We have 41 Wildlife and beach holidays. For the best of both worlds, why not combine an exciting wildlife holiday with a relaxing beach holiday? Our wildlife and beach holidays offer a mix of safari or wildlife watching usually followed by a few days of chilling out on the coast. From the rich biodiversity of Madagascar to the orangutans of Borneo or the beautiful sandy beaches of Costa Rica these wildlife and beach holidays mix stunning flora and fauna with island paradises and tropical beach retreats.
These full and frank independent Wildlife holidays with beach holidays reviews are from travellers who have booked directly through responsibletravel.com. They are not edited by us or any of the companies we work with. Find the real story, from real travellers below.
Most memorable? Diving with a dozen turtles off the coast of Sipadan and visiting the local villagers of Mabul. And then of course to see wild Orangutans in their natural environment. 
(more)We saw monkeys in the hotel grouse, sloth and of course the scarlet macaws. We had never been to a rainforest before and could not believe how green it was. All the places we stayed at were interesting and different. (more)There are very many wonderful bits to the holiday. I particularly enjoyed my time in Lesotho and the town tour there and the township tour in Oudtshoorn. I was very thrilled by the countryside. (more)
The accommodation was the most luxurious, most welcoming, most helpful place we have ever stayed in; and the walks through the tea estate with idyllic views of the reservoir and surrounding hills, both relaxing and inspiring.
(more)On leaving our room at Serendip which led out straight onto the front veranda... we saw that the garden was full of fireflies. We were then led to our table out the back by the plunge pool where we would be eating dinner. The manager had arranged and lit dozens of tea lights around the garden. Priceless.
(more)The most memorable parts were the Orang'utans at Semengohh, and staying with the Iban tribe at their lodge. (more)All days and trip were memorable, but above all watching elephants crossing the river 30 metres away from us having lunch in Old Mondoro was the most. We are definitely satisfied. (more)
Amazing. Our guide / driver is a saint! No question was too stupid. No loo stop was inconvenient. He took such good care of us, and made us feel like valued friends instead of tourists. I will never forget Kenya and will go back as soon as I can. (more)
Madagascar proved such an outstanding destination that it almost seems unfair to single out particular highlights...Ace. We loved it from first to last. We covered a great deal of ground and saw so much for the first time.
(more)Too many to mention but the safari parts of the holiday were certainly the highlight....Absolutely life changing - the most superb family holiday.
(more)Excellent! It was organised really well and our guide, Chris, was wonderful... I cannot isolate just one memorable or exciting part of the holiday - every day my husband and I experienced something amazing!... We will never forget any of it. (more)
Most memorable? Probably Iguacu. Absolutely amazing falls and the hotel was lovely. However all the venues were excellent. (more)It was our first visit to Africa. I can now understand why so many people have a love affair with Africa! It is impossible vast and breathtaking. The people were friendly and welcoming. It's a surprising land of contrasts. (more)The Koh Sok National Park trip with the kayaking company was truly amazing. Climbed a waterfall, saw a wild baby elephant and heard the singing gibbons. Lived like the locals and ate plenty of wholesome Thai food. No frills but no illnesses either! (more)
It's no surprise that the most fantastic part of the trip was being close to the animals without bars between us. We visited amazing creatures in their "homes" without harming their surroundings. (more)Most memorable part? Perhaps it’s the first time we saw a lion or the family of cheetah... but then it could as easily be meeting and chatting with our Maasai hosts... (more)Sighting lemurs was most memorable... On a scale of 10, I'd say 8.5. The tour leader and driver was good. It was exciting to see the lemurs and other animals in their actual habitat. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
