One of the first atypical encounters that can be made is by going to the Azores to admire the whales of the region. Indeed, biosphere expeditions are organized in the Azores archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean and allow making a whale study trip. For this occasion, travelers can photograph blue and burgundy whales that are practically endangered. It will also be a time for them to hear their vocalizations and learn more about their migration patterns. The more adventurous can be tempted by a trip to Asia and, more precisely, to India to observe the famous snow leopard. It is one of the rarest and most impressive cats in the world. Generally, tourists who can see them in their natural environment all leave with a unique wildlife experience in mind. For this purpose, some local trackers guide all expeditions in the mountains of Hemis National Park in Ladakh, northern India. Nevertheless, it should be noted that to meet snow leopards, you need to show great physical strength, but the game is worth the detour since the reward is priceless, in addition to admiring a spectacular view of the mountain. A little further, some explorers could be charmed by the Orangutans of Sumatra. To do this, you must go to the Gunung Leuser National Park, which invites travelers to strenuous trekking for about 6 days through the tropical jungle home to the famous orangutan and other rare animal species such as the tiger, rhinoceros, and elephant. In addition, it is worth noting that during this expedition, tourists will learn a lot about the essential skills to be held in a jungle, such as building fires and camps, and foraging, among others. It is truly a journey rich in learning. On the Nepal side, explorers will have the pleasure of embarking on a ten-day hike in the Himalayas' foothills in Nepal. Experienced local guides take travelers to meet the red panda. In this case, patience is required since it is a timid animal. Then it is only possible to leave Asia by encountering the Sumatran rhino in Borneo. The expedition is in the Maliau Basin, hoping to meet the world's smallest rhino. During this trek, tourists will see a land of huge jungles covered with vineyards and giant trees. Before continuing with another destination, you have to take a tour in Malaysia to observe the Sunda clouded leopards. Going to Sepilok, a rehabilitation center for orangutans, is necessary. During this journey, it will be possible to see the Sunda clouded leopard on the side of the forest reserve of Deramakot. Then the next destination is on the African continent in Namibia. Here, the planned meeting concerns the famous rhinoceros of Namibia. For this stay, travelers will enjoy the two most essential camps in the country, namely the Desert Rhino Camp and the Okonjima. In the first case, a walking route will follow the black rhinoceros' footsteps; in the second camp, feline lovers will be delighted to meet cheetahs and leopards. Further on, the journey can continue in the Congo with the encounter with the silverback gorilla. As such, an expedition will be undertaken in the impenetrable rainforest of Bwindi in Uganda. Moreover, you should know that it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that aims to protect more than 300 mountain gorillas. Here, the trek can last a maximum of 7 hours, including an hour dedicated to meeting animals. Afterward, head to North America near the Bahamas to discover hawksbills and green turtles. Organizations set up trips that give tourists a chance to contribute to preserving their habitats from coastal development and climate change. Here, tourists will have to snorkel in clear waters, mangrove coves, coral reefs, and seagrass beds to help scientists identify the location of turtle habitats. ◄
