Our Territory
Our area is located in the northern barren-lands region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. We are located past the boreal forest into the barren-lands, that are renown for their giant lakes and river drainage that makes for a game rich environment. The animal population on the barren-lands is high with Muskox, Grizzly Bear, Arctic Wolves, Wolverines, Arctic Hares and the populations are estimated to be in the thousands for Caribou. You will be remote, which puts you in the heart of where these majestic animals live.
All of our Canadian Safari Adventure trips are located within the Northwest Territory closed caribou zone. The winter Mobile Bathurst Caribou closed zone (the closed mobile zone moves with the caribou migration). Caribou are a main food source and the wolves follow the caribou herds. This is a prime area for arctic wolves, grizzly bears, muskox and wolverines.
The Tour
You will be boating, as well as going on tundra and esker hiking, which means you’ll be glassing areas that have central barren-land caribou, wolves, muskox, grizzly bears, and wolverines. When we locate the animals we will boat or hike to a spot for excellent photography opportunities. Breakfast will be at 8:00 AM until 8:30 AM. You will head out with your bagged lunches and snacks, thermoses and water for the day, unless you are hiking around the lodge and you may return to the lodge for lunch. You will end your day back at the lodge at 6:00 pm with supper served at 7:00pm. After supper you will relax, read, there are games to play, socializing about your day, late in the night you can set an alarm if you choose to rest, then start watching for the skies to light up with the Aurora Borealis displays that are part of the northern hemisphere.
What to Expect
Travelling the waterways, and hiking afford you excellent opportunities to see the animals in their natural habitat. You will need to come prepared mentally for long sitting periods glassing, so absolutely ensure that you are prepared to layer up and down to stay comfortable. Staying focused for the duration raises your opportunity of success for your incredible photography opportunities. The thrill of success on capturing these animals in their home setting is exhilarating. All day long your senses will be assaulted with the beauty of the vibrant fall colours of red, orange, and yellow shimmering as far as the eye can see. On your hikes you will see hundreds of mushrooms, and the fruits of the tundra cloud berries, blueberries, and cranberries. After supper you may want to catch a nap so you can get up later to watch for the Aurora Borealis to light up the skies.
