Bear Watching Safari in the Wild

Ready for a unique experience in Europe and Romania? Go with a wildlife researcher into Transylvania's wilderness near Brasov to see bears (and maybe other animals too) roaming free! The adventure and adrenaline of seeing wild animals from up close will be unforgettable!

What you need to know

  • A private tour in Brasov available on request. Places and guides VERY limited. Please book as much in advance as possible!
  • Runs mid-May - mid-September. Starting time (depending on availability + your choice + period): early morning (1h before Sunrise) OR late afternoon (2,5h before Sunset). Total duration 4h
  • Included in price: transport from Brasov and guidance. Not included: pick-up from your hotel. Exact meeting point + starting time will be given after your booking is confirmed

Look out for bears!

The guide will drive in remote areas, maybe off-road or to good vantage points from where bears can be seen. We may see animals up close from inside the car - or we use binoculars to watch them from a safe distance. As nature can't be controlled, we don't know what to expect, but you can be sure we'll see something. And if not, I'll take you again for FREE!
