Patagonia Wildlife Trips

The Kruger National Park, known for being one of the best places on the planet to have the chance to view the Big Five. It is a must visit for first timers to South Africa. The itinerary is beautifully balanced with safari and a chance to view natural wonders along the Panoramic Route. I would highly recommend this trip if you are a wildlife enthusiast!

Iara Musumeci was a fantastic guide. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring. The only flaw with the itinerary was the connection between Patagonia and Iguazu. In all other respects it was a great trip!

Our tour leader for Sri Lanka Viraj was amazing . Gave so much of himself to make the trip the most positive experience for the group. His care and attention to details was outstanding. He took us to many extra place en route which was so interesting. Thank you so much Viraj. The tour was fantastic a real whirlwind seeing Sri Lanka in a week. The Maldives on the Dhoni boat was a real experience. The boat is basic but clean and everything you need. The food was delicious… so much beautifully prepared food … great flavours produced from a galley kitchen I would thoroughly recommend this holiday for those who want a fast paced .. see everything holiday and enjoys the snorkling experience. Our guide on the boat was excellent too. They took so much care of me as a first time snorkeller !

Our trip to the Kruger National Park was nothing short of unforgettable. The itinerary was incredibly well planned, giving us the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. We had more than enough time to explore the park’s beauty, and still enjoy peaceful downtime by the pool, soaking in the atmosphere and the breathtaking surroundings. The scenery was truly awe‑inspiring—from holding our breath as we watched lions in their natural habitat, to being completely mesmerized during the panoramic route. Every moment felt magical. A huge part of what made this experience exceptional was our guide. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but also a true people’s person—engaging, warm, and passionate about the wildlife and the park. His insights and enthusiasm added so much to the journey. This trip was an incredible blend of excitement, beauty, and serenity. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and meaningful experience in nature.

The trip to Sri Lanka and The Maldives lived up to my expectations. The itinerary in Sri Lanka was busy but it meant we covered a great deal of the country and saw some wonderful sights. Our tour leader, Ash, was passionate about his country and helped make it the experience it was. Continuing on to the Maldives provided a relaxing week with dome super snorkeling. Our guide, Moosa, was efficient in making sure we got the most out of the experience and he and the crew of Gulfaam really looked after us all.

From steamy Tortoguero, with the howler monkeys waking us up at 5.00am (no need for an alarm!) to cool, mountainous Savegre thronging with hummingbirds, this was a tour of contrasting habitats each with their own variety of wildlife, plants and flowers. In addition to the wildlife elements of the tour, visits to the Aquiares coffee factory and CAITE research centre were incredibly interesting. The optional visit to the Bri Bri community was well worth it; we learned all about how chocolate is made from scratch and had great fun trying each part of the process. While there were some longer travel days, they were well paced, never felt too onerous and we often saw interesting things en route. The boat trips were fantastic- just getting to Tortoguero and to Drake Bay were experiences in themselves, with opportunity to see lot of wildlife on the way. The snorkelling trip was amazing- we were able to swim above sea turtles, rays and amongst lots of colourful fish. Even if you don't snorkel, the boat trip was worth doing- we saw a pod of humpback whales quite close to the boat, and a variety of birds. The accommodation was comfortable and in all the hotel grounds we were able to spot a variety of wildlife- great for photographers who enjoy having a camera/phone in one hand and a 'sundowner' in the other!
