Gap Year for Grown Ups announces brand new round the world trips for nature lovers!

Jan. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- For wildlife enthusiasts, travel overseas holds endless possibilities of adventure and discovery, however, so much choice can make picking which species to spot first a fascinating but also somewhat tricky task. Leading career break provider Gap Year for Grown Ups have risen to this travel challenge and launched a new range of wildlife based round the world trips that will enable explorers to get up close to some of the world’s rarest and most incredible creatures.

Gap Year for Grown Ups already offer travellers the opportunity to explore over 45 destinations around the world with hundreds of trips ranging from volunteering to intrepid tours and paid work abroad. The new programmes combine the pick of the wildlife bunch, and an array of stunning scenery, giving adventurers the chance to experience the ultimate tour of nature’s best.

Safari lovers who want to experience a different lifestyle on the open plains can set off on the African Animal Adventure. Travelling through Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa explorers will be able to take in the sights of the African bush and get to know the residents of Kruger National Park.  The volunteer element of the programme also presents a great opportunity to assist in important conservation efforts with the chance to walk with lions, take part in cheetah monitoring and learn how to be a real game ranger.  

Those in search of a broader spectrum can opt for the World Wildlife Explorer programme, covering Thailand, Australia and Florida. Travellers can help to care for a variety of exotic and endangered species including kangaroos, koalas, tigers, bears, leopards, monkeys and elephants! As well as marvelling at the changing landscapes, the projects give volunteers the chance to be involved in rescuing and rehabilitating animals, with some even offering the amazing possibility of being part of releases back into the wild.

The Ultimate Wildlife Experience really lives up to its name, blazing a trail across Zimbabwe, Thailand, China, Malaysia, Australia and the USA! Eco-warriors can play a significant role in saving iconic animals such as China’s Giant Panda from extinction, help to care for Orang-utans in Malaysia’s dwindling rainforests and reacclimatise lions to their natural environment. The action-packed programme also enables travellers to provide injured, orphaned and rescued animals with a safe and secure refuge in some of the most beautiful places on the planet.
