About Nature / Wildlife / Safari touring
Nature, Wildlife and Safari Tours offer some of the most dramatic travel memories and with little control over nature and wildlife - a packaged holiday experience providing contact with untamed wildlife is a gift and a blessing. The spectacular panoramas of wide open plains and close encounters with the wild are all part of a Nature, Wildlife and Safari Tour. Our holiday partners have a wealth of experience in creating memorable moments and unforgettable holidays. Some of the most likely ‘Nature, Wildlife and Safari Tours and holiday Packages’ to be offered include;
A visit the Amazon Rainforest - Spread over nine countries and 6 million sq km, the Amazon is the largest and most species-rich tropical rainforest in the world. Or tour the Galapagos Islands - The Ecuadorian islands made famous by Charles Darwin, remain one of the most unique wildlife-spotting locations anywhere. Animals with no fear of humans make getting back to nature almost effortless. Visit Costa Rica - An early adopter of environmental ethics and its location as a land bridge between two species-rich continents combine to make Costa Rica a first class bird (or sloth or monkey) watcher's trip. Or tour the amazing Madagascar - A mind-boggling collection of endemic species and a sparse human population make Madagascar an eco-traveller's dream, with the endangered lemur as the hands-down superstar of the wild performance. Try an expedition cruise to Antarctica – perhaps the world's environment least touched by human activity, Antarctica's wildlife is unique in both scale and accessibility; from whales, to seals, to penguins by the thousands, Antarctica is truly nature "in the raw". And the typical African Safari – is still one the world’s outstanding safari destinations. The Serengeti's Great Migration between Kenya and Tanzania of over a million animals is one of the world's great wildlife spectacles. Experience places like the 7,500-foot-high Ngorongoro Crater or maybe climb Mt Kilimanjaro, tour the Kruger National Park, or visit the Masai MaraTribes.
