Hello fellow wildlife enthusiasts and welcome to The Wildlife Travel Blog! We are Ryan & Lottie, a wildlife-loving couple from the UK who met whilst studying Zoology at university. We are both complete wildlife nerds and also love to travel, so we have made it one of our goals to travel the world and experience as much of its wildlife as possible.

Why we started the blog?

We started our blog because first and foremost – we absolutely love wildlife. So much so that we have spent the past 8 months backpacking our way through Australia and Asia; during which we have dedicated a huge chunk of our time and effort into seeing and experiencing some of the world’s most incredible wildlife.

Along the way we have learned a hell of lot and spent a huge number of hours researching hundreds of different locations in which to find wildlife. However, consistently throughout we found that the information is both hard to find, and even when it is available, it is scattered across different corners of the internet.

This is exactly why we decided to create this blog. We want to create a place where we can share and document our experiences in wildlife and travel, and in doing so, offer a place of inspiration and guidance to like-minded people who wish to get out there and appreciate the natural world for themselves. Hopefully we can provide you with a lot of the information so you can more easily figure out how to experience some of these wonders for yourselves.

This blog will hopefully combine our love of nature, travel and photography, and help to inspire, guide and enable you to do the same!

What to expect

We aim to create a place for wildlife and travel enthusiasts to learn about what is out there and some of the ways that they can experience it for themselves, and on a relatively low backpacking budget.

We will post a mixture of personal stories, how to guides, destination guides, wildlife tour reviews, photography tips and tricks, and a whole host of other wildlife and travel related things!

Wildlife Photography

Starting during the lockdown and growing more and more over the past few years, Ryan has become what you might call photography-obsessed. Throughout our travels there was rarely a time where his camera and a couple of lenses were out of sight. All photographs featured on our website have captured by us, so we hope you enjoy our work!

Where have we been so far?

We have spent 8 months travelling across Australia and Southeast Asia and witnessed A LOT of wildlife on the way.

Here was our itinerary for our first trip:

Australia – 2 months
Indonesia – 2 months
Vietnam – 1.5 months
Thailand – 1 month
Laos – 1 week
Sri Lanka – 1 month
India – 1 month

In every destination we tried to pack in as much wildlife as we possibly could, and we can’t wait to share our tales with you. And perhaps some of our experiences will ignite your own curiosity and encourage you to witness some of these natural wonders firsthand.

What lies ahead?

Our blog is a commitment to sharing not only the incredible highlights of our journeys, but also many of the practical insights that make wildlife travel accessible to all. We invite you to be part of our community where the beauty of the wild awaits all of our exploration.

Stay tuned for captivating stories, practical tips, and an abundance of inspiration as we navigate the world of wildlife and travel. Welcome to the adventure!
