An eyeopening experience. This was an area that I was not familiar with and my expectations were low. But Kudu provided a magnificent trip and introduced me to the many wonders of the Balkan region.

Great combination of history and landscape. This tour of Albania with a day and night in Kosovo highlighted both the natural world and complex anthropology of this little known region. Our enjoyment was greatly enhanced by a knowledgeable leader and invited expert.
