Discover the Wildlife of Värmland
In the search for the king of the forest, as the biggest mammal of Sweden it carries its name with pride. With an estimate of between 350-400 thousand individuals, the first thing that should pop into your mind is the moose. We believe the most beautiful way to find, see and enjoy the moose, is in it’s natural habitat doing what it does best and that’s simply being a moose! We will take you on a Safari searching for these kings and queens (with maybe some princes or princesses) finding them in their natural habitat.

Location
The moose safari takes place around Arvika. Arvika is known for its white moose. However, they’re super rare which makes them even harder to find, but we might be lucky!
What can you expect on a Moose Safari?
You can expect an active and informative evening with lots of info about Värmlands fauna and flora. There is plenty to see and find, so you will definitely be pointed out a lot of information about the animals, including tracks or other markings and the wild flora that surrounds you. The Safari will be in a 4×4 vehicle and sometimes we walk for a brief moment. We will have a little break with some drinks and snacks in a beautiful setting.
What to bring on a Moose Safari?
The only thing you have to bring on the safari is a good mood, suitable clothing and your camera or telephone to take photographs.
What to wear on a Moose Safari?
Moose have a very bad eyesight but they can see the difference between bright and natural colours so we would recommend natural coloured clothing. A raincoat is good for rainy days and for cold evenings we recommend a warmer/insulated jacket or vest. Take shoes or boots so you can walk comfortably on a variety of surfaces, including the wet ones since we are in Sweden! Long pants are also advised because of the insects, nettles and higher grasses we are going to cover. Also a cap or maybe even a beanie for the colder evenings will be perfect for keeping your head warm and keeping insects out of your hair. Due to the lack of eyesight moose can smell very well so we recommend no heavy smelling perfumes, as the wind in their direction can easily scare them away!
What is included in the Moose Safari?
The tour will include entertainment for young and old, with lots of information and fun. We will provide binoculars and some field and pocket guides. There will be a little break to enjoy some water, coffee, tea, softdrinks and a snack in a beautiful setting. We have a camera with a zoomlens so if you are interested in having some photographs we can always send them to you afterwards.
What other animals can we spot on the Moose Safari?
Moose (of-course), Red deer, Fallow deer, Roe deer, Wild Boar, Wolf, Lynx, Fox, European Badger, Squirrel and other different kinds of small mammals. Different kinds of snakes and other smaller reptiles. Lots of birds (different species) and even a beaver on the waterside is a possibility.

When does the Moose Safari takes place?
The safari takes place in the months May, June, July, August and September due to long evenings and enough daylight to see the animals and photograph them. Safari’s take place in the evening and the duration will be 3 – 3,5 hours, including the break. Starting and ending times vary in the months due to different times of sunset.
Dot,dot,dot.
We do our best to provide you with excellent sightings of moose, but bear in mind that moose, and all other animals live in total freedom in our area so we can not guarantee that you will see one. On all safaris you will most likely encounter a few animals in the list above, but you will have a fun and informative evening regardless!
