Trinidad

Just seven miles off the coast of the South American continent to which it was once conjoined, Trinidad benefits from an unusually high diversity of wildlife for an island its size.  That mainland ancestry is reflected in its 108 species of mammal (including ocelots, howler monkeys, anteaters and porcupines), over 50 species of reptile (including anacondas and caimans) and over 600 butterfly species.  However, a bird list topping 430 species is the main draw for wildlife enthusiasts.  Hundreds of stunning scarlet ibis roost at Caroni Swamp, and the Point-a-Pierre Wild Fowl Trust protects endangered species including whistling ducks and pintails.

The Northern Range

Unlike the densely populated south, the north is wild and rugged, with rainforest-clad hills meeting beautiful sandy beaches which provide perfect breeding grounds for leatherback turtles, large numbers of which come ashore to lay eggs between March and September.  

  Asa Wright Nature Lodge
Located high in the hills of the Northern Range, the impressive Asa Wright Centre is built around an old plantation house and has a conservation pedigree spanning nearly 40 years.  The centre is world-renowned particularly for its varied birdlife including toucans, hummingbirds, trogons, tanagers, squirrel cuckoo, manakins and bellbirds.  It is also home to a breeding colony of oil birds - extraordinary cave-dwellers distantly related to the nightjar and the world’s only fruit-eating nocturnal bird.

 

The Natural Highlights of Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago

Combining two of Guyana’s best wildlife highlights with the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, this is an itinerary of tropical wildlife, beautiful beaches, exceptional snorkelling/diving and friendly, English-speaking populations.  Guyana’s premier wildlife lodge complements well the spectacular waterfall and cloud forests of Kaieteur and the colonial architecture of Georgetown, affording a comprehensive overview of the country and all its manifold attractions.  Adding the famous Asa Wright Centre on Trinidad and the white-sand beaches and coral reefs of Tobago results in a Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago holiday of great variety and attraction which will prove stimulating and enjoyable.  Find out more...
