We Brits are known as a nation of animal lovers, so why not indulge this passion on your next holiday? Here, travel specialists www.greenbee.com share their personal favourites to allow you to reveal your inner beast!

First stop: Galapagos

Ecuador may be one of the smallest countries in South America, but it is also the gateway to the unique wildlife habitat of the Galapagos Islands - an animal lover's paradise - with opportunities to observe some of the rarest, and tamest, wild animals at very close quarters.

Holiday here and you can experience Ecuador's spectacular landscapes before embarking on a cruise around the Galapagos Islands. See the famous Galapagos giant tortoises and iguanas, snorkel in search of sea lions, penguins and sea turtles, or watch out for dolphin pods. Bird lovers can indulge their twitching fantasises by watching blue-footed boobies dance or albatross raising their young.
