Tailor-made Wildlife Holidays

We excel at designing holidays which allow you the flexibility and freedom to travel how, when and where you want to go. Our specialist team assists with and oversees all tailor-made enquiries. Every member of our team has travelled extensively and has intimate knowledge of wildlife hotspots across the world, and we have 30 years’ experience of building up a superb network of the best local naturalist guides and accommodation in all the destinations we travel to on our tailor-made wildlife tours.

Whether you fancy a self-drive holiday on Vancouver Island looking for bears and whales or a tailor-made safari in search of lion, wild dog and other classic African mammals and birds, we can tailor the ideal private group holiday to suit your needs and budget. Perhaps a gentle walking and natural history trip in Europe’s mountains or a photographic holiday is more to your liking. Whatever your holiday requirements, our wildlife specialists are on hand to bring it to life.

Local Naturalist Guides

Our expert leaders are all-round naturalists with a wealth of field and leadership experience. Nothing beats local knowledge, and we pride ourselves in our incredible network of local naturalist guides in the destinations we visit, built up through personal contacts and our own travel experiences over the last 30 years and more. Quite simply, our local guides are chosen for being the best in their field, and some of our wildlife holidays offer one guide per client. Many have specialisms such as ornithology, big cats, whales and dolphins or botany, and many are also fluent in two or more languages, and have additional skills such as photography. Last but equally importantly, they bring the trip to life, often going far above and beyond expectations to ensure you have a memorable trip.

Our Specialist Team

Our specialist team has a wealth of experience in both tailor-made travel and wildlife-focused travel. With over 30 years of experience in creating the best tailor-made wildlife holidays, we have an unrivalled body of expertise in-house and amongst our network of local guides across the world. We will help guide you through all the options, and provide ‘trip ideas’, put together by our team who have already ‘been there and done it’. These give you an idea of possibilities and guideline prices, but you are in the driving seat and our expert team will help create a holiday to meet your exact requirements. You are welcome to meet us face-to-face or to work together with us remotely, whichever suits you best. We’ll be here to guide you and give our first-hand advice and key information at every stage.

Flexibility

A tailor-made holiday puts you in control and offers the flexibility to choose the departure and return date that suits you, the make-up of the group you are travelling with and accommodation of your choice. It also allows you to focus on specific destinations or interests, to spend as many days as you would like in particular locations in search of species of interest, or cultural aspects. We can also factor relaxation time into the itinerary as required. In essence, you have an enormous amount of freedom and flexibility to design your holiday to suit all members of the group, drawing on our collective expertise to assist at every stage, and to do all the organising and booking tasks for you.

Private Group Holidays

Whilst our roots are in creating tailor-made wildlife holidays, our collection of small group tours is rapidly expanding, and a large number of these can be adapted to be taken on a private basis. Please do call us to discuss your requirements – whether you wish to travel as an extended family group, to celebrate a special anniversary, as a couple, with friends or with your club, society or natural history group. Each tour is carefully designed around your particular needs and our expert wildlife consultants are on hand to answer your questions, provide trip suggestions, booking information and send out all documents to every member of the group, should you require this, to make the process as smooth and easy as possible for you.

Tailor-made Safaris

A safari is at the top of many people’s wildlife wish-lists, and we have a long history of expertise designing tailor-made safaris to Africa, as well as India, Nepal and other destinations. A tailor-made safari gives you enormous choice – you can opt for a classic vehicle safari and enjoy the benefit of being able to go where you want, and enjoy superb wildlife sightings. Some destinations in India and Africa offer walking safaris and this is a truly unforgettable way to feel at one with nature. We can also offer fly-in safaris, self-drive and river safaris. Whether you fancy a classic lodge-based safari holiday to Tanzania, a true ‘bush experience’ combining walking and camping, a specialist art or photographic safari, or a luxury safari, we can design a tailor-made itinerary to suit your budget. Our roots are in tailor-made African safaris – contact our expert team to discuss your dream safari holiday.

Accommodation

A tailor-made holiday gives you a wide – and perhaps, at first, bewildering – range of accommodation options. However, our expert team know the best places to stay, right in the heart of the wildlife action you are interested in – whether staying at a rustic lodge in the heart of the Pantanal’s Jaguar Zone, or the edge of a national park in a top tiger watching area, in remote wilderness cabins, or on a mobile camping safari, we can guide you as to the best lodges, hotels and homestays according to your budget and wildlife wish-list. Our expert team can give you a rough idea of what options there are within certain budgets.
