The 2 Best Wildlife Trips in Romania

1.Carpathian Wilderness: A Wildlife Experience from Brașov

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 398 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $95Our pick

Leave Brașov in the late afternoon for a forest hide in the Carpathians. An English-speaking ranger escorts you in, explains bear behavior, and helps you watch quietly for bears, cubs, foxes, deer, lynx, wild boar, and game birds. Guides such as Alex, Robert, Ali, and Alin are known for adding useful wildlife insight to the wait.

“WOW...we had the best time on this tour, we was desperate to see bears in their natural habitat, we arrived at the bear hide and within 10 minutes we saw a young bear, then a huge male arrived followed by a few smaller bears and foxes, we had the most amazing view from the hide and sat in silence, totally in awe, watching these magnificent animals for about 2 hours, our guide was great also, keeping us entertained with lots of information about the wildlife in Romania on the drive to and from the forest, I would 100% recommend this tour! 👌”
