Mammal Focused Trips with Places Available

As we get into 2017 I have some mammal watching focused trips for the next 12 months which have some spaces available on them. If anyone is interested in any of these options please contact me (replying to this post or with an email to martin@royle-safaris.co.uk) and I can provide pictures, itineraries and more information. Below is just a brief summary of the trips. The prices typically include all ground costs, accommodation, guides, entrance fees, transportation, wildlife watching activities, food etc. But a more detailed breakdown can be provided if needed. Prices for a couple booking or people willing to share rooms are cheaper as the single supplements are not included. Again inquire further for more information.

Looking forward to hearing more from fellow mammal watchers.

  1. Bhutan – Lost Land of the Tiger

Trekking and wildlife watching – visiting some cultural sites such as Taksang Monastery. Wildlife including various birds, goral, sloth bear, rhino, clouded leopard, tiger, golden langur etc – Bhutan is pristine and so it is hard to see wildlife as the forests are dense, but the rewarding nature of being guided by scientists and conservationists is awesome.

  1. Nepal – Wild Nepal

                1st May 2018 – 11th May 2018

A trip focused around one of the best national parks in the whole of Asia for wildlife, we will head into the park in search of the 600 plus rhinos (which we guarantee), as well as elephants, leopards, sloth bears, gharial, mugger crocodiles and of course tigers. We will be looking for tigers as a priority. We will also be exploring the park on foot, via jeep, elephant back safari and also canoe safaris. I will most likely be guiding this tour but if I will guide is not confirmed at this date as we have expert naturalist guides in Nepal who usually run this trip.

Price GBP £2,095 per person (including single supplement)

  1. Borneo – Borneo’s Rare Cats

                Dates to be confirmed (in early summer 2017 we will have confirmed dates), the time scale we are looking at is June – August 2018

The trip is 14 nights long

This is a trip focused on some of the most exotic animals in the world to see, clouded leopards, sun bears, marbled cats, bay cat, pangolin, linsang, colugos, leopard cats, flat-headed cats as well as orang-utans, elephants, various langurs, gibbons and a whole host of birds. We will visit three different forests, including one which is very seldom ever visited but camera trap studies suggest the highest density of bay cats in the world as well as populations of clouded leopard and other elusive species. This trip is very much visiting new forests and exploring areas that are packed full of incredible wildlife. I would be guiding this trip along with local guides.

Price GBP £3,895 per person (including single supplement)

I very much look forward to hearing back from people interested in any of these trips.

    In addition to the post i made yesterday i would like to say that the Borneo price is not including the single supplement, the price is based on sharing occupancy. We can request a single supplement for anyone wishing to book.
