The world would be a poorer place without elephants! Literally without their environmental engineering skills ecosystems would collapse, and spiritually there would be a gigantic void in Africa and Asia's wild places.

Take a moment today to honour these mighty creatures and perhaps consider how you could support conservation efforts to protect them.

A lasting impression from a recent trip to China was the vastness of its wild areas.

It might be one of the most populous countries in the world, but it is far from the most densely populated. It is simply too big!

If you want to get off the beaten path consider Sichuan Province…

Costa Rica; active or relaxing tropical adventure - you choose!

Earlier this year I visited Kibale Forest where I had one of the most magical, intense, immersive and funny (talk about extreme flatulence) wildlife viewing experiences to date! Chimp trekking is often compared to gorilla trekking but it is a remarkable encounter in its own right. In Uganda, Kibale Forest is considered the best place for chimp trekking, as it has high population densities, and the chances is seeing chimps are very high. Besides chimps there are 13 other primate species as well as fantastic forest birding. Kibale chimp treks are about 3 hours long, limited to 6 people per group (16 years +) and include a maximum of an hour with the chimps, during which you can view them from a safe distance of 8-10 metres. Masks must be worn while watching the chimps but can be removed for trekking. #ugandawildlife #chimptrekking #chimpanzees #ugandasafari #kibalenationalpark
