About us
Our holidays
- are all round natural history holidays, tailored to get the best out of the wildlife of each area
- go at a relaxed pace
- usually stay at one place
- use the best of leaders, with extensive conservation knowledge, natural history skills, good experience of the local area and the right personal skills
- are designed to benefit you, wildlife and the local people whose services we use
- include a £40 contribution from each participant to wildlife conservation.
Holidays for natural history societies, RSPB local groups or other local groups can be arranged – see our groups page.
Our logo is a greater honeyguide (scientific name Indicator indicator, more here on Wikipedia), an African bird which guides people or honey badgers to bees' nests. The honeycomb is then enjoyed by those guided as well as the bird. David Attenborough, in an extract from the BBC's 'Talking to Strangers', explains this partnership between wildlife and people here on YouTube. Honeyguide wildlife holidays also have enthusiastic leaders to guide you to nature's best.
Honeyguide is committed to help the environment. For more information, including how you can help, please click here.

On the left we explain what Honeyguide is. But perhaps a better question is: Who is Honeyguide?
Honeyguide is run by Chris Durdin. To read more about Chris, click here.
Honeyguide is also a team of leaders. Read more about them under each holiday. It's also Malcolm and Helen Crowder, who do most of the work behind the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust.
Honeyguide is also our local leaders and hosts on our holidays.
Perhaps most important, Honeyguide is also the many Honeyguiders, our travellers, many of whom are Honeyguide regulars or will be soon!
What we have in common, I think (writes Chris) is a shared set of values. We enjoy gentle natural history holidays with the blinkers off: a mixture of wildlife, birds, flowers, butterflies etc. We enjoy each others' company and good home-from-home comforts.
And perhaps above all, we all subscribe to the idea (as Honeyguide's strapline says below) that we enjoy wildlife but also that the holidays should help to protect wildlife.
