From safaris to the seas, explore nature's wonders up close
Few experiences compare to the thrill of a safari across Africa’s vast plains. In Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara, witness the Great Migration and herds of elephants, lions, and giraffes roaming free. South Africa offers the luxury of private reserves, blending five-star lodges with expert-led game drives. From sunrise safaris to sundowner cocktails by a waterhole, a safari is the ultimate wildlife encounter, and a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Sri Lanka is a jewel for wildlife lovers, combining golden beaches with lush national parks. In Yala, elephants, leopards, and sloth bears wander amongst ancient ruins, while Minneriya hosts the world-famous “Gathering”, hundreds of elephants coming together at once. Add in whale watching off the southern coast and colourful birdlife in the highlands, and Sri Lanka offers a diverse wildlife experience with a cultural twist.
Costa Rica is a haven for biodiversity, where cloud forests, jungles, and beaches teem with life. Trek through rainforest trails in search of sloths, monkeys, and toucans, or glide along mangroves by boat spotting crocodiles and iguanas. Both coasts offer unforgettable encounters, from sea turtles nesting to whales breaching offshore. With eco-luxury lodges set in breathtaking landscapes, Costa Rica is the ultimate destination for nature at its most vibrant.
Whale watching brings a sense of wonder that’s hard to match. The Azores, set in the Atlantic, are one of the world’s best places to see blue and sperm whales, while Iceland’s dramatic fjords host humpbacks and orcas in summer. Further afield, Canada and Alaska offer thrilling encounters with pods of whales against stunning backdrops of glaciers and forests. Wherever you go, seeing these giants of the ocean in the wild is unforgettable.
The Galápagos are a living museum of evolution, home to wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Walk alongside giant tortoises, snorkel with playful sea lions, and spot blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas. Luxury expedition cruises and eco-lodges give you a front-row seat to one of the most extraordinary ecosystems in the world. A trip here feels like stepping into another planet, untouched, unique, and utterly captivating.
For a different kind of wildlife adventure, head to India’s national parks in search of the elusive Bengal tiger. Ranthambore, Kanha, and Bandhavgarh offer thrilling jeep safaris, where you might also see leopards, wild boar, and a dazzling array of birdlife. Combined with India’s rich culture and history, a tiger safari offers a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of one of the world’s most iconic animals.
