Wildlife

GeoWorld Travel tours are primarily about geology. However, many of the world’s most spectacular geological landscapes are also home to remarkable wildlife, and encounters with animals are often an unforgettable part of our journeys. Our Tanzania safari is the most wildlife-focused tour we offer, with opportunities to see elephants, lions, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest and a wide range of other animals across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro region. Wildlife can also be seen on many other GeoWorld Travel trips, including: voyages to Antarctica, famous for penguins, seals and whales; Namibia, where desert landscapes are home to elephants, rhino, antelope and other wildlife; Scotland, where minke whales, dolphins, seals, puffins, guillemots, fulmars and white-tailed sea eagles can be seen; South Africa, home to the famous “Big Five”; Svalbard and Greenland, where polar bears and walrus may be encountered; and parts of the USA, where grizzly bears can sometimes be seen.
