Wildlife and Safaris

Whatever your passion, whether it is lemurs in Madagascar, hummingbirds in the Ecuadorian cloud forest or tigers in India, we are able to advise you on when you should go and which tour operator you should travel with.  More than with any other type of holiday, the importance of an expert local guide cannot be underestimated. Our specialist wildlife and safari tour operators have access to the best guides in all the top wildlife destinations.

The game reserves of Eastern and Southern Africa attract many visitors with their powerful combination of majestic wildlife and breathtaking scenery. The awesome spectacle of the great wildebeest migration is an obvious draw to the plains of the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

A full range of accommodation from colonial-style lodges to luxury-tented camps caters for all tastes and budgets. The opportunity to climb Kilimanjaro or idle away a few days on a coffee plantation or a white sandy beach can be easily incorporated - and difficult to resist! The islands of Zanzibar, the Seychelles or Mauritius and a host of alternatives can all easily be added in as beach extensions to safaris in Eastern and Southern Africa. Mozambique is rapidly becoming one of the most luxurious, sophisticated and in-places to have a barefoot-luxury beach escape.

We can arrange tailor-made itineraries or small group escorted tours - either vehicle-based or walking safaris, with hot-air balloon rides over the vast African grasslands an additional possibility! Similarly, safaris by canoe in the Okavango Delta provide a different perspective, as do safaris on horse or elephant back. Zambia, Botswana and Namibia offer some of the best safari experiences for those wishing to get away from the popular game reserves of Kenya and Northern Tanzania. Exquisite lodges and luxury tented camps provide the discerning traveller with a truly first class safari experience.

For the keen ornithologist, South America is hard to beat. The wetlands of Brazil's Pantanal, the upper reaches of the Amazon, and the Andean cloud forests, are widely considered the best bird watching opportunities the world has to offer. Rustic lodges, expert guides and canopy walks enhance the enjoyment of these spectacular environments.
