Specialist tour operator Natural World Safaris has been nominated for two prestigious travel awards.

The company is known for immersive experiences in the natural world, including snorkelling with blue whales off Sri Lanka, seeing polar bear cubs emerging from their dens in Arctic Canada, and tracking snow leopards in the Indian Himalayas.

Natural World Safaris has been nominated for best safari, wildlife and nature company and best holiday company to Sub-Saharan Africa at the British Travel Awards.

Managing director Will Bolsover, said: “Brighton is a fantastic city with a thriving travel industry hub. It’s a great place to both live and work.

“Where possible we look to give back to the local community and earlier this year we were delighted to bring Travel Massive to Brighton, a globally-known networking event to connect those working in travel and creative industries.

“Now we are hoping the city can help us by getting behind our campaign for votes”.

Lorraine Barnes Burton, British Travel Awards chief executive, said: “Natural World Safaris is to be congratulated on reaching the voting stage of the prestigious British Travel Awards, the largest consumer-voted awards programme in the UK.

“The British Travel Awards-winning accolade is the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who really is the best in the business of travel for the UK consumer.”
