Your safety is our top priority. It’s one of the main things we consider when designing and operating our trips. Here’s some of the ways we help to keep you safe, and a few of the things you can do to make your trip memorable for all the right reasons. Before you travel We monitor travel alerts provided by the Australian, UK, USA and Canadian governments on a daily basis. Before a tour goes on sale we assess any risks and decide how to reduce and manage these. If we determine that an entire trip, part of a trip or an activity is too risky we won’t do it. It’s as simple as that. If we can’t address the issues and improve conditions we might modify an itinerary, change the accommodation or even decide not to travel to a certain location. Our overseas staff and local leaders are trained to address any health and safety concerns during trips. Before you travel, we’ll give you an emergency phone number. You’ll also get comprehensive pre-departure information, with information about vaccinations and other relevant health issues. We’ll also tell you if there’s any special clothing or equipment you need to bring. During your trip: You local leader is trained in first aid and always carries a first aid kit. Being a local means that if something does go wrong they know fastest and most effective way to get help. We’ll also give you a 24-hour emergency number in addition to the emergency destination telephone number. What you can do: Read through all the information we send you. If you’ve got any questions we’re always available to help. Keep an eye out for travel alerts by consulting your local Foreign Office. We also monitor these daily so that we can modify tours if necessary. Get some medical travel advice about the countries you are visiting, particularly about vaccinations and the type of personal first aid kit you should carry. Make sure you tell us any medical conditions, special needs or dietary requirements you might have. Get your vaccinations and take relevant medication well before travelling so they have time to take effect.

It’s impossible to describe the feeling of coming face to face with a gorilla. It’s heart-stopping, exhilarating, emotional, overwhelming and completely unforgettable. They’re as curious about us as we are about them.

There are numerous reasons why we love to travel abroad; from soaking up the sun for a week in a luxury Spanish resort, to spending a month exploring Mayan ruins in Mexico, with nothing but a backpack for company.
A passion for travelling is often linked to a natural curiosity for culture,...

Take a second look
It’s a big, vast grand canyon. But it’s not THE Grand Canyon. Take a closer look and you’ll see this is Fish River Canyon in Namibia. Its enormous ravine runs 160km long and up to 27km wide, making it the second largest canyon in the world.

Who doesn't love a baby elephant? They're saggy, baggy, floppy, funny little things that instantly make you go "Awwwww".

It was my first adventure with Perigrine...I ws amazed!!
Guide was excellent and made the trip
The highlight of our visit was at Umlani Bushcamp, Timbavati Nature Reserve - with 'Elvis' our Guide. He was hugely passionate about his work/life and took us on a true African Safari. This was our 3rd Safari in Africa, and he was by far the most exciting person of our 3 week journey through this magic continent. We were blessed to meet and live with him for the 3 days we spent together. In fact all the staff at Umlani Bushamp were 'passionate', which is sometimes rear to experience as a tourist.
Excellent tour with plenty of excitement and enjoyable experiences. Did not get the Tree House experience as our tour was swapped without our knowing prior to the tour. Shindzela boys were great as was our tour guide, marshall.
Will definitely be travelling with Peregrine again in the future - hopefully many more times.
