Here at Natural World Safaris, we take pride in putting you in the right place at the right time to maximise your wildlife encounters. This is at the heart of everything we do, at all levels of the business. Our team have lived, worked and travelled across the globe, and together we have the requisite knowledge and experience to plan the perfect safari for you.

"Specialist" tour operators are not so specialist anymore in today's day and age, but we believe our wildlife-centred approach is unequalled in the industry. Whether it's photographing polar bears on the remote archipelago of Svalbard, tracking the elusive snow leopard through the Himalayas or bringing you face-to-face with endangered lemurs in Madagascar, we craft itineraries that will leave you with unforgettable wildlife sightings.

Although technically a "tour operator", we like to think of ourselves as more of a "travel outfitter". Our salespeople aren't salespeople - they're Destination Specialists, each one an expert in the regions that they work with - and the trips we create are designed to bring you as close to the natural world as possible, no matter what it takes. This means that luxury is not always a given. You can't book a package holiday to Mallorca with us, but you can join us on a journey into the extraordinary.

The Natural World Safaris story began over 10 years ago, when our MD Will Bolsover set up a small travel company by the name of World Primate Safaris. This niche enterprise was born from a passion for primates that Will had developed over many years guiding in Africa, working in countries like Gabon, Uganda, Rwanda, Cameroon, Madagascar, the Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic, to name but a few.

From here, World Big Cat Safaris and World Bear Safaris were established, two companies which maintained the wildlife experience expertise that brought clients of World Primate Safaris in touch with our closest living relatives. In 2013, all three companies were brought under the banner of Natural World Safaris, a move which consolidated our specialist knowledge bases and allowed us to expand into many more destinations.

Today NWS is a global brand that retains its niche focus, designed to bring people into close contact with iconic wildlife species across six continents. We don't specialise in specific countries like other companies do - instead, we can take you to over 40 different destinations worldwide, focusing always on the wildlife experience. No-one else had taken this approach to travel before, and we remain at the forefront of natural world travel to this very day.

Our specialist expertise is spread across the globe - speak to us to start designing your ideal wildlife safari.

We have been featured in numerous esteemed publications throughout the world, including the Financial Times, National Geographic, Condé Nast Traveller, Departures, Harrods Magazine, the Sunday Times, Jetsetter, Tatler, Brides, Wanderlust, Lonely Planet and more.
