Not essays but books from which you'd have to extract suitable passages:
One that springs to mind is Three Men In A Boat, by the English writer Jerome K. Jerome - a whimsical, old-time tale of a boating holiday on the River Thames. Its age (pub. 1889), dialogue between three main characters, and humour ought suitably lift the tone of what for the audience and judges could otherwise be a drearily over-serious sequence of mere travelogues.
Another, more travelogue and not humorous but different, with deeply poignant overtones nowadays is Gavin Maxwell's A Reed Blown In The Wind. This is the account by the Scottish naturalist and writer of his time in the company of explorer Wilfred Thesiger with the Arabs dwelling in the permanent marshes between the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates.
Whilst by a Norwegian rather than British writer, Thor Heyerdhal's Kon-Tiki may be worth a look too. This describes the trans-Pacific voyage in 1947 by Heyerdhal and fellows on the eponymous balsa-wood raft, to determine if the original inhabitants of Polynesia could have come from South America.
Good Luck... though given the nature of this site, probably too late!
