Team Penguin or Team Polar Bear – Which Would You Rather See?

You can sail every sea the world has to offer. Traverse all the land of the earth just to experience real adventure tour. Go on a trip to Antarctica, where the atmosphere is colder, drier and windier. Or choose to go on top of the world and visit the remotest destination of the Arctic. Described by many as the ultimate travel destinations, Antarctica and Artic has a lot of spectacular views to offer.

If you have travel and haven’t seen colonies with thousands of penguins, you haven’t really seen it all.  You really haven’t been on a real adventure if you haven’t spotted a polar bear manning magnificent icebergs on a quiet afternoon.

Greg Grainger Adventure Tours offer adventure treks on these 2 most exciting destinations. On November 26, our ship will cruise to the wonderful Weddell Sea in the Antarctic. In this tour, 2 helicopters are used for ferry landing transfers and we provide guests with a close encounter to see colonies of Emperor Penguins up close. If you are a Team Penguin, this will definitely be a fascinating and once in a lifetime trip experience for you.

Another upcoming tour for next year would be the tour to Spitsbergen & Franz Josef Land to see the polar bears in action. This remotest Russian High Arctic Archipelago is home to not just the polar bears but exotic walruses and birds in the wild. Team Polar bear will definitely have an unforgettable experience following in the footsteps of famous Arctic explorers.

Whether which team you are on, Greg Grainger Adventure Tours definitely has something in store for you. Visit www.greggraingeradventurerours.com now and book your adventure. Don’t just take a break – have a real adventure!

Why Visit Botswana’s Okavango Delta?


When one thinks of the biblical Garden of Eden, the things that come to mind are the popular, universal images: lush foliage, a wide variety of wildlife, and wide, open spaces—nature’s paradise, in other words. It’s incredibly rare to find such a place in this modernized world, in these jungles of concrete, or is it?

Secluded from most of the urban world, the Okavango Delta in Botswana is considered to be Africa’s last Eden. It’s a unique wetland teeming with life—the delta covers around 15,000 square kilometers of the Kalahari Desert in Northern Botswana and is essentially a product of the Okavango River and the waters that flow straight from the Angolan highlands.

The sights in the Okavango Delta are mesmerizing. Writing about his trip to the Delta, U.K. Telegraph travel correspondent Brian Jackman claims that every camp in the Okavango has its own attractions. The Duba Plains shelter herds of buffalo and prides of lions which prey on them, as well as hyenas and hippos. In the Plains you’ll also find a collection of palm-tree islands and a number of magnificent elephants.
