As we humans squabble over the planet, an escape into the world of wildlife<\/a> may never have felt more appealing. But, inspired by all those Attenborough blockbusters<\/a>, it can be tricky to choose that trip of a lifetime. Should you opt for a sure-fire classic, such as the Serengeti migration<\/a>, or try something more offbeat, such as tramping Patagonia for pumas?<\/p>\n

Some wildlife holidays focus on a single species, such as tigers or gorillas. Others are more about immersing yourself in a particular environment, such as a desert, to see what nature brings. Either way, the experience can take many forms, from safari jeep to hiking trail or expedition cruise<\/a>, and you can do it with expert guides or \u2013 in some places \u2013 by yourself.<\/p>\n
