The Journey to Nature’s Edge expedition is a once in a
lifetime, US million dollar adventure concept, offering travellers the chance
to experience 18 of the most vulnerable species at 12 different locations across
the planet. It offers a unique opportunity for affluent / philanthropic
individuals who are committed to wildlife preservation to embark on an epic
quest to traverse the globe in search of animals that in just a few years could
be extinct.
According to WWF over 9,000
species of animals are currently endangered around the globe, many critically
so. Although international governments have a responsibility to promote and
create policy to protect such animals and their habitat, responsible wildlife
tourism has an increasingly key role to play in raising awareness and
understanding of conservation. That is why Natural World Safaris has committed
to donating a percentage of the cost of every trip to the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
During
their Journey to Nature’s Edge Natural World Safaris Managing Director, Will
Bolsover, will personally escort travellers along with the top guides available
for each destination. They will learn about the local conservation projects at
each location and meet the world’s leading specialist naturalists en route.
The approximately three-month
itinerary will have a ‘no expense spared’ approach and travellers will be
accommodated in luxury properties (except in the few instances where the
remoteness of location inhibits these standards). Transport includes high end
transfers, soaring over extraordinary landscapes by private helicopter while
visiting Antarctica, Arctic Canada, Borneo, Botswana, Brazil, the Galapagos,
India, Kenya, Madagascar, Namibia, Rwanda and Tanzania.
In
each location, travellers will have the opportunity to encounter the following
endangered and critically endangered species: African wild dog, black rhino,
northern white rhino, black and white ruffed lemur, orang-utan, sun bear, green
sea turtle, hawksbill turtle, giant tortoise, pygmy elephant, Bengal tiger,
snow leopard, mountain gorilla, chimpanzees, waved albatross, jaguar, penguin
and polar bear.
Will
Bolsover, MD of Natural World Safaris says, “Quite simply, this is an
opportunity to experience the rarities of the natural world, in their own
environment. Yes, there are luxury elements, but allowing people to experience
wildlife in this way genuinely helps support the on the ground efforts to
protect habitats and animals, as well as enhance awareness among the public and
in some cases, put pressure on the institutions that can make a difference at a
world-wide level.”
