Brilliant Destinations

Every destination has a living soul.

For South Africa, it may be lions, elephants and wild dogs. For China, giant pandas in bamboo forests. For Japan, cranes, deer and exotic birds. For Russia, moose, bears and the wildlife of the northern taiga. For tropical islands — whales, dolphins, sharks, manta rays, turtles and the vivid life of the reef.

Brilliant Destinations is a premium visual guide to the animals, birds and marine life that give the world's most coveted places their identity. Every film is shot on location by our own experts — never from stock — bringing you face to face with nature's masterpieces in the environments where they truly live.

Our collection allows travelers to discover a destination through the life found there: what may be seen, where it lives and when the encounter is most rewarding.
