Honduras opens our 2028 year.
Four hand-picked small-group journeys, expertly guided across four continents in a single carefully chosen year. Groups average eight guests; some journeys run up to ten, and others stay smaller depending on the destination, lodging and other practical factors. Emerald Trails leads the way through Honduras — we'd be thrilled to have you along. Tap any card to step into the tour.


Marshes, Meres & Migrants: A Norfolk-Suffolk Birding Journey
The wetlands and coast of Norfolk and the ancient woods of Suffolk, in May at the very height of spring. Migrants pour in off the North Sea, Bitterns boom across the reedbeds, and on three separate mornings we stand within metres of a singing Nightingale.

Uganda: Papyrus to the Mist
A seventeen-day circuit through Uganda's wild register: Shoebills standing in the papyrus of Lake Victoria, the Nile plunging white at Murchison Falls, turacos calling through Budongo and the Royal Mile, Kibale's chimpanzee forest, Queen Elizabeth's open savannahs, and the flowered ridges of the Albertine Rift where sunbirds and endemics work the misted edges of Bwindi. Over 500 species are in reach, with time among wild chimpanzees and a permitted hour with mountain gorillas woven into the birding.

Madagascar — Birds, Lemurs & Wild Landscapes
An 18-day cross-island immersion linking western dry forest, eastern rainforest, the Central Highlands, sandstone savanna, southwestern spiny forest and coastal wetlands.
