Unforgettable Trips For Exploring National Parks

Travel is a walk in the park, literally, with these tours through the world’s wondrous national parks.

A national park is a place worthy of distinction, as well as your next holiday. They’re so much more than protected green spaces, often harbouring the soul of a country as it was before civilisation rose. Iconic landscapes, crafted by Mother Nature long ago, are masterpieces framed by the park boundaries. The wild beasts that roam these lands know all too well the beauty and bounty of the earth – and with these top trips for exploring national parks, you can too.

Georgia and the Caucasus

You won’t find big crowds in Georgia’s national parks – this spectacular country still flies under the radar for most travellers. But those who do visit are blown away by the majestic mountain scenery here. Our nine-day trip includes a hike in Lagodekhi National Park, where you’ll see the country’s natural beauty up close on a five-hour trek. Next, you’ll head into the Caucasus mountains for unbeatable views around Stepantsminda. After all that hiking, finish with a well-deserved soak in the sulphur baths in Tbilisi.

Two long suspension bridges stand over a rushing river between forested, rocky hills in Tsitsikamma National Park

Splendid South Africa

Tsitsikamma National Park is the gem of South Africa’s much-loved Garden Route. Lined along the Western Cape coast, this national park blends rugged coastline and rich marine life with the luscious greenery of forest and Fynbos. You’ll get the chance to explore a range of verdant hiking trails as you watch the Indian Ocean crash against the park’s boundaries. We’ll cross the suspension bridge that spans the mouth of Storms River, discovering little coves and secret beaches en route to Bloukrans Bridge. Adrenaline junkies may recognise this as the world’s tallest bungee jump bridge. Depending on your propensity for heights you can do the jump yourself, opt for the slightly more serene skywalk or simply enjoy the view from solid ground – we won’t judge you either way.
