Wildlife holidays

When it comes to wildlife experiences in Asia, it’s impossible not to think of Borneo.

There are more plants and animals in Borneo than in Europe and North America put together, making it one of the best places in the world to immerse yourself in the mind-boggling diversity of nature. But it’s not the only wildlife hotspot in Asia. In fact, the region is home to nearly 15 percent of the world's tropical forests, so there are plenty of amazing nature-based experiences to be discovered here. We've collected some of our favourites below.

These span bonding with elephants in Thailand, checking camera traps and salt licks in the rainforests of Laos, and joining in with conservation efforts in the threatened wilderness of Cambodia’s Botum Sakor National Park. What they all have in common is a strong focus on environmental conservation, community-based tourism and animal welfare, so you can be certain that your visit will make a positive impact on the places, people and animals you visit.
