Who Is Dannystravels?
I was born in Holland to English/Argentinian parents and from a very early age I became obsessed with nature documentaries.
I started my journey on Steemit with lion walks, diving with great white sharks, and hanging out with chimpanzees - little did I know I'd still be here almost 2 years later and sharing my stories with over 2000 followers!
I'm now in Chile and ready to embark on a new adventure, but first I wanted to recap on some of my favourite stories and to welcome any new followers to my page.
Rio de Janeiro
In Rio de Janeiro I visit some of the classic tourist destinations including Christ The Redeemer, take some amazing hikes up Pedra da Gávea, and visit some more off the beaten track destinations like the sleepy Ilha Grande.

The Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro crater is a diverse area of grassland, forests, rivers, and ravines creating a haven for an abundance of wildlife. On this trip I managed to spot an elusive Serval Cat, and visit the David Sheldrick elephant orphanage in neighbouring Kenya.
Zambia
In Zambia I visited the incredible Victoria Falls, and then set up to camp near the Zambezi National Park to come into close contact with all the animals of the African bush. On this trip we had an incredible encounter with a hyena, which is one of my favourite stories so far.
Incredible Zanzibar
Zanzibar is one of the most beautiful places I've visited - we took boats to view dolphins and humpback whales. We also got to work with school children in Jambiani and to learn about some of the efforts being made to help this poor (but incredibly happy) community.
Exploring Cape Town
In Cape Town I show you some of the best spots to go hiking or to enjoy a day out, including visiting the prison island that was famously home to Nelson Mandela for 18 years. As usual theres a mix of fun stories - like when I almost stepped on a puff adder on the edge of a cliff.

Mountain Gorillas In The Congo
It was an absolute privelege to travel through Rwanda to reach the Congo to go on the front line with the amazing team at Virunga National Park protecting mountain gorillas. We spend New Years by a lava lake, and get to see efforts being made to help orphaned gorillas.
Bonito's beautiful waters
Bonito translated means beautiful, and visiting the eco tourism capital of Brazil, it's easy to see why. We did a lot of snorkelling in what seemed like a huge outdoor aqaurium, visited underground caves in Abismo, and finally headed to the spectacular Buraco das Araras.
Colombia & Trekking to the hidden city
I landed in Bogota, and then made my way to tackle the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range. We come into contact with the native Tairona people as we trekked through jungle, waterfalls and rivers to reach this incredible lost settlement.
The Pantanal Wetlands and Wildlife
I visit the worlds largest tropical wetland site and come face to face with the local Pantiero cowboys, Jacaré Caiman, Capybara, and a whole host of other wildlife. I was also lucky enough to meet one of the photographers from the BBC show The Blue Planet.
Beautiful, well done on the pictures ..
