Compare wildlife destinations

Every comparison puts costs, seasons, animals and crowds side by side, with an honest pick per traveller.

Botswana or Tanzania for safari?

Botswana and Tanzania are the two best safari countries in Africa, but they sell a different product. Tanzania offers the migration, the crater and lower prices. Botswana offers water safaris, small camps and almost no other vehicles. This comparison puts costs, seasons and animals side by side.

Borneo or Sumatra for orangutans?

Orangutans only live on Borneo and Sumatra, so the choice is binary. Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia) is reachable with river cruises and rehabilitation centres. Sumatra (Indonesia) is more adventurous with jungle treks on foot. Both cost around 3,000 euros for 12 days.
