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles. Communication with the company was generally good: they reply promptly and provide information as requested. A few caveats: 1) Hotels. I paid $450 for upgraded hotels, which may not be worth it - I compared notes with others who stayed at the "regular" hotels and concluded that only the Georgetown upgraded hotel was definitely better. Check your vouchers carefully. When I received my vouchers shortly before the tour, I noticed that they had booked me in the regular hotels despite me paying the upgraded hotel supplement. When I brought it up, they asked for an additional $1100! I sent them the screenshot I had taken when making my reservation and they apologized and rebooked me in the upgraded hotels. The "upgraded" hotel in Paramaribo (Royal Torarica), where I stayed a total of 4 nights, was mediocre at best, with major ventilation and A/C issues. 2) Guides. We had a different guide almost every day, except in French Guyana, where we spent three days with the same guide (by far the best one we had). Some guides were uninspired freelancers who just wanted to rush us through and finish as soon as possible. The guide for the full-day Paramaribo city tour acted surprised when we asked to make a stop for lunch and restroom after 3.5 hours, and said that a stop for lunch was not contemplated! The guides/drivers for the Knini Paati Resort were also highly variable. On the way to Atjoni (which is already a long drive from Paramaribo) we made two stops in order for the driver to buy groceries for the camp, and in Atjoni we waited one hour while they were ostensibly loading the groceries on the pirogue. Overall this added 1.5 hours to an already long transfer. 3) Practicalities: We arrived at Paramaribo airport late on Saturday night. The airport ATM does not accept international cards (sic). The next day (Sunday) we tried at least six ATMs, none of which accepted international cards. Banks were closed, and restaurants don't routinely accept USD or euros. The guide had no idea where we could get local currency. Since the tour operator is based in Suriname, they should be well aware of this issue, and come up with some solution.

      Hello Chiara, thank you so much for your feedback. This info will help us to provide a better service voucher. And we will make sure to better check upgrades and we will check again with the guide of Suriname, because he is one of the best. Thank you again.

      We had a great time. There is a lot of travelling from place to place and not much to see enroute, but the main sites and towns are interesting. Accommodation was good although hotel in Guyana was a little out of the way but understand this is to cut down traffic through the city centre. All guides and drivers were excellent really reliable and informative

      Visiting Kaieteur Falls, Devil's Island (sailing on catamaran there/back), and French Guiana Space Station were absolute delights! City tours in Georgetown, Paramaribo and Cayenne were interesting to, including seeing wildlife in Paramaribo bay (pink belly dolphins) and plantation (monkeys, lizards, birds, etc.). Tour guides were very good. There is a lot of travel time in buses and airports so bring projects and entertainment to pass your time.

      Hello Stuart, thank you for the feedback. Yeah i understand travel time in the countries takes time, but there is no other way. i heard that there will be a flight from Cayenne to Paramaribo and maybe we can consider this flight when returning from Cayenne.
