Wildlife Tours in Hungary

Wildlife tours in Hungary offer the experience of vast flocks of migrating birds over the largest semi-natural grassland plains in Europe. The Hortobágy steppe is the biggest and best-known national park in Hungary and home to 342 species of birds. It is a major stopover site for 50,000 and 70,000 Common Cranes on their way from northern Europe to North Africa.

These huge birds, with their 2m windspans and loud trumpeting calls, are a thrilling spectacle. They fly over in waves from their feeding grounds to their roost sites every evening.

Also to be seen on wildlife tours in Hungary are Eastern Imperial and White-tailed Eagles and Great Bustards. There are Eagle and Ural Owls, Pygmy Cormorants and Wallcreepers, among many other exciting bird species. In Bukk and Aggtelek National Parks, you can see many exciting mammals. These include European Sousliks, Beech Martens and at least 20 different types of bats.

Other mammals include Grey Wolves, Golden Jackals, Wild Boars, Eurasian Lynx, Wild Cats, Moose and Brown Bears. Hortobágy is also the centre for the breeding of Taurus cattle. These represent an experiment in attempting to bring back the prehistoric wild cattle known as Aurochs.

All in all, wildlife tours in Hungary are memorable trips to a wildlife-rich area that is off the beaten track. Find the best holidays in Bulgaria to suit your preferences by consulting the Blue Sky Wildlife specialists.
