Our tips on nature
At Responsible Travel we promote holidays that celebrate and protect nature and biodiversity. We work with our members and their partners on the ground, as well as external NGOs and experts to keep up to date with the latest nature and wildlife issues.
Our advice pages aim to provide travellers with tips on navigating the latest tourism-related nature and biodiversity questions. You can read tips and advice on all aspects of travel and nature, including how to find alternatives to zoos; how to have a responsible safari; choosing a responsible cruise; as well the best places to see animals in the wild and which elephant sanctuaries we do and don't support.
