Resort to the Rainforest

Get a feel for Georgetown before escaping to enjoy the rainforest and rivers at Guyana's interior Resorts.

Experience Georgetown's hustle and bustle, the colour of it's markets and a brief insight into Guyana's history and culture during your city tour. Timberhead Rain Forest Resort and Shanklands Rainforest Resort offer an interesting contrast to the city with a variety of forest and river activities and the opportunity to simply relax in tranquil surroundings. Rainforest nature walks, bird watching, canoeing and swimming are all possibilities. Both resorts have an individual feel - you will enjoy their differences and the welcoming hospitality which is common to both.

Your journey to Timberhead takes you through rivers and creeks which wind prettily through overhanging rainforest trees. The Amerindian crafted lodges are perched atop a sandy hill with views of the savannah and the river below while the rainforest provides a beautiful backdrop. For the next couple of days you can enjoy the many activities of Timberhead, explore Santa Mission and go for evening canoe safaris to view the night-blooming water lilies and to spot the evil eyes of the caiman.
After an exciting jeep ride through the rainforest we arrive at Shanklands Rainforest Resort where you will enjoy your splendid gingerbread cottages set upon a hilltop with manicured lawns and panoramic views of the Essequibo River and it's islands below. Spend the following days exploring the rainforest and private coves and creeks, kayaking, windsurfing, water-skiing, or simply relaxing on the golden sand river beaches.
Next we take a long day trip involving a flight over virgin rainforest and endless rivers to the majestic Kaieteur Falls, one of Guyana's gems. At a height of 741ft - five times that of Niagra, Kaieteur is considered one of the wonders of the world. The fabulous orange Cock of the rock and Golden Tree Frog are colorful inhabitants of this unique eco-system. On by plane to Orinduik Falls on the border with Brazil where the water cascades over steps of jasper. The falls provide a welcome natural massage before your return flights to Georgetown.
