Australia
Every nature lover dreams of setting foot in the Outback, the bush, the land down under... the true Valhalla of herpetofauna: Australia!
Join us through Western Australia in search of some of the world's most iconic animal species!
Our targets for this trip: the thorny devil, shingleback lizards, carpet pythons, blue-tongued skinks, saltwater and freshwater crocodiles, tree frogs, death adders, perenties, countless species of geckos and monitor lizards... and one of the most venomous snakes in the world, the taipan. On top of that, we'll get the chance to see kangourous, quokkas, echidnas, numbats, wallabies and many... MANY more species of wildlife!
During our journey we'll cross the dune habitats on the western coast, the dry deserts of the Pilbara region, the wooded areas south of Perth and the Kimberley in the North. We'll roam the country in fully equipped 4x4 camping vehicles, allowing us to go wherever we want and venture into the most species-rich areas of the region. We'll sleep in lodges and camps in the middle of the bush!
If you ever want to come face to face with a taipan or a rugged tour through the Outback is still on your bucket list, then this trip is made for you!
