Don't miss "The Secrets of Scott's Hut", a fantastic documentary on BBC2 at 8pm this Sunday!

Ben Fogle's documentary entitled "The Secrets of Scott's Hut" is showing this Sunday (17th) at 8PM on BBC2.

“Ben Fogle joins an expedition across Antarctica to find Captain Scott's Hut, frozen in time for a century. The hut was built to support Scott's 1911 attempt to be first to the South Pole, and was later abandoned together with ten thousand personal, everyday and scientific items. Ben uncovers the hut and its contents, finding new information about his hero Scott and his famously tragic expedition. Scott's diaries are read by Kenneth Branagh."

If you are interested in discovering Antarctica, Oceans Worldwide currently offers a broad range of expedition voyages and wildlife cruises to see some of the most exciting wildlife in the world.

For some this is a once in a lifetime experience, although we find that many return time and time again to this truly unique continent.

Zambian Safari Adventure: Customer Comment

"It was incredible. All connections went like clockwork. The lodges and people were just excellent and the jeep, boat and walking safaris were the best we had ever experienced. The four nights at Victoria Falls were action packed and The Falls were awesome. Chundakwa Lodge was lovely especially with the horses right there on your doorstep. Norman Carr Safaris were faultless from the lodge managers (Tara at Kapani and Glenn at Kakuli), all the staff and the guides were so professional and knowledgable we had brain overload. The food was healthy, tasty and varied and nothing was too much trouble, so much so we had to be careful what we wished for as the staff would immediately try and arrange it.

The Zambians were delightful and we had a lot of jokes and laughs with them. Kapani and a trip to Kakuli were perfect, enjoying the difference between the two. I couldn't say which part I enjoyed the most as everything we experienced will hold some very special memories for us, along with numerous photos and videos. At Kapani they know Chris Breen and I see from your brochure that Zambia is one of your specialities, why am I not surprised!

This is the third holiday I have had with Wildlife Worldwide, and hope it is not the last. Well done - take a bow!"

Highlights of Nepal Wildlife Holiday (Customer Comment)

"Just a quick thank you for your hard work organising our trip to Nepal. The itinerary was fantastic, and all worked out well.  We really enjoyed our time, and the people we met along the way were extremely welcoming.

A special thank you to Soham for his help and assistance whilst in Kathmandu.  If you do have the need to contact him I would appreciate you thank him for organising the delivery of our Thanka to the hotel, and if he could pass our thanks to Ratna for making such a special Thanka for us, we have a wonderful memory of Nepal.

The hotel at Pokhara was very good, and in an ideal setting.  Easily accessible to the small town, but secluded enough for a little privacy, being across the river.  We had a good view of Fishtail early morning, which was an added bonus.

What can I say about Machan, words fail me.  We felt like family by the time we left, all the staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble.  The activities were just what we required, and being a small lodge there were never large groups of people in one place at one time. We had two fantastic days bird watching and treking for animals, which proved to be worth every minute.  A special thanks to Ram and Ganesh, our guides, who managed to find wonderful birds, sight of the Rino, and fresh Tiger prints, and scats to excite us beyond belief.  The elephant safari's and being able to get so close to the elephant was a dream come true for me.  I will never forget being able to ride and bath the elephant in the river.

I have to say, Nigel, Nepal ticked all our boxes, with your help. Thanks again."

Sun and Storm over Botswana (Customer Review)

"Darkness came early on March 13th. A layer of leaden clouds descended over Maun Airport like a giant threatening duvet. The pilot of the four seater Cessna flew at a low altitude, changing direction to navigate around the rain. I arrived at the airstrip only to be greeted by an almighty thunderclap from the dark velvet sky.

I have travelled to Botswana several times before, but always in October, when the sky is a flawless azure blue, and the sun is scorchingly unforgiving. Animals are desperate for water. and competition at water holes is fierce. By mid morning they are seeking shade. A dusty arid landscape.

My camp in March is beside the now flowing Savute Channel. All about me is verdant, vibrant flora. Emerald and lime trees surround glorious grassland, dotted with an abundance of wild flowers. What a contrast with October! Now the animals seem very contented. Cheetah spots more defined. Hyena coats thick and lustrous. October in Savute resembles a different planet, for the Mopane trees are stripped bare by elephants, and black ghostly trunks and branches litter the white parched terrain. A scene of desperation and desolation, with a paucity of water, but perfect for game viewing. Elephants search longingly for water, travelling many kilometres every day.

In March, game is still about, but it takes clever guiding and intense detective work to track animals. Elephants suddenly appear through thickets. The virgin butterfly shaped leaves of the Mopane glow with a rosy hue. At dawn, tall golden grasses appear white with dew, water droplets suspended, reflecting the sunrise. Carmine Bee-eaters swoop beside the vehicle, catching insects, and butterflies abound, enjoying the colourful flower selection. It has not rained for two days, but the sky is adorned with fluffy clouds.

The Duba Plain in March is like a green fire blasting through swamps. A thousand ebony coated buffalo cross the marsh fleeing from the Tsaro lion pride, hastening to the bush, where heavily leaved branches form dark tunnels. Giraffe graze contentedly on the Acacia now, but soon their supply will be scarce in the rolling savannah of Duba. The seasonal deep water affords me a wonderful view of lions and cubs swimming through a metre deep channel.

The area around Mombo Camp now resembles a gigantic shallow lake, here and there interspersed with lily filled lagoons, like a scene from a Monet painting. Suddenly, another storm descends, sending the fauna for cover. However, it is brief, and the Monitor lizards appear again to soak up the sun.

October in Botswana is amazing, but it is so, so dry. In March the senses are bombarded by the aroma of the bush, and allured by the scent of wild sage and basil. An ornamental allotment where the wildlife feast on a market garden of vegetation. On the horizon, distant trees are etched black silhouettes. Dusk leaches colours from the sky. Mauve, cobalt, grey, and then black. Stars gradually emerge. Goodnight Botswana."
