The art of travelling with respect
Wildlife
Viewing wildlife in their natural habitat can be one of the most incredible travel experiences any of us can have. Whether you have always longed to see an elephant or want a chance to see the endangered Mountain Gorilla, we can help you get closer to your dream. This is a list of some of the animals and birds which travellers are more commonly looking for. Here you will find our suggestions as to where you might find them.
If you have a passion to see wildlife not on the list, by all means let us know and we''d be glad to advise you.
Dolphins
Common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins are playful, gregarious animals, with common dolphins appearing to 'love' boats, and bottlenose most happily tolerating humans swimming amongst them. Dolphins are actually small, toothed whales.
Giant Otters
The Giant Otter is the world's largest otter species, measuring up to 1.8m and weighing 32 kg. They live in the rivers and creeks of the Amazon, Orinoco and La Plata river systems. They live in family groups of up to 20 animals.
Jaguar
Jaguars can be found in a variety of habitats, ranging from temperate or subtropical forest to grassland, scrub woodland and savanna. They are powerfully built, with short, thick legs and have a bigger head, broader face and thicker, shorter tail than leopards.
Macaws
Macaws are the largest members of the parrot family, and the 17 macaw species are amongst some of the most endangered bird species in the world. They are very sociable birds, living in groups of up to 100, and have a variety of habitats from tropical rainforest to savannah.
Monkeys
There are over 300 monkey species in the world, living in Africa, South and Central America and Asia. Although they vary hugely in size and colour, all are 'higher primates', with a larger brain than many other animals.
Whales
For many, the sight of a single whale, or group of whales, is a moving, unforgettable experience. These giant creatures, which live entirely in the water but need to come to the surface to breathe, are quite simply awe-inspiring. The blue whale is the heaviest and longest animal on Earth.

All arrangements made by Tribes were excellent and any problems were at a local level
Level would have been 'excellent' if it had not been for the less than satisifactory elements mentioned below.
Complicated itinerary but all transfers went according to plan including meeting up with our son for the last week. A memorable holiday.
The three locations we had chosen were all brilliant. Travel between them turned out to be completely stress-free.
Everything ran very smoothly from visiting the locations, hotels, to the pick ups and the guides.
