Wildlife Holidays

Embarking on a wildlife adventure holiday is a compelling choice for those seeking a unique and enriching travel experience. It allows you to connect with nature in a profound way, immersing yourself in the beauty of the natural world and witnessing its inhabitants in their natural habitats.

Our wildlife and safari holidays take you up close and personal to the world's most incredible animals. Wildlife experiences can take on many forms: a vehicle specially adapted for game viewing in Tanzania and India; cruising to the enchanted polar regions to see penguins and polar bears; or on foot you can see Lemurs in Madagascar or a mountain gorilla on trek in Rwanda.

More Information About Wildlife Holidays

Group sizes are limited to a maximum of 16 to allow easier interaction with the local people and to leave fewer footprints in a world where it is important that we are environmentally aware.

Wildlife Grades

To show the relative difficulty of our wild life holidays, each trip is graded on a scale of 1 to 12, with 12 being the most challenging. Although we have tried to make our grading system as clear as possible, it cannot take into account your personal interests, abilities or experience. If you have any questions about the nature of a particular trip or its suitability for you, please read the 'Is this holiday for you?' section of each trip, or contact us.
