Wildlife

Viewing wildlife in their natural habitat can be one of the most incredible travel experiences any of us can have. Whether you have always longed to see an elephant or want a chance to see the endangered Mountain Gorilla, we can help you get closer to your dream. This is a list of some of the animals and birds which travellers are more commonly looking for. Here you will find our suggestions as to where you might find them.

If you have a passion to see wildlife not on the list, by all means let us know and we''d be glad to advise you.

Elephants
The largest land mammal in the world, the male African elephant can be up to four metres tall - as high as a double-decker bus - and weigh over six tonnes. The average Asian male elephant is shorter than a male African elephant, up to three metres high and five tones in weight.
Hippos
Hippos live in family groups led by a dominant male, who will fight to protect his mating territory. They are the third heaviest land animal in the world, yet in spite of its massive bulk, a hippo is remarkably agile in water - and surprisingly fast on land!
Lions
The lion is the only social cat, and it is the largest African carnivore. There is also a rare sub-species, the Asiatic lion, of which there are only around 300 now left in India's Gir Forest.
Monkeys
There are over 300 monkey species in the world, living in Africa, South and Central America and Asia. Although they vary hugely in size and colour, all are 'higher primates', with a larger brain than many other animals.
Rhino
The rhino is the world's second largest land mammal by mass, smaller only than the African elephant, and can be traced back some 50 million years. This docile herbivore grazes peacefully on the African savannah (black and white rhino) and along waterways in the National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries of India and Nepal (greater one-horned rhino).
