Wildlife Tours in Romania

Wildlife tours in Romania offer a truly unique wildlife experience as the country contains a wide range of attractive habitats. The beautiful landscapes of the Danube Delta are world-class wetlands teeming with birds and other wildlife. This is Europe’s largest expanse of wetland and it has exceptional biodiversity within it. There are three distinct ecosystems in the Delta – water channels and lakes, forested areas and sand dunes. Each one is home to a marvellous array of birdlife, from the large Dalmatian Pelican to the small Pygmy Cormorant.

A wildlife tour in Romania’s Danube Delta is a relaxing one. You spend your days gently boating around the waterways, admiring the scenery and adding birds to your life list. In the Bestepe Hill Natural Reserve you can stroll to where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Delta. It is a wonderful place to holiday if you are a keen botanist, too, as the variety of plantlife is astonishing.

Further inland, the Carpathian mountains in the region of Romania known as Transylvania have an abundance of natural wonders.  Vast, undisturbed forests there are inhabited by over 5500 Brown Bears, 3000 Grey Wolves, and 1500 Eurasian Lynx. And there are a number of other large European mammals to find, such as European Bison. In the southern Carpathians there is a European Bison Reserve, which is a rewildling project that can be visited.

You can take a day trip to the Urlatoarea waterfall in the Bucegi Mountains, one of the most beautiful and impressive spots in Romania. Or perhaps pay a visit to a specialist bear hide to increase your chances of seeing these huge mammals. This is an especially good opportunity for wildlife photography.
