    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.

    • Albatross

      Albatross

      The Waved Albatross of the Galapagos Islands has a huge 2-2.5m wingspan, making it the largest bird on the Galapagos Islands.

    • Dolphins

      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.

    • Galapagos Tortoise

      Galapagos Tortoise

      The Giant Tortoise is probably the most famous resident of the Galapagos Islands and gave the archipelago its name - galapago is the Spanish name for tortoise.

    • Penguins

      Penguins

      With their upright stance, distinctive black and white colouring and agility in the water, penguins are entertaining and enchanting to watch and - in warmer waters - to swim amongst.

    • Sharks and Whale Sharks

      Sharks and Whale Sharks

      There are over 400 different species of sharks, 100 of which can be found in the waters off the coast of South Africa. Whale sharks are actually the world's largest living fish, growing up to 13m long and up to 13 tonnes in weight and reputedly living up to 100 years. These huge beasts are harmless filter feeders that migrate round warm waters.

    • Whales

      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.
