Introducing Paul Goldstein – Expert Leader
Over 40 years in the travel industry, Paul Goldstein has gained a reputation as a passionate and forthright commentator on all things related to travel. His real expertise, however, lies in wildlife photography, Africa, Asia, and the Polar regions. As a presenter, guide and photographer, Paul has few equals. If you can catch him while he is standing still, you can expect advice that is strong on opinion but backed by real experience.

Read time – 3 minutes “This morning was glorious. A Spitsbergen scene: a coruscating sea, cobalt glacier, avian players and the snap crackle and pop of the treacherous brash ice.

Read time – 2 minutes For me it was Kipling, for my boy Madagascar, for others it could be a postcard or a billboard.

Read time – 3 minutes Sometimes there comes a day which breaks so many wildlife records that it will be indelibly etched on memory rather than megapixels, one where so many contributory factors combine to produce animal alchemy, a grail from the very top drawer. Spitsbergen is not just about Polar bears but on July...

We set wildlife and photography guide Paul Goldstein a challenge: go out of his comfort zone on a trekking trip to Mount Toubkal, Morocco, the highest point in North Africa. It’s Africa, but not as I’m used to it. The rolling acacia-dotted plains filled with bounteous wildlife is how I classify this vast continent. Souks,...

Read time – 4 minutes Mara veteran, Paul Goldstein recalls his best herd crossing moment. ‘Remember Kijana’ Boniface murmured, giving me his pet name – young boy – for someone who was not only his boss but also ten years his senior, ‘the migration is not just about crossing rivers, it is about a movement...

Read time – 3 minutes Paul Goldstein visits the Emperor Penguin colony of Snow Hill Island on the Ice-Breaker the Kapitan Kehlebnikov.
