This newsletter supports our Guardian Holidays business
Inspired by the amazing images of 2025’s Underwater Photographer of the Year competition, this week we’re focusing on trips which will give you the chance to capture your own wonderful wildlife photographs. Go in search of tigers in India, see penguins and more in South Africa or orangutans and sun bears in Borneo. Costa Rica offers unrivalled biodiversity with the chance to watch sloths, turtles, toucans and other animals plus there’s the option to swim with sharks and manta rays, while seeing the unique wildlife of the Galapagos islands is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Plus, closer to home you could seek out one of Europe’s biggest beasts, the brown bear, in Romania. Wherever you choose, don’t forget to take those pictures…
