Naturetrek Tour Leaders
To the right is a list of tour leaders that accompany you on your tour. All our leaders are expert naturalists. They will be able to show you, and help you to identify, many of the birds, plants and mammals that occur in the region that you are visiting. Please note however, that whilst we assign leaders to particular tours well in advance, we reserve the right to make changes if necessary.
