Serengeti, Africa

For sheer scale and diversity of wildlife, the Serengeti is hard to beat. The lion’s share of the Serengeti is in North Tanzania and extends into south west Kenya. Endless grass plains play host to the largest mammal migration on the planet, including a staggering two million wildebeest.

Lions

The plains of the Serengeti are the richest grazing grounds in Africa and are absolutely teeming with wildlife. There’s an incredible concentration of predators, including huge lion prides and countless cheetah.

Elephants You’re also likely to see elephants, zebra, giraffes, buffalo and maybe even a leopard or two if you’re very fortunate.

Sharing the vast plains of Africa with these majestic creatures is an incredibly humbling experience.

Uganda & Rwanda

Deep in the forest of central Africa lives the extremely rare mountain gorilla. Estimated total worldwide population is less than 800, so the best place to spot the Bwindi is in impenetrable forest in south west Uganda or for the Virunga mountains of northern Rwanda.

Mountain Gorillas

Remote location means only a privileged few get to see these gorillas. Largest of the primates, gorillas are unexpectedly graceful and behave so much like humans that coming face to face with them is a mesmerising experience.

ChinaFound in remote mountain regions of China, in the Sichuan, Shaanxi & Gansu provinces, this peaceful, bamboo-munching member of the bear family is universally loved.

It is also an endangered species, with only around 1,600 individuals thought to be living in the wild…

Giant Panda

Instantly recognisable, with distinctive black patches around their eyes, ears and bodies - seeing Pandas in the wild is a unforgettable.

Kaikoura, New Zealand

Set on the wild east coast of New Zealand, Kaikoura’s spectacular backdrop is the Kaikoura Mountain Ranges. An offshore undersea canyon 2km deep combines with unusual sea currents to make this an incredible place to see a profusion of marine life, most famously the immense Sperm Whale.

Whale Watching

Keep an eye out for Humpback, Pilot and Southern Right whales or even a mighty Blue Whale. You’ll see dolphins and maybe Orcas, the largest of the dolphin (commonly known as killer whales).

Galapagos IslandsThe Galapagos marine reserve is home to an incredible number of endemic species, (in other words not found anywhere else in the world).

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was heavily influenced by his observations on a visit to these islands in 1835.

Giant Tortoise

The giant tortoise is the most famous resident. Due to a lack of natural predators, the tortoises are incredibly tame, making for an unforgettable, up close wildlife encounter. Credit: apgov4life.blogspot.com
