Day 2-10: Photo Safari
The nine days of your Svalbard Photo Safari will be spent on the M/S Stockholm as it explores the fjords, glaciers, and incredible landscapes of the Svalbard Archipelago. The exact day to day itinerary is flexible and will be determined by photographic opportunities, weather conditions and the density of the pack ice in the North.
The Stockholm is a great vessel for photography. Some of the photographic experiences will be done from the ship, itself, but numerous zodiac excursions and island landings and also scheduled. The daily itinerary will be discussed each night at dinner and again at breakfast each morning.
During the cruise, there will be times when the ship spends time at sea merely to get to the next location, but this makes for great time to work on your image catalog, relax in your cabin, or take landscape images of the incredible landscapes that Svalbard is so well known for. On the last evening of the cruise, sail back to Longyearbyen and arrive late in the evening.
Day 11: Longyearbyen / Disembark
Wake up in Longyearbyen and disembark the ship after breakfast. Journey either to your hotel or to the airport, depending on your independent onward schedule.

The response from Adventure Life to my first inquiry was prompt and promising. I worked with Jamie Broeckel, Trip Planner, via text, email, and phone calls- always extremely responsive and thorough with information and explaining the process to arrange a private tour for me to Malaysia Borneo. Within about week, the booking was complete and I made decisions because of Jamie's great customer service , friendly manner, and overall competence on behalf of the company's travel expertise. Now I have an itinerary, additional Trip Planner Assistants, several links for vital information for traveling to Maylasia, etc. Still many details for Sept. trip, but now the heavy lifting is done and I can enjoy the rest of the anticipation and research!! Thanks Jamie- you are amazing!!!!

The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
