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.

We have – like last year – three new destinations. In Eastern Europe, we visit Bulgaria for the first time, this coming year in autumn. In South Africa, following our holidays in the Western Cape, we move east to the Garden Route. Regular Honeyguide leaders Robin and Rachel Hamilton are great enthusiasts for the wildlife of the Cévennes in France, and stepped up to the mark to research the itinerary and try the food…tough job, but someone has to do it.

We welcome back no less than five of our regular holiday venues, namely Algarve, Lesvos, the Dordogne, Eastern Greece and the French Pyrenees. It’s often group bookings that mean a holiday disappears from the brochure, which is why Crete is ‘missing’ in 2009. You can view our complete calendar for 2009 here.

We’re always pleased to hear from group organisers –which could be for a holiday for half a dozen friends.

Honeyguide’s commitment to greening continues, most notably through our conservation contributions with each holiday, which reached the milestone of £50,000 in 2008. These contributions will be £35 per person in 2009, and as usual go through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust so that they are topped up by the taxman. This all helps our kind of tourism punch above its weight on behalf of wildlife. Carbon offsets are again part of each holiday’s price.

There are new rules about selling travel insurance which means if you want Honeyguide’s insurance you need to go straight to our broker – rather than buying your policy directly from Honeyguide. Details are on our booking page or we can send details.

I hope you’ll want to find out more by exploring this website further. If you would like a Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays brochure for 2009, please click on ‘contact us’.
