While on one of our adventures, you can literally trip over the wildlife if you're not paying attention! However, we can all use a little advice on spotting those elusive or skittish species. Having a great guide during your travels is always key, but here are a few other helpful tips to practice when on your wildlife adventure.
1. Get up early -- turn in late. Dawn and dusk are when wildlife tend to be the most active, thus offering the best chances to spot your favorite wildlife creatures.
2. Know what to expect & where to look. Understand the seasonal patterns of wildlife. Many species only appear seasonally in certain regions. Learning a little about wildlife habitat, feeding habits, and favorite foods can also help focus your search.
3. Move slowly and keep quiet. The best way to increase your chances of spotting wildlife is to stop periodically and wait ... quietly.
4. Remember your binoculars. Binoculars provide the chance to enjoy an up-close wildlife experience at a safe distance.
5. Be patient and persistent. And remember, even if you don't spot the species you've been aching to see, enjoy the variety of other wildlife that cross your path during the pursuit.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
