Private Moose safari - Rovaniemi

The biggest wild animals in Europe! Private Moose Safari.

Moose safari is a fascinating nature trip for searching moose, the largest land mammals in Europe. Starting in the evening, you will be taken into the wilderness, where we drive on wilderness roads and paths searching for moose and other wild animals and birds. When we spot one, we take a better look using binoculars. This is also a great opportunity for  taking photographs or videos.

We take a longer break to savour some snacks. As this is a wildlife safari, wild animals are sometimes unpredictable. Moose are wild and shy animals, they can hear humans from kilometres away and quickly hide into the forest, so it is possible that we can’t see any moose during the safari. In that case, half of the price will be refunded in the end of the safari. Although the population is very high at the moment, we need to remember that it is question of unpredictable wild animals!

The number of moose that we find varies depending on, for example, weather conditions. Usually we find 3-8 moose. Our “world record” is 26 moose in  2 hours! Other wildlife we may encounter includes reindeer, hares, foxes and large birds like owls, swans, eagles and cranes. In summer 2021 we visited eagle's nest on almost every safari. Brown bears and lynxes have also been seen occasionally!

This safari was invented by us in 1998 summer. We have run this tour for 24 years, so we really know these shy animals, places where they live each week as it varies through the summer.

Moose are large animals, some male ones carry antlers even 120 cm wide, reaching up to 2.10 metres, antlers in 3 metres height and weight 600 kg. Most moose we meet are females and youngsters, sometimes babies.

Guiding, snacks and transfers to wilderness and back are included. We also take pictures on this safari and send them to you afterwards. Due to the unpredictable nature of these animals, we can't guarantee the pictures, though.
