Last review doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Myself and my friends had an AMAZING trip on the Moja Maja, G** our tour guide was incredible and so so fun to be around. Food was really good, better than I expected for being on a sailboat. I don’t know what the negative reviews are talking about because I would find it really hard to find any faults with the trip that we had. Crew were really friendly and made the trip even better. 5 Stars easy.

Yet again Exodus has offered an amazing package. The best guides, the best 
views and the best locations. The Bosnian mountains are stunning and the 
local people are so welcoming.
Reaching the highest peak.


He was fantastic. The group gave him a couple of challenges and he was so 
calm and sorted everything out. Bring toiletries.


Bring toiletries. Bosnian hotels do not supply anything bar hand soap.


Great mixture of culture and hiking.

Walking in Bosnia & Herzegovina

Very good, particularly impressed by ou magnificent guide Kanaan who spoke 
English perfectly, was passionate about his country, informative and balanced 
when describing recent conflict,great with people and made time for everyone. 
This is a good trip and appropriately rates in terms of challenge presented
All of it


Cannot rate highly enough


Just enjoy


Just our thanks. Would be nice to see more younger people - are there options 
for a more budget/roughing it experience?

Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina is a really beautiful country with stunning mountain 
scenery. Although I'm not usually a fan of cities, all 3 cities visited on 
this trip were well worth a visit.
The mountains were also lovely and quiet, no hoards of tourists everywhere, 
in fact we hardly met another person on any of the walks.
There were many but the highlights were the ascent of Maglic Mountain and the 
river rafting.


Both our leaders, Kenan and Branko, were excellent. They were happy to share 
their extensive knowledge of the areas we visited. They were both humorous 
and engaged brilliantly with the whole group. They were very well organised, 
very safety conscious and always put in the effort to make sure the trip was 
thoroughly enjoyable.


Be prepared for quite a few hours in the minibus as the transfers are often 
quite long and the roads can be winding.
The ascent of Maglic Mountain is a long day with some steepish sections of 
scrambling/via ferrata but well worth the effort as it is a very rewarding 
hike. The steep sections were not difficult but if anyone has not experienced 
this type of terrain before they'll find it more challenging than a regular 
mountain path.
Take insect repellent, a couple of sections of walking had quite a few 
midges/mozzies!
You can easily change up Bosnian currency once you arrive - there was an ATM 
and a currency exchange very close to the first night's hotel in Trebinje.
There is a lot to fit in to 9 days but you do get to see a lot of Bosnia in 
that time and it is well worth visiting.


It was very moving to see so many cemeteries, a poignant reminder of the war 
in the early '90's but this is a beautiful country that deserves to be 
visited.

I really enjoyed this trip. Both the guide (Kenan) and the assistant guide 
(Branko) contributed a lot to this and ensured everything was going smoothly 
and were listening to the group as well as the individual's requests and 
tried to accommodate to those requests as much as possible.

In summary, excellent guides, very good group as well as good weather. What 
else could I ask for?! ;) Good weather is important since on a rainy day the 
climb to the various summits would not be possible as the terrain would be 
too slippery and quite dangerous.

Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina is a beautiful country with breathtaking scenery. The 
image of walking through the green meadows covered with variety of wild 
flowers and surrounded by high mountains will always stay with me and just 
the thought of it will give me positive energy.
- Hiking through the beautiful meadows covered with varieties of wild flowers 
surrounded by high mountains.
- Having homemade cheese and potato pie and coffee in Lukomir village made by 
a local lady.
- Arriving at Maglic summit and looking at the breathtaking scenery all 
around us.
- Our guide (Kenan) showing us a personal family album and telling us about 
his family's contribution towards preserving the national park.
- The assistant guide (Branko) explaining about various plants and flowers 
and mushrooms.


Kenan was an excellent guide in spite of being so young. He was full of 
energy and passionate about his country as well as the nature. His family was 
in Sarajevo during the siege and he shared with us their experience during 
that time which provided me a deeper understanding of the history of this 
beautiful country.
The day after the summit he showed us the old family album and how his family 
specially his grandfather contributed to the Sutjeska national park and the 
summit. Hearing all these and looking at those old photos was very touching.

