Trekking with Komodo Dragons

Komodo National Park, reached by boat from Labuan Bajo in Flores via Bali, is the only place on Earth these giant lizards still roam wild. Ranger led treks cross savanna ridges to find dragons basking near waterholes, some stretching three meters long. You keep a respectful distance as they flick forked tongues and test the air. Morning treks in the dry months of April through November give the best odds. (Image: AI generated illustration.)
