It was wonderful to get back to Estonia recently, working alongside NaTourEst.

We visited some of the country's best wildlife sites including the wooded meadows of Laelatu and Loode, and the wetlands of Viidumäe and Sooma.

There were breathtaking displays of Lady's Slippers, tail-slapping Beavers, puddling Poplar Admirals and a feast of carnivorous plants, all topped off with a wonderful dusk encounter with a Ural Owl.

Join us this August for an unforgettable wildlife trip of a lifetime, in search of Snow Leopards and so much more.

Mongolia has become THE place to see Snow Leopards in recent years, with very high success rates for sightings at relatively low altitudes (2500-3000m, much more comfortable than the high mountains of the Himalayas), together with easy travel and comfortable accommodation, along with a ‘supporting cast’ of Pallas’s Cat, Grey Wolf, Przewalski’s Horse, Saiga and some super bird life.

Our itinerary takes a more relaxed pace and more wide-ranging wildlife focus than others.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of seeing a Snow Leopard in the wild, maybe this year is the time to make that dream come true?

Flirting butterflies, colourful dragonflies, gurgling herons, giant moths and a good sweep of orchids: we crammed a lot into our recent holiday by train in La Brenne.

We’re already looking forward to next year!

We're recently back from a wonderful week in Lesvos.

Blue skies, blue seas, smiling travellers and some fantastic wildlife, from finding a Great Snipe on our very first afternoon, to Grand Antlion and the Spoon-tailed Lacewing on our last excursion, with beautiful Holy Orchids at the roadside every day.

Already looking forward to returning in 2025! Check our website for a trip report and full Flickr photo gallery.

Our spring visit to Cyprus has always been popular for its fantastic displays of wildflowers. True to form our recent holiday, expertly guided by Sarah and Chris, treated our group to orchids galore. There was plenty of other wildlife on offer including a wonderful encounter with a European Tarantula, birds, butterflies and, in the words of Chris, an “absolutely adorable” European Worm Snake.

Preserving these wild cats is crucial for maintaining a healthy and productive mountain ecosystem.

At the end of November a group of Wildlife Travellers set out to explore Central Chile on a long-overdue return (aren't all our visits to Chile long-overdue?!)

From Monkey Puzzles to Darwin's Frogs, a fine selection of lizards, Burrowing Parrots, Torrent Ducks and a 'river' of Alstroemeria, Chile did not disappoint.

A report of our visit is now available on our website along with a selection of photos on our Flickr pages.

Hasta la próxima Chile!
