Wildlife Worldwide Small Group Tours Brochure 2024

Small Group Tours

WELCOME

I’m delighted to welcome you to the latest brochure for our Small Group Tours collection which continues to go from strength to strength. This issue contains an outstanding selection of trips and exclusive voyages offering excellent opportunities to watch and photograph wildlife. Among more than 270 hand-picked wildlife holidays are several exciting new trips to some of the greatest wildlife hotspots on Earth.

Close to home, we offer a week exploring England’s South Coast to discover our incredibly rich indigenous fauna and flora. There's also an autumn tour to northern Finland focusing on the boreal forest’s most iconic wildlife: brown bears, wolves and wolverines. In the Indian subcontinent, you can seek out red pandas, rhinos and tigers. Meanwhile, our Antarctic Circle: Penguin & Whale Safari is a must for all who, like me, have been seduced by the marvels of Antarctica and the South Atlantic.

I’m also pleased to announce that our 2026 Festival of Wildlife will take place in the magnificent island destination of Madagascar, famed for its unparalleled selection of endemic mammals, birds, invertebrates and herpetofauna. Like so many of our holidays, our Festival trips always fill up far in advance of departure, so do reserve your place as early as you can.

We’re fortunate to work with a network of exceptional professionals around the world, including experienced tour leaders, award-winning photographers, expert naturalists, and renowned writers and artists. It's often due to their personal attention and specialist field knowledge that the most memorable wildlife moments occur.

The demand for wildlife travel is higher than ever, so I warmly suggest you secure your place on your chosen trips before they fill up. With the launch of our online tour calendar booking has never been easier, but if you need any advice about your travel plans you can rely on our knowledgeable and helpful consultants. We look forward to welcoming you on your next wildlife holiday.

OUR GROUP TOURS

Travelling as part of a small group can be hugely rewarding, allowing you to meet like-minded wildlife enthusiasts and benefit from the expertise of a naturalist tour leader. We keep groups small for the vast majority of our tours – many are limited to just six people as we believe small group size is essential for maximising good wildlife sightings. Our range of group tours also includes our highly popular Festival of Wildlife groups, plus classic safari group tours and dedicated big cat, bear and whale watching holidays.

PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS

We also offer over 70 dedicated small group Photography Tours and Workshops to suit all abilities. Our collection of holidays has been designed to offer the perfect combination of outstanding wildlife viewing, exceptional photography opportunities and expert tuition. All of our holidays are led by expert photographers, most of whom have won awards for their photography and/or work as professional photographers, and have a wealth of technical skills and field experience. For further details see our website or request our Photography Tours & Workshops Brochure.
