Where the Wild Things Are: Extraordinary Wildlife Escapes Around the World

(MENAFN- MENAFNEditorial) From mountain gorillas in Rwanda’s volcanic highlands to the Big Five roaming South Africa’s Eastern Cape and green turtles beneath AMAALA on the Red Sea, these remarkable escapes place travellers within some of the world’s most diverse natural habitats. Discover a curated range of incredible destinations, where immersive wildlife encounters are balanced with considered hospitality, conservation-led experiences and a strong connection to the landscapes that surround them.

Across 25,000 hectares of malaria-free wilderness in South Africa’s Easter Reserve offers a safari shaped by the movement of the land rather than a fixed schedule. Five of South Africa’s nine biomes converge within the reserve, creating a remarkably varied habitat for the Big Five, cheetah, spotted hyena and more than 370 bird species. Six lodges and one explorer camp are positioned throughout the landscape, from elevated settings overlooking open plains to secluded pockets of riverine bush where wildlife gathers close to the water.

Twice-daily game drives are complemented by guided bush walks, birdwatching excursions and night drives, revealing a different side of the reserve as the landscape and wildlife shift throughout the day. Subject to availability, travellers can also visit the Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and Born Free Big Cat Sanctuaries, gaining a closer understanding of the conservation, rehabilitation and anti-poaching work that continues to protect Shamwari’s wildlife and restore the Eastern Cape’s natural ecosystems.
