We had a good trip with NatHab and saw lots of pandas (none in the wild but they told us that would be exceedingly rare) but plenty of cute babies playing and we got to clean some panda enclosures and feed them some carrots. Also, saw the golden snub-nosed monkeys which were very entertaining and the beautiful golden pheasants and lots of Takin and other wildlife.
You and your staff did an excellent job in organizing our trip and we will definitely refer our friends and will contact you again when we return to China.
As a seasoned traveler who is on the road 300 days out of the year, having WildChina plan our 3-week China itinerary through Yunnan and Sichuan provinces was beyond perfect. Taking into account our preferences around food, lodging, and sights – they were able to put together a customized schedule that matched our interests. Everything from the transfer vehicle, accommodations, and guides were beyond our expectations. There’s simply no better company to help travelers discover the best of China. I can’t wait to return again, knowing that WildChina will have the perfect itinerary ready.
