    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

      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.

    • Elephants

      Elephants

      The largest land mammal in the world, the male African elephant can be up to four metres tall - as high as a double-decker bus - and weigh over six tonnes. The average Asian male elephant is shorter than a male African elephant, up to three metres high and five tones in weight.

    • Lions

      Lions

      The lion is the only social cat, and it is the largest African carnivore. There is also a rare sub-species, the Asiatic lion, of which there are only around 300 now left in India's Gir Forest.

    • Monkeys

      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.

    • Tigers

      Tigers

      The largest of the big cats, tigers are magnificent animals whose numbers have been decimated over the last century, dropping by over 95%. Bengal tigers live in a range of habitat, including cool, high-altitude forests, reedlands, mangroves, rainforests, arid forests or scorched hills, with some males occupying - and fiercely protecting - up to 800 sq km of territory.

    • Wild Dogs

      Wild Dogs

      African Wild Dogs are also called painted dogs because of their markings, which are unique to each dog. Although once found widely across most of Africa, African Wild Dogs have been persecuted to the edge of extinction. It is believed that less than 4,000 now exist in the wild. The India Wild Dog, also known as Dholes, are even more endangered.
