About us

We are a group of young Dutch wildlife-enthusiasts with a great passion for nature all around the globe. We enjoy travelling to countries to see as many different species as possible. But also in the Netherlands we spend a lot of time in nature to search for all kind of animals and plants. During most trips our main focus is on reptiles, amphibians, dragonflies and birds, although we have a very broad interest. To share our passion we build this website, consisting of trip reports, short articles, dozens of pictures and more.
