Destination Inspiration - Wildlife Ideas for May
 
Iguazu Falls, Argentina
On the border with Brazil and nearly 1700 kms from Buenos Aires the mightly Iguazu Falls are not to be missed. Set in the middle of the jungle you can kayak or canoe in the waters of the Iguazu River or explore the many acres of the surrounding subtropical rainforest packed with colourful birds and wildlife.
 
Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, Malaysia
Located just off the west coast of Sabah, Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park is made up of five lovely islands with abundant wildlife including scaly pangolins, monkeys, various snakes, monitor lizards and the (uninspiringly named) bearded pig. It is also a good place to see the white breasted sea-eagle, pied hornbill, and the green heron.
 
Peru
The Tambopata Reserve, in the Amazon Basin, protects over 1,300 bird species (including 32 parrot species - 10% of the world's total), 200 mammal species, 90 frog species and 1,200 butterfly species. You can, with luck, sight jaguars, giant otters, monkeys, peccaries, and flocks of a hundred or more macaws.
