Take your time.......(read more)
“Seeing wildlife successfully is all about taking your time, finding the right location then settling down to enjoy the experience.” says Roger Smith, Echidna Walkabout’s Operations Director.
Echidna Walkabout adds two extra dimensions: our Wildlife Guides save you time by taking you to the best places to see wildlife PLUS you’ll be involved in conserving and protecting wildlife simply by being on the tour.
“This means that you can stay longer and do more, knowing that you are not only enjoying yourself, you’re helping wildlife at the same time!” says Roger.
