From amazing sea creatures to magnificent land animals and spectacular birdlife, we can help you plan a luxury holiday to see the world’s most amazing creatures.
Explore Brazil’s unbelievable rainforests, rivers and national parks. Take a boat trip along the Amazon River and look for pink river dolphins, piranha and giant Amazon waterlilies. Trek through the Amazon rainforest, home to monkeys, toucans, pumas and iguanas, one of the richest habitats on earth.
Malaysia’s stretches of unspoilt rainforest are fantastically biodiverse. From orangutans and tapirs to tigers and sun bears, there are wonderful opportunities here to see some of the most endangered species in the world. Malaysia’s coral reefs are home to a wide array of sea life and are a fantastic place to swim, for both experienced divers and those who prefer a more leisurely pace.
If you’re looking for a real adventure, how about a polar cruise? These frozen deserts are unlike anywhere else on Earth, and a visit is a truly memorable adventure for any wildlife lover. From polar bears hunting seals on the ice in the Arctic to immense colonies of emperor penguins in Antarctica, on an Escapes by BFP luxury cruise to the polar regions, these sights will be combined with interesting wildlife lectures on ship.
For keen divers, nothing compares to the rich biodiversity of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, where you can marvel at the shoals of colourful fish darting in and out of the coral. Or how about exploring Yellowstone National Park in the USA, where you can see bears, coyotes and even bison in their natural habitat?
Whatever you’re looking for from your wildlife adventure, the Escapes by BFP team can combine personal tours led by local nature experts with incredible and luxurious places to stay to ensure your trip is truly unforgettable.
One of the most incomparable events for any wildlife lover to witness is Africa’s Great Migration. Explore Kenya’s Maasai Mara and marvel at the immense herds of zebra, wildebeest and antelope that gather there in the Serengeti. Witness them travelling thousands of miles and pay particular attention to the predators flocking to attack stragglers.
The ultimate destination for any wildlife enthusiast though must be the Galapagos Islands, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. With giant tortoises, marine iguanas, flamingos, giant tortoises and frigatebirds, the ecosystem of the Galapagos is truly remarkable, as are the lush, tropical rainforest surroundings. There are no natural predators living on the Galapagos which makes many of the animals incredibly tame and startlingly comfortable around humans. Get up close and personal with these amazing creatures, then rest in the lap of luxury in an Escapes by BFP hotel.
On a wildlife holiday, it’s particularly important to think about the best times of year to see certain types of animals. Factors such as when they mate, when they give birth, if they hibernate, and if they migrate have a big impact on when and where to see them.
Our talented team of travel experts can talk you through the very best times to visit certain destinations to see various creatures. From amazing lodges deep within the jungle or savannah to beautiful beachside boutiques, we can find you the perfect place to stay from which to set off on your luxury wildlife adventure.
High summer in Antarctica is a great time to see penguins and seals. The long days allow plenty of light for spotting the stunning wildlife which calls Antarctica home. Penguin chicks are born in the summertime, so this is a great time to spot these beautiful creatures.
February is a great time to visit the Galapagos, where marine iguanas are at their most colourful for mating season.
In Botswana, April is antelope breeding season so you might be able to witness some spectacular mating rituals and fierce fighting between the bucks. Humpback whales also move up the East African coast to have their calves, so if whale watching is for you, it’s a great time to visit Tanzania and Kenya. April sees turtle eggs hatching in the Galapagos, making this a wonderful opportunity to experience an unforgettable natural wonder.
This is peak time for visiting Africa if you’re hoping to see the Big Five, as drier weather means the animals stay close to water sources. The Great Migration begins in July, with herds starting to gather in the Serengeti, and reaches its peak in August. It’s summertime in the Arctic and you can see polar bears, hungry from winter, hunting seals out on the ice. July and August are the best time for whale watching, with humpbacks and even blue whales visiting Arctic waters.
The Great Salmon Run takes place in North America between September and November, and this is an amazing time to visit Yellowstone National Park to witness grizzly bears gorging on salmon ahead of their long winter hibernation. November sees lots of the animals which call South America home raising their young, and this is a wonderful time to see families of animals in their natural habitats.
Have you always dreamt of falling asleep to the sounds of giraffe and elephant right outside your room? Or how about resting with the sounds of insects buzzing and nocturnal animals waking up to hunt deep with a rainforest?
Would you love to holiday in a luxury tree house up in a forest, surrounded by phenomenal bird life? Or how about in an amazing glass-bottomed cabin over the water where you can see fish darting beneath your feet?
Whatever your dream luxury wildlife hotel destination, the Escapes by BFP team can find the perfect place for you to stay from which to set off on your adventure.
