Our Top 5: Memorable trips and Best Wildlife Safaris

Our specialist team here at Wildlife Worldwide take the opportunity to travel whenever they can, for business or pleasure. It has been difficult to choose but here is a selection of some of our favourite, most memorable trips and best safari holidays.

Botswana Safari - Chris Breen
The Okavango Delta is surely one of the safari-goers iconic ‘marker posts’. Rich with birdlife, centrally located to enable visits to Moremi, Savute, Chobe and of course the wonderful Victoria Falls, the Okavango is a really magnificent safari stop. Our ‘Highlights of Botswana and Victoria Falls’ takes in all of these and a stay on a lovely houseboat too.
Recommended Wildlife Holiday: Highlights of Botswana & Victoria Falls
When: July & October
How much: From £3,090

Finland Wildlife Photography - Sally Jefferis
The observation and photography season of the brown bear and wolverine starts in early April, as the bears start waking up from their hibernation, and lasts until October. During the first three or four weeks, they can be photographed against a snowy background. There is also the possibility to catch a glimpse of the elusive wolf.
I can’t wait to go back!
Recommended Wildlife Holiday: Brown Bears in Finland
When: May to mid August
How much: From £960

Galapagos Holidays - Isabel Ashworth
The Galapagos Islands make a marvellous year round destination and offer fantastic wildlife viewing – whether on land, by boat or in the water, all surrounded by spectacular scenery. What really struck me was the variety of wildlife on the islands we visited, which were all in relative close proximity to each other along with its astounding, nonchalant attitude.
Recommended Wildlife Holiday: Wildlife of Educador & the Galapagos
When: July & October
How much: From £2,540

Madagascar Holidays - Chris Osborn
Visiting Madagascar is like visiting another world. I will never forget the dawn call of the indri or seeing the world’s smallest chameleon. There are vast, spectacular fields of jagged rocks surrounded by endemic baobabs. Together with the culture, a unique mix of African and Asian influences, makes this a place you will never forget.
Recommended Wildlife Holiday: Classic Wildlife Highlights
When: Year round
How much: From £3,185


Mozambique Safaris - Teresa Bennett
With new flights accessing more remote areas, the 45 minute flight into Nampula provided easy access to the old capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilha
de Mozambique. Snorkelling in the lagoon next to our lodge I even saw the very rare African angelfish. What a perfect, relaxing end to
our safari!
Recommended Wildlife Holiday: Safari & Beach
When: April to October
How much: From £3,435
