The great thing about offering thousands of holidays across 180 countries is that there are so many unique and thrilling experiences to choose from.

And once you learn about holidays that allow you to take part in a wildlife census in a Zimbabwean national park, or travel from Malaysia to Mongolia by train, or marvel at an ice sculpture festival in Japan, it’s very hard to stop thinking about them.

So if you see a trip here that catches your imagination and won’t let go, do yourself a favour and reach out to our friendly Travel Team today.

Happy trails,

Borneo: a world beyond the wildlife

From hiking up Mount Kinabalu to spending time deep in the rainforest – you can rely on our Borneo holidays to take you somewhere a little different. You’ll see the famous wildlife, but you’ll also get the chance to explore cities via their eclectic food scenes and hike lesser-trod trails in search of Borneo’s 2,500-plus species of orchids.

Need some inspiration? Be immersed in nature, culture and local cuisine on our 5-day tour of Sarawak’s coastline. You’ll explore Maludam National Park by boat in search of proboscis monkeys and the rare Red Banded Langur, enjoy a homestay in a peaceful Malay fishing village, a night on a traditional longhouse, a visit to the extraordinary Sibu market – and much more…

I lived for a year in Portugal and one of the things I loved most was the diversity of the landscapes, from the volcanic Azores to the vinho verde estates and rugged coast of the Minho region, and the terraced hills of the Douro Valley.

Our Portugal holidays showcase the amazing breadth of experiences you can have here, but also the depth.

Whether you’re walking the Rota Vicentina through the Alentejo countryside or painting watercolours at an Algarve riverside retreat, our trips immerse you in Portuguese culture at every turn.

As for when to go, our guide to the best time to visit Portugal tells you what to expect every month of the year, with our pick of the cultural calendar, too. Anyone for a sardine festival?

The Transcaucasian Trail 🥾💚

This 3,000km-long trail in the making, conceived a decade ago, has captured the imagination of the world. Even a short hike along part of it can support its vision for uniting and empowering local communities.

The route connects hikers with some of the most remote and beautiful scenery of the Caucasus region, the natural boundary that divides Europe from Asia.

Hikers will eventually be able to follow two marked, 1,500km-long trails. First is a north-south route connecting the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Mountains, starting in Ajara, Georgia and ending on Armenia’s southern border with Iran. Second is an east-west route that goes into Azerbaijan.

When you walk on this trail, you cross some of the last truly wild areas of Europe. In the far south of Armenia, thru-hikers have to prepare for a three-day hike across Arevik National Park, where there are no water sources along the way.

Our Transcaucasian Trail holidays are a chance to get a taste of the route’s epic beauty – fully supported by guides and guidance.

Explore them - and read our new Transcaucasian Trail guide - here: https://www.responsibletravel.com/holidays/caucasus/travel-guide/transcaucasian-trail

This is more than a safari 💚

Be one of the first tourists to take part in the Hwange Annual Wildlife Census and directly contribute to the conservation of one of Zimbabwe’s most spectacular national parks.

For the last 50 years, the annual game count in Hwange has helped researchers and conservationists monitoring population trends and shifts in species distribution, assess which animals rely most heavily on Hwange’s artificial waterholes, track ecosystem health, detect potential disease outbreaks and influence park management and anti-poaching efforts.

The count relies on volunteers who observe and record every species that visits a designated waterhole over a 24-hour period - and this is where you come in.

This safari holiday includes shifts at a waterhole during the game count, immersing you in Hwange wildlife from sunset to sunrise. A truly unforgettable conservation experience.

Plus, included in the cost of the trip is a donation to the which helps to build and maintain sustainable water sources for wildlife, fund anti-poaching patrols, and support local communities living in the park’s surrounding areas.

Is this the best way to explore the Isle of Mull and the west coast of Scotland?

Hop on board a lovingly restored wooden fishing vessel carrying just 12 passengers for an unforgettable cruise holiday.

Your local crew and captain will share their expert knowledge of the area’s birdlife and marine life. They’ll take you to colourful Tobermory, help you spot puffins and seals on the uninhabited Treshnish Isles, introduce you to Iona and regale you with tales of pilgrimages to its ancient Abbey and – quite possibly best of all – cook you up a daily feast of Scottish dishes, with the onboard chef specialising in locally caught and grown produce.

A seven-day cruise of the Isle of Mull and the west coast of Scotland costs from £2,645pp including all meals, wine with dinner, excursions and the services of four crew. Excludes travel to Oban.

It’s been 20 years since I was last in Borneo, but even now I can still vividly remember the thrill I felt seeing orangutans swinging in the trees above us as we picked our way through the rainforest, and how they stared thoughtfully back down at us. Bornean orangutans are critically endangered, and wildlife holidays such as ours can help to protect and restore the habitats on which they depend.

Our holidays look beyond wildlife too – to batik art, city food tours and historic forts - and you’ll find many of these highlights featured in our trips. As well as more than a few orangutans…

Happy trails,