Branko, the assistant guide was as good as Kenan. They were both lively and 
energetic and were good friends and both were passionate about 
hiking/nature/history/etc.
Even though Branko is a very adventurous person and does quite dangerous 
activities in his personal time, when it came to us, he was very caring and 
considerate and was always alert and aware of our safety.
What I enjoyed most about Branko was his passion for nature and the desire to 
share his knowledge with us. Walking alongside him, you could see his eyes 
were looking around and then he would point out a unique flower or plant or 
mushroom and tell you all about it. :)


The summit day can be demanding so ensure you are fit enough before the trip. 
Also there are sections where you have to use both hands and feet ;) , so 
once again make sure you are aware of this before you sign up.


I would definitely recommend this trip.

Have you ever connected so deeply with a country, you couldn't put it into 
words? That's how I felt about Bosnia and Herzegovina. As an avid traveler, 
it's one of the few places with which I felt a bond this strong. Perhaps 
that's due to the nature of this tour -- you get a taste of various cities 
across the country, experiencing different energies and landscapes along the 
way. The one thing that remained consistent was the beautiful people and 
invigorating culture. Of course, the focus of this trip is the outdoors. I 
was happy to see the level of difficulty exceeded my expectations; it was 
more hiking and climbing (and even included a surprise via ferrata route!) 
than scenic "strolling" which is what I had envisioned -- still, it's fit for 
those who only hike occasionally. Overall, the trip was a nice balance of 
active/offbeat adventure (the majority) and opportunities to soak up the 
culture.
During our time in Sarajevo, before our trek to Lukomir, we hiked to that top 
of a mountain that played a role in the Bosnian War. Our guides were both 
children at the time of the war, and shared their stories with us -- not 
negatively, but in an inspiring, positive tone. It was something we needed to 
hear, from a locals' perspective, to fully grasp the past and understand the 
present... how it all started, what life was like during the time, how it 
ended and how far they've overcome and continue to grow from it. It was a 
powerful, emotional and beautiful moment.


Our group leader, Eldar, was a perfect leader. He established an open 
foundation for communication early on, which was a nice ice breaker for the 
group. He's fun, humorous, caring and accommodating ... the list goes on. His 
assistant, Nedim, also contributed to our group's incredible experience -- 
they're personalities meshed really well together; by the end of the trip, we 
all felt like family.


Bring sleeping pills to knock you out the first few days -- the beginning of 
the trip is the most active/exhausting. You'd think all the hiking/climbing 
would wear you out, but a few of us actually found it to raise our adrenaline 
and keep us up at night!


Exodus is amazing. Bosnia and Herzegovina is breathtaking. And I can't wait 
to do both again. :)

This was my first trip to this part of the world and went with an open mind regarding the turbulent recent history of the country but what I found was a wonderfully warm, hospitable and friendly country with no hangover from the past.
The walking was truly wonderful with spectacular views wherever you looked, from the magnificent  Sutjeska national park where Bosnia's highest mountain (Maglic)  resides along with some wonderful ancient forests to the mountains around Sarajevo and the visit to Bosnia's highest inhabited village  (1469m).
Walking in the Bosnian mountains really is a hidden gem and something anyone that enjoys walking should do before the world finds out about this.
The city trips of both Sarajevo and Mostar were equally a great part of the trip and both city guides were not only informative and knowledgeable but also warm, friendly and answered every question that was put to them.
Meeting the inhabitants of the country's highest inhabited village and having lunch that they kindly prepared for us, the walk to the village was truly spectacular with stunning views wherever you looked, the friendliness and unassuming nature of the villagers was indeed inspirational as it is a tough life living off the land and I can imagine that the winters can be harsh and long!

Samer was a wonderful leader, his knowledge of the mountains was second to none and he looked after the group with patience and encouragement throughout, even on some of the more arduous climbs.
He was more than just a leader though, he was a historian always happy to answer any question the group might have, he was an interpreter when we had problems getting out requests across to the locals and at times he was a comedian with his own brand of humour!....... if you get Samer as your guide you can be reassured that you will be in safe hands!

The walking is rather strenuous and a fair bit tougher than we have in the UK but it is easily done with anyone that is a regular walker and the views more than make up for the effort!

Bosnia is a wonderful and diverse country and really is somewhere to visit before the "secret" get out!.... Sarajevo is a wonderful city and somewhere I would go back again to spend more time in, Mostar has its own natural beauty beside the famous bridge, with its rich history and narrow cobbled streets.
One great upside of Bosnia is the cost of living, dinner with wine or beer would not be much more than about 20marka (£10) and I bought the whole group (15 of us)  an ice cream in Sarajevo and still had change from £10... 
If there was a downside in Bosnia it is that they still allow smoking in restaurants, cafes and bars but this should not distract you from visiting this wonderful country and the air in the mountains is unpolluted and smoke free!!...
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
