🐘 Wildlife trips inspired by our new book

Swim with sea turtles in the Galapagos, spot orangutans in Borneo, search for lions in South Africa, and more! [View this email in your browser]( In honor of our newly released book [Wild Life: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Living Wonders]( we’re highlighting our top trips for up-close encounters with Earth’s most fascinating inhabitants. To appreciate the incredible biodiversity of our planet, few places compare to the [Galapagos](. Our trip is accompanied by Wild Life author Cara Giaimo, bringing special insight to our encounters with the islands’ unique species. We’ll snorkel with sea turtles, spot dolphins and whales, and glimpse the finches that helped change our understanding of the natural world. If you want to truly disconnect and immerse yourself in the natural world, the pristine, million-year-old rainforests of [Borneo]( are calling. We’ll discover playful orangutans, meet the world’s smallest bears, visit the famed Lang Caves with a bat expert, and more. Inspired by the book, these are just two in a whole new collection of wildlife trips we developed. We’ll also search for great white sharks in [South Africa]( with marine biologist Melissa Cristina Márquez, swim with pink dolphins in the [Brazilian Amazon]( and explore a hidden bioluminescent glowworm grotto (away from the crowds) in [New Zealand]( to name just a few highlights. Check out the [full collection]( and find your next wildlife trip!
