This safari will take you out of Rovaniemi, straight into the Taiga forest and its beautiful nature. Accompanied by your guide, you will explore the beauty of the Lappish forests and learn more about the trees, plants, their properties, and wildlife. You will also be taught how to use your surroundings to make a fire and some other basic survival skills.
The tour operates all year round, with specific features attached to each season. In the wintertime, you will enjoy views of huge snow drifts, white trails and frozen trees, with very cold temperatures that may drop down to -30°C! You will learn about the footprints you find around you in the snow - tracks made by wolves, lynx, wolverines, moose, reindeer, weasels, Arctic hare and many more.
