These lodges have a strong science and nature focus, providing a comfortable hospitality whilst offering guests the chance to learn about the vivid surrounding eco-systems.
Guyana has been increasingly recognised as a tourist-friendly destination in recent years. It offers a range of unique and authentic experiences for travellers seeking nature, adventure, and cultural exploration. The country's diverse ecosystems, including the Amazon rainforest, savannas, and waterways, provide opportunities for wildlife watching, birding, and eco-tourism. The welcoming local population and growing tourism infrastructure contribute to a fulfilling and immersive travel experience. However, like any destination, it's important for tourists to exercise general safety precautions, respect local customs, and be mindful of their surroundings.
Guyana has a warm humid equatorial climate with intense rains and scarce seasonal differences in temperature. The best time to visit will depend on the region you wish to go to, but in general, the rainiest months are to be avoided. For this reason, the ideal time to visit Guyana are the driest months between mid-January and April and between mid-August and October.
