Safaris & wildlife

Safaris & wildlife


Safari remains one of the most evocative words in the travel lexicon. We live on a planet increasingly dominated (and, most would agree, imperiled) by the relentless expansion of one species – homo sapiens – but frankly it’s the other residents and their habitats that are the planet’s real attraction.

Beyond the ‘big five’ and assorted others on the African savannah, there are destinations across the continents where watching wildlife will prove every bit as rewarding. Armed with first-hand knowledge of every place in our portfolio, our consultants can talk you through the best way to experience safaris as diverse as the mass migration of hundreds of species of birds into the Danube Delta in Romania or sightings of the elusive jaguar in Brazil’s Pantanal.

Original Thinking

Original Travel offers trips to see nature ‘red in tooth and claw’ but also at its most beautiful. The quintessential safari experience remains that in East and Southern Africa, where the planet’s biggest beasties still roam, and the addition of safari specialists Tim Best Travel to the OT team means we have even more in-depth knowledge of what to see where, and equally importantly – when and how.
