The Northwest Passage - an epic journey through landscapes and history
The Canadian High Arctic is packed with endless mountains, glaciers, tundra, remote rocky shorelines, towering granite cliffs, and unending bodies of water to explore.
The wildlife viewing is astounding with polar bears, muskoxen, beluga whales, harp seals, walruses and migratory birds, among other species.
Originally a trade route and famous in Arctic history. the Northwest Passage with its epic landscapes and indigenous communities make this sailing an adventure like no other. Talk to me about sailing with our friends Quark Expeditions

India Tiger Safari 🐅
Travel deep into the central heartland of India in search of the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger. Explore five different national parks over the course of two weeks and search for wildlife by boat and on private 4WD jeeps.
Why I love this trip:
◾️ Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve - Search for tiger in Bandhavgarh, boasting the highest population-density of tigers in the world
◾️ Kanha National Park - Spot wildlife on jeep safaris through Kanha, the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's 'Jungle Book'
◾️ Panna, Sariska and Chambal - Explore the rocky Aravalli Hills, boat along the River Chambal and drive through the forests of lesser-known Panna
This is a fabulous tour by one of my favourite small group adventure operators Explore.
Have you ever seen a tiger in the wild?
