Stunning Slovakia offers unique and exhilarating tours into previously inaccessible areas of wildlife. We are able to do this by integrating these tours into our Project Bear programme which we are undertaking with the High Tatras National Park Authority.
Each of our tours is centred around a unique opportunity to track bears in their natural habitat. There is no baiting of bears to bring them to hides as is usually the case with many of the other bear watching tours in Europe. A combination of the terrain and expert knowledge of the bears in the region gives us a very high success rate in finding bears without artificially affecting their behaviour. We believe that we are the only Eurasian bear watching outfit that can offer non-hide based trips with a virtually guaranteed chance of sightings.
Although as part of Project Bear we collar bears, and follow them using GPS, we do not track these particular animals. However due to them living in the regions in which we take tourists there is a chance of seeing them as well.
The areas in which we work are not only prohibited to any other tourists but are also rich in other wildlife such as wolves, the endemic Tatra Chamois, the endemic Tatra Marmot, roe and red deer, lynx, pine martens and many birds including golden eagles.
Clearly, the bear watching is the centre-piece of all of our tours, but it can obviously be combined with the rich cultural heritage of this stunning country - Slovakia.
