About this experience
Experience the enchanting Swedish wildlife in its natural habitat during our evening safari.
Twilight offers the prime opportunity to catch sight of the three main animals of our safari: the majestic moose, graceful roe deer, and elusive wild boar. Gather around a cosy campfire as your local guide share his knowledge about the diverse Swedish wildlife.
Alongside the tasty dinner, we'll be serving locally crafted light beers and a selection of refreshing soft drinks for you to enjoy. To conclude the dinner, you'll be treated to a delectable pastry paired with a traditional "kokkaffe," brewed just like they do it in Northern Sweden.
The adventure truly begins with a guided hike, where you'll seek out wildlife and learn to identify their signs and tracks. Following the hike, we'll continue the wildlife expedition by van, allowing us to explore a wider area and heightening our chances of encountering these magnificent creatures.
