Welcome to the Menagerie

With trips featuring big cats, elephants, whales, rhinos, apes and bears, there should be something in this month's e-news that catches your eye.

Our new trips for 2011 cover wildlife photography, hands-on conservation projects and family adventures, exploring both beach and savannah.

We have also laid on a new departure for Brazil, where our partner in the Pantanal is still animated about the exceptional jaguar sightings last season. The news that BA are starting a direct service to Buenos Aires should be a boost for our Patagonia wildlife tour. There are also excellent special offers to join orangutan researchers in Borneo and migrating polar bears in Churchill.
