Welcome to Honeyguide

I'm delighted you've decided to visit the website of Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays. If you are looking for a quality natural history holiday, this is a great place to start.

It’s the 20th season of Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays. Twenty years: it seems hardly possible!

With our spring and early summer holidays safely home, now is a good time to think about holidays this autumn. With Honeyguide, that's a choice from the French Pyrenees, Lesvos and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Our calendar shows which holidays still have a space or spaces. Better still, contact the Honeyguide office, and you can be pencilled in for 2011.

We are pleased to help with group holidays – even a holiday for half a dozen friends.

Your South Africa is a new way of putting together a wildlife holiday that suits you. With the World Cup coming to an end, now's a good time to think about enjoying South Africa's natural riches. Click on the pictures for more.

The Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust goes from strength to strength. We are pleased to report that in 2009 we donated £7,783 to conservation projects linked to our holidays, and our running total since 1991 is £66,727 (up to August 2010). Through the Honeyguide charity, the taxman tops up our contributions of £35 per person on every holiday in 2010. This all helps our kind of tourism punch above its weight on behalf of wildlife.

Holidays give the typical flights we use, but increasingly we arrange flights from airports near to where you live, or help with other arrangements. Carbon offsets are as usual part of each holiday’s price.

Rules about selling travel insurance mean if you want Honeyguide’s insurance you need to go straight to our broker rather than buying a policy directly from Honeyguide. Details are on our booking page and there is also help here on booking parking and hotels at airports.

I hope you’ll want to find out more by exploring this website further. If you would like a Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays brochure for 2010, please click on ‘contact us’.
