Wildlife focused trips have always been some of our favourites to plan, and with a team full of marine biologists, birders, general wildlife aficionados and even an ex safari guide, we’ve never been better placed to offer expert knowledge and insider tips.
Dynasties, the latest masterpiece from Attenborough and co., has gripped the attention of pretty much the entire office, and has had our teams putting their heads together to come up with some pretty epic wildlife itinerary ideas for you to experience for yourself.
The series focuses on five animal families and follows each through the fascinating highs and lows of survival in the wild. For families with animal mad kids this is a great way to introduce them to the bigger cats and dogs of the world, and for adult viewers the close camera angles and intimate scenes are just magical.
While the Beeb focus on chimpanzees, emperor penguins, lions, wild dogs and tigers, there are many other amazing animal dynasties including bears, jaguars, elephants and more. Speak to our teams to see what action packed animal adventures they can personalise just for you.
