Wildlife grading

When it comes to wildlife, there are no guarantees. But with our new wildlife grades, we've rated our Wildlife trips to show how much focus is on trying to spot animals, to help you decide which trip suits you. Read on discover what the grades mean and find your next wildlife tour.

These tours are entirely centred around wildlife viewing. Every aspect of the holiday has been designed to maximise face-to-face encounters with wildlife - from the accommodation to your Tour Leader - offering an in-depth and immersive experience. 

On these trips wildlife viewing will be a significant component, but not the sole focus. Expect more frequent and planned opportunities to observe wildlife, providing a balanced mix of wildlife experiences and other holiday activities.

If you're choosing a destination for its cultural, historical or culinary highlights first and wildlife second, these trips are ideal - they include wildlife encounters as part of a wider itinerary. While wildlife viewing isn't the primary focus, you could experience chance encounters and memorable sightings as you engage in other activities.
