We all love holidays, but some of us don’t get enough satisfaction from the usual beach resort vacation and are seeking more adventure, education, and tranquility. There are several great places on Earth where you can still connect with Mother Nature and enjoy getting close to the animal world, without having to pay the high price or getting into danger.
If you are determined to plan a trip close to nature this year, you will find a few tips below.
Explore
Before you would start your planning, it is important that you find the destination that fits your budget and your preferences. You might enjoy going on bike rides along the coast, or staying in an Eco lodge in the rainforest.
Whatever you are looking for, there are perfect destinations you can find great deals on. Check comparison and destination guides, such as Trip Advisor and Kayak before you choose your vacation spot.
Avoid the Crowd
While there are plenty of places offering wildlife tours and activities, some of them are extremely popular, and you will end up in a group of 30 people walking through the forest.
If you are after a more personalized experience, you might need to look beyond popular destinations. The best way to go about this is hiring a car and going deep in the country, to see how people live close to nature and learn from local tribes instead of mixing with fellow travelers.

Plan Your Safari
You can also have a few days’ of safari trip at your selected destination. Get a local guide to accompany you on your quest, and communicate your needs and wishes, so they can tailor the itinerary to your needs.
If you are taking your family on a journey, you will also have to consider how you can make your kids appreciate the natural world more.

Visit Islands
A great way of getting away from it all is visiting remote locations. Islands can provide you with more tranquility than popular beaches, and you can take a step back from your busy life and return to your normal lifestyle rejuvenated.

Set a Goal
To make the most out of your nature-inspired trip, you might want to create a goal for yourself. There are good ways of staying motivated when the hiking trip is more challenging than you thought, or you need to cycle another few hundred miles.
Create a list of animals, plants, scenes you would like to see, and take photos to share with your friends and family members at home.
In Summary
Whether you are looking to connect with nature or just get away from civilization for a while, there are plenty of untainted places to explore around the world. Make the most out of your trip and avoid popular tourist spots, so you can make this experience as personal as possible. Educate yourself and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
