Top 12 Wildlife Experiences

Here are some examples of the incredible wildlife adventures we can weave into your dream holiday, whether it's solely focused on wildlife or part of your broader itinerary...

The Classic “Big Five” Safari (South Africa)

Immerse yourself in the heart of the African bush and get ready to high-five the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo) in the Kruger National Park. Don’t forget about the other wild friends such as hippos, hyenas, zebras, and giraffes.

The Great Migration Safari (Tanzania)

Imagine millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thundering across vast plains of the Serengeti to find greener pastures. In short, this is the Great Migration - the largest terrestrial mammal migration on the planet, and a safari experience that will leave you awestruck!

Gorilla Trekking (Rwanda and Uganda)

Far over the misty mountains we go… To witness the incredible bond and gentle nature of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. By the way, did you know that gorillas are highly intelligent and have been observed using human tools and learning sign language? Get ready for a moving encounter with our not-that-distant cousins.

Bengal Tigers (India)

If you’re a big cat enthusiast, you can earn your stripes by tracking the majestic Bengal tiger through the dense jungles of India. A rare experience, especially when you consider how endangered tigers are - only around 5,000 tigers are left in the wild.

Elephant Spectacle (Sri Lanka)

Get ready for a Sri Lankan adventure where the wildlife is seriously wild! It boasts the world's highest density of leopards (hello, Yala National Park!) and guarantees thrilling elephant sightings – especially the epic "Gathering" at Minneriya during dry season, when hundreds of them throw a pool party. Plus, it's a global hotspot for magnificent blue whale watching.

Jungle Apes (Borneo)

This half-Indonesian, half-Malaysian (not forgetting about the small Kingdom of Brunei) island is one of only two places on Earth where you can hang out (from a respectful distance!) with wild orangutans. These intelligent, ginger-haired giants are truly amazing to watch in their rainforest home. Also, keep an eye out for the bizarre, long-nosed Proboscis monkeys, the super-elusive Sunda clouded leopard, and the spectacular hornbill birds.

Grizzlies and Whales (Canada)

Witness nature's undisputed angling champions: grizzly bears! These incredible creatures have truly mastered the salmon scramble for their dinner in the wild rivers. Then, shift your gaze to Canada's stunning coastline, where the ocean's gentle giants put on an equally breathtaking display. You can spot majestic whales engaging in incredible acrobatics.

Wildlife Party (Costa Rica)

Costa Rica is the ultimate wildlife party packed into a tiny country! This place is a true biodiversity hotspot, somehow squeezing over 5% of the world's species into just 0.03% of the planet's landmass! You're in for a treat with adorable animals such as sloths, hummingbirds, toucans, sea turtles, and iguanas.

The Epic Amazon and Pantanal (Brazil)

Brazil offers unparalleled wildlife, primarily within two key ecosystems. First, plunge into the Amazon, the planet's largest tropical rainforest – a non-stop carnival of creatures, from chattering monkeys and dazzling birds to pink river dolphins, sloths, and stealthy big cats. Second, buckle up for the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland and the Jaguar Capital of the World – your golden ticket to seeing jaguars in the wild!

Darwin’s Playground (Galapagos Islands)

The Galapagos Islands, the place where Charles Darwin sparked his evolution theory, are bursting with unique animals found nowhere else. And here's the best part: thanks to living their best predator-free lives, animals here are unusually tame and unfraid of humans!

An Endemic Kaleidoscope (Australia)

Australia lets you meet some of the most unique and quirky creatures on Earth. Imagine face-to-face encounters with the iconic kangaroos, sleepy koalas munching on eucalyptus leaves, or even a selfie with a smiling quokka on Rottnest Island! Beyond the cuddly, expect spectacular, unique birds and incredible marine life at the Great Barrier Reef. From the outback to the coastlines, it's an unforgettable journey into astonishing biodiversity.

The Last True Wilderness (Antarctica)

Uninhabited and owned by no one, Antarctica is a place like no other on Earth. But it’s bursting with life! Several penguin species, enormous seal colonies, magnificent whales and soaring albatrosses are among the creatures that call this frozen desert home. Prepare to meet the coolest residents on Earth!
