Nature and Wildlife

Nature and wildlife experiences offer solo travellers a chance to step outside our schedules and expectations. Travelling alone, whether on a coastal walk, in a national park, or watching wildlife in its own habitat, these journeys are less about spectacle and more about presence, perspective, and moving through the world with care.

The safari season less travelled

Africa’s green season brings rain, thicker vegetation, newborn wildlife and fewer safari vehicles, but conditions vary considerably across the continent. Safari specialist Deon De Villiers explains what travellers can expect, where the season works best and why a little mud need not spoil the experience.

Following the ‘Humpback Highway’

Just months after Cyclone Narelle forced the closure of parts of Western Australia’s Coral Coast, one of the region’s most anticipated wildlife events has returned. The annual humpback whale migration is now underway, marking another milestone in the region’s recovery and the reopening of visitor experiences along the Ningaloo coast.
