Annai Landing This Amerindian Village is in the foothills of the Pakaraima Mountains 420 kilometres south of Georgetown. There is plenty to do here with four-wheel drive explorations to the forest, savannah, mountains and Rupununi River on offer, as well as simply relaxing in a hammock, or maybe some horse-riding. Located near to Surama and the Iwokrama Rainforest Reserve, it is a worthwhile stop on any itinerary, and is home to howler monkeys, hummingbirds and a myriad of other wildlife, too.Rock View Lodge HIGH Rock View Lodge is a working ranch in the village, making a perfect base from which to explore. Guests are accommodated in eight well-furnished suites in two guesthouses. The lodge is surrounded by acres of lush gardens, which attract hummingbirds and other wildlife and at dawn you can often hear the howler monkeys calling nearby. Rewa The Amerindian village of Rewa is an unknown wildlife haven, its rainforest, mountains and oxbow lakes teeming with wildlife, birds and fi sh. Only a handful of people have ever visited so this is your opportunity to see a fantastic wilderness, before others even know of its existence. The tribal communities of approximately 220 people still practice subsistence farming and fi shing so by staying at the lodge here you are contributing to their income and enabling them to make a responsible living from tourism.Rewa EcoLodge HIGH Situated on the river bank, the lodge enjoys views of the Rupununi River from outside seating, and the dining area. Accommodation is in two benabs (small huts) each with two bedrooms and a large hammock area for relaxing. There are three bathrooms near to the bedrooms.Rupununi Rupununi is an area where working ranches have opened their doors to visitors, with cowboys still working the land in the age old way. It is a unique addition to a holiday for any visitor, with each lodge described below offering a different experience. It's also here that you can see many endangered species including black caiman, arapaima fish, harpy eagle and giant river otter. Excursions are by four-wheel drive, canoe, horse-back or on-foot. This is also a good place to see the world's largest water lily and Guyana's national flower, Victoria Amazonica. Karanambu Ranch MID This ranch is an eco-tourism resort well-known for its tranquillity, abundant wildlife and legendary hospitality. Guests are accommodated in six en-suite cabanas each with a veranda. The facilities here are comfortable but basic, with no hot water and limited availability of electricity. Diane McTurk, ranch owner, is well-known for her work in rehabilitating orphaned giant river otters to the wild, and there are good chances of seeing both orphaned and wild giant rivers otters from here, and helping her with her work. Caiman House MID Caiman House is upstream from Karanambu on the Rupununi River in the village of Yupukari. The accommodation at this ecological research station is rustic with electricity and running water. During your stay you will go out on night trips on the river. You may well see black caiman, as this river has South America's second largest population as well as tree boas and frogs.Dadanawa MID On the Rupununi River deep in the southern savannah, Dadanawa Ranch is the largest and most isolated ranch in Guyana, covering some 1,500 square kilometres. It is the perfect base for expeditions in search of harpy eagle in the rainforest, and Amerindian paintings and petroglyphs on the savannah. 150Talk to an expert 0845 130 6982 Or visit us on the web www.wildlifeworldwide.com151GUYANA WILDLIFE JOURNEYHighlights.
