Our staff have each picked a personal wildlife travel highlight for 2017 – read about trips to South Africa, Ecuador, The Gambia, Indonesia, Iceland, the UK and Brazil. 

Tour participant Dermot Smith chose our ‘Ecuador – Cock of the Rock’ holiday as his first Naturetrek trip back in February 2017.
