The Wildlife Collection

Our wildlife adventures put nature front and centre throughout the trip. We aim to spend as much time as possible immersed in nature, whether that's tracking animals through wild landscapes or sitting quietly, waiting for something remarkable to happen. That said, these are still proper adventures. Expect plenty of walking safaris, hikes and other active ways to spend your days, with moments of stillness and observation woven in along the way. An experienced naturalist will guide you for each relevant activity, and groups are usually capped at 12 people, keeping things intimate, lowering your environmental footprint and making sure the wildlife barely knows you’re there.

World Animal Protection (opens in new tab) (formerly the World Society for the Protection of Animals, or WSPA) is an international charity on a mission to end animal cruelty and exploitation. Its roots go back to 1950, and today it campaigns on behalf of both wild and farmed animals. Its wildlife work targets the root causes of suffering: lobbying governments for laws that protect wild animals and their habitats, challenging businesses that profit from exploiting wildlife and moving the tourism industry away from cruel wildlife entertainment and practices. It also publishes research on animal welfare and runs public campaigns to reduce demand for products and experiences that harm animals. We have collaborated with World Animal Protection in the development of our Animal Welfare Policy (opens in new tab) to ensure that our adventures only include ethical animal-based activities, in line with the latest scientific evidence.

Our Rewilding Adventures (opens in new tab) take place in areas that are actively undergoing a process of ecological restoration known as rewilding. Increasingly, scientists and environmental activists see rewilding as a key solution to the ecological crises facing the planet. At Much Better Adventures we have followed this youthful movement closely, and it is clear that tourism has a role to play in helping to fund rewilding projects and show our adventurers the ecological transformations happening on the ground. Our trips explore these areas and particularly the species which are coming back to the returning wildernesses.

On any of our Rewilding Adventures, you'll be guided by expert wildlife trackers with a deep understanding of the rewilding efforts and the ecological improvements occurring in the areas they live and work in. You will search for and learn about keystone species such as wolf and bison which are either expanding from small historical numbers or being actively reintroduced. You'll see up close returning tree coverage and wildflower meadows, and even witness rivers running clearer due to the land growing wilder and withholding sediments. We aim for our Rewilding Adventures to instil a sense of hope that the damage which human activity has caused to the wild places on our planet can be reversed.
