Have you been to the Galapagos islands?

Where to go after the Galapagos Islands?

  • Help me find a place to travel that is remotely as amazing as The Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos was the greatest trip of my life - amazing wildlife (up close), diverse physical activity, natural beauty. It's hard to explain how amazing it is to someone who hasn't been there. What other places might be good in similar ways?

  • Answer:

http://www.theworld.org/2012/03/video-galapagos-of-the-middle-east/, often called the "Galapagos of the Indian Ocean." Now gaining more http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1998879,00.html popularity, but it's still early enough to go and enjoy it relatively unspoiled. Good practical thoughts at http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntreeSearch?q=Socotra&x=0&y=0. And don't believe people who tell you that, just because it's technically a territory of Yemen, you're putting yourself in grave danger. No harm has yet come to anyone visiting Socotra.

Botswana. Camp Shindi in the delta and Jack's Camp in the Kalahari are both unbelievable. At Shindi, we weren't even able to drop off our luggage before stopping to watch a wild leopard hunting. Jack's camp has made me want to see the deserts of the world, and my memories there are more amazing to me than the Galapagos. Difficulty: not cheap (but neither was Galapagos).

I'll give this a stab because ...the Galapagos was also a high for me and very unique, for the reasons that you list. The particular unique high point for me in Ecuador was getting so close to the wild life (i.e. having sea lion pups swim around you). So I'm going to suggest the following, but please check web sites for travel warnings, etc., as the safety in these places changes/has changed from yr to yr. Rwanda. Go on a trek to see gorillas. You can actually hear them in the bushes around you as they make cupping noises, growl, and even charge at you (i.e. silverback). Our guide actually had a female gorilla groom him and the gorillas were no more than a few feet away. There was also hiking into a bamboo forest of a former volcano site (also Rwanda) so the landscape was unique, too. If you want to go somewhere and see more unique/diverse landscape, beauty, I'd recommend coral reefs in Kenya.
