Bear safari from Brasov
Bear safari near Brasov, Transylvania, Romania
The bear safari allows you enrich your holiday in Brasov with an unforgettable experience: watch wild bears in uncontrolled conditions. Visit is available generally from mid-May until end-August, but do check with us for opportunity and availability both inside and outside this timeframe. The field trip takes place either in the afternoon/evening or very early in the morning (precise hour to be confirmed).
This bear safari starts from Brasov and transport is included (pick up from other places implies an extra cost). Usually we are successful in seeing wild bears and other animals, but as there are wild animals involved – nothing is guaranteed. We do give you a second chance free of charge in case your first was unsuccessful and no bears showed up (valid ONLY inside the mentioned timeframe of mid-May – end-August).

Program Description
Bear safari near Brasov involves a low-to-no level of fitness in most cases. A wildlife specialist accompanies you at all times, being available to give you information related to bears, ecology and so on if you are interested.
You need to wear comfortable clothing and shoes (appropriate for a short walk in the forest), dark and dull colors and no strong smells
There is a minimum of 2 persons paying for this tour (so, if you travel alone – you’d have to pay for 2).
This is a private tour, we do not mix groups.
You will be requested to not use any lights while taking photos, including the phone screen light if you take selfies.
Important notes:
– bear safari DOES NOT take place at a hide
– the bears are not attracted in any way
– it is crucial you follow the rules set out by your wildlife specialist in order to keep you and the animals safe
– as we are talking about wild animals – there are no guarantees you will see anything, but we do offer a second chance free of charge if your first was unsuccessful
– the photo fee is included for non-commercial photos, but you will have to avoid using any lights.
As this is a popular activity – you need to book it way in advance. You will also need to be flexible with timings, as there are several places where we do this activity, and some of them involve more driving than others. Do keep in mind that you will have to be already in the field for either sunrise or sunset (this means a very early departure, or a late return from the field)
