Greenwings is committed to responsible wildlife tourism. As such we have always sold all of our holidays without any flights included. This gives you far more freedom to choose an alternative method of overland or oversea travel than with packages offered by many other wildlife holiday operators. 

To help choose the holidays where it is easier to travel flight-free (from the UK) we’ve decided to highlight them on this page.
