Wildlife Holidays
Juicy Finland
Walks Worldwide still has space on its 10-day trekking holiday exploring the beautiful frontier forests hugging Finland’s border with Russia. With 24-hour daylight, pretty lakeside cabins with saunas, canoe trips along sparkling rivers and forests brimming with berry bushes providing healthy and juicy snacks for passing walkers – it doesn’t get much better than this.

There’s more to a safari than wildlife
Whilst one of the main reasons for taking a trip to Southern Africa is likely to be an opportunity to see the Big 5 in their natural surroundings, the region can also offer a whole range of unique activities that have nothing to do with wildlife at all! Specialist Southern Africa operator Native Escapes offers tailor made and small group trips which include exciting safari adventures, including day and night Big 5 game drives, bush walks, and opportunities to see wildlife from a canoe or boat, as well as other experiences not always associated with a safari trip.
