Wildlife travel stories
I’m a sucker for wildlife, which is probably why so many stories on this site feature animal encounters from around the world. Some of these creature close-ups are best expressed in photo form. So that’s why you can see a monkey on a motorbike, a Rottnest Island quokka from Australia and a crocodile that likes being stroked in the Gambia.
More detailed tales of wildlife wonders include hand-feeding stingrays in New Zealand, an elephant-back safari in South Africa and watching a turtle give birth in Oman.
Links to all the wildlife stories on the site can be found below.
