For our founder, Kyle Moore, the fascination with wildlife began in childhood. That early curiosity grew into a lifelong pursuit of the most remarkable moments in nature, from watching a grizzly bear plunge into a river in pursuit of salmon to witnessing elephants move across the African wilderness as the sun sets on another day.
It was that passion that led Kyle to create Natures Thrill: wildlife holidays led by people who combine genuine passion with proven experience, outstanding local knowledge and an unwavering commitment to responsible wildlife travel.
“The people who lead our holidays are just as important as the places we visit.”
Approachable, patient and attentive, Kyle adapts his guidance to suit a first-time wildlife traveller just as confidently as a seasoned photographer.
Helping guests capture once-in-a-lifetime images, from positioning and light to patience in the hide.
Sharing the fascinating behaviour behind every unexpected encounter, so you learn as much as you see.
Working alongside trusted local guides to be in the right place at the right moment.
A commitment to ethical wildlife watching that protects the places and species we visit.
