Over a quarter of Costa Rica’s landmass is protected as National Park, and the country is home to more than 500,000 species of plants and animals, making it one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. On the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park offers the chance to see jaguars, tapirs, all four of Costa Rica’s monkey species, and over 400 bird species.
But truly, each national park provides remarkable wildlife‑spotting opportunities, and there are countless options to explore. A local guide is invaluable: an experienced naturalist dramatically increases your chances of spotting well‑camouflaged wildlife that you might otherwise miss.

Portugal has range: the palaces of Sintra, the stone-built streets of Monsanto, the vineyard slopes of the Douro Valley, and the volcanic landscapes of the Azores. Each region adds another layer to the country’s story. Our Portugal expert, Joel, says what stands out most are the people, and how long lunches often turn into longer conversations, and how a glass of vinho tastes even better with the right view.

The Great Migration: the spectacular wildlife event where over a million wildebeest and zebra move across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara.
Rama, Tanzania & Zanzibar travel expert, says: "For the Mara River area, patience is everything. The herds may gather at the banks for hours before crossing, or suddenly move away and return later. Trust your guide’s timing and avoid rushing between viewpoints. Keep your camera ready, but also take moments to watch without the lens. The tension, dust, and movement are part of what makes this experience unforgettable".
