Wildlife Holidays

Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip

Original Travel offers tailor-made wildlife holidays to see fauna of all shapes and sizes across the seven continents, and often under the auspices of world expert guides. Even more importantly, we want our clients be able to see these wondrous animals for years to come, hence our involvement with such admirable organisations as the TUSK Trust, who are passionate about conservation in Africa; TOFT, who are trying to safeguard India's few remaining Bengal tigers; and many other smaller local projects around the world. Beyond the 'big five' and assorted others on the African savannah, there are destinations across the continents where watching wildlife will prove every bit as rewarding. Armed with first-hand knowledge of every place in our portfolio, our consultants can talk you through the best way to experience safaris as diverse as seeing polar bears in Canada, myriad species of bird in Botswana's Okavango Delta or sightings of the elusive jaguar in Brazil's Pantanal.
