BEAR WATCHING AND PHOTOGRAPHY SAFARI -15 Hours

Only 2 hours from Tallinn

Encounter the European bear in its natural environment, the wild taiga, is an unforgettable experience and of course for photography enthusiastic an opportunity to take the shot of a lifetime from the comfort and safety of our specially designed Bear hides.
Our hides offer a beautiful view of the site at a comfortable viewing distance with the possibility to take pictures.
Sometimes Elk, Wild Boar, and Roe Deer come to feed on the meadow and European Beavers or Otters can occasionally swim by. During summer months, the creek can almost dry up. Ural Owl and Red Fox come here to hunt for mice and sometimes also Goshawk, Sparrowhawk, Golden Eagle and White-tailed Eagle come by and look for prey. Rare visitors to the scenery include Badger, Wolf, Lynx, and Mink.
Hides are equipped with viewing chairs, sleeping places and dry toilets, there are special opening for cameras. There is also a very sensitive microphone outside the hide. It catches the soundscape of the surrounding and you can listen to it through speakers installed inside the hides. You can hear birds singing in the spring, branches crack under bear feet, or animals going through the water. Our guests have also heard Elk mating calls, Wolves howling, and Raccoon Dogs fighting with each other. This makes the whole experience even more immediate and powerful.
The photographing hides site is situated pine and birch forests. For photographers, the site offers excellent photography opportunities to get the subject close.

GOOD TO KNOW
What to wear ?
Warm clothes and comfortable (preferably waterproof) footwear are necessary for the walk to hide. Warm clothes and indoor footwear/warm socks are strongly recommended to be worn in the hide.

What to take with you ?
We suggest taking binoculars with you, as they help to spot wildlife from a distance and during the dark hours. We can also rent out binoculars for one night, which greatly improves sight in poor light conditions. You would also have to take your own food and water.

Can I use a camping stove inside the hide ?
No. Open fire is not allowed inside the hide.

Will the guide stay in the hide with us for the night ?
No. The guide will not stay with you in the hide for the night unless there is a mutual agreement. He/she will just take you to the hides and make a quick tour inside the hide, so you would know what to take notice of.

What kind of food should I take with me ?
We suggest taking things which are easy to eat and do not need any extra preparations – sandwiches, fruit, chocolate. It’s better if the food or snacks are not packed in materials, which make a lot of noise when handled (such as some potato chip packages).
