LUXURY SAFARIS & WILDLIFE
Endemic wildlife, sunrise game drives and a connection to nature … nothing can match the visceral thrill of witnessing animals in the wild. Whether it’s swimming with a whale shark on Australia’s Ningaloo Reef, or coming face-to-face with a silverback gorilla in Uganda, nature has a way of reminding us how insignificant we are. Below are a few of my favourites across every continent. Included is everything from polar bears in the Arctic to desert-adapted elephants and lions in Namibia, from organ-utans in Borneo to butterflies in Malawi.

The arctic: Polar bears, walrus and bowhead whale safari
With Bespoke Client, Michael Meltzer on his family’s journey to the Canadian Arctic,
and why a trip to the Arctic is just what you’re looking for …
The summer is an incredible time to visit the Arctic! We had the chance to experience the midnight sun, with 24-hour sunshine from May to July, and extended daylight in August. Traveling in the summer months, meant the weather is also milder – with temperatures up to 20C! We got to experience snorkeling, kayaking and boating, and of course seeing wildlife including whales, walrus and polar bears.
