Guyana -  Highlights of Guyana >

14 days from £3,230
Guyana holidays are still in their infancy. Let us introduce you to this growing wild-life destination, English-speaking Guyana. The Caribbean coast is a tangle of mangroves and sugar cane plantations. Inland is a landscape of savannah and rainforest; of ancient tablelands and waterfalls.
