In this feature, The Sunday Times explores the Galapagos Islands through the lens of evolution, behaviour, and the remarkable intimacy of wildlife encounters.
Focusing on species such as blue-footed boobies, sea lions, and marine iguanas, the article reflects on how the islands continue to embody the ideas first developed by Charles Darwin. The wildlife is portrayed not as distant spectacle, but as something encountered at close range, often within arm’s reach.
Within the travel brief, Galapagos Safari Camp is highlighted as a land-based option on Santa Cruz Island, offering an alternative to cruise-based itineraries and a way to experience the islands at a different pace.
The article notes the Camp’s highland setting and positions it as a place to return to after days of exploration, combining access to wildlife with space and privacy away from the busier coastal routes.
A stay at Galapagos Safari Camp can be a good way to wind down and check out the wildlife without piling into a Zodiac
