Wildlife Tours in Slovenia

Wildlife tours in Slovenia offer some experiences to savour if your ambition for your wildlife holiday is to see large mammals. Within its natural parks, such as Kočevsko in the south, can be found Grey Wolves, Brown Bears and Eurasian Lynx. You can watch these animals from tower hides and observe their behaviour without disturbing them.

In these virgin forests, you can completely immerse yourself in nature and enjoy sightings of smaller mammals as well. Among these you can find Beech Martens and Red Squirrels. The mountain regions of Slovenia host Alpine Marmots, Ibex and Chamois. They also feature beautiful landscapes of glacial lakes and crystal clear streams.

Of course, it’s not just mammals and birds that make up the 24.000 species available to you on wildlife tours in Slovenia. The specialist tour operators of Blue Sky Wildlife can take you to see bounteous numbers of butterflies, for instance. There are also fascinating amphibians and reptiles to be had. In Triglavski Narodni National Park in the Julian Alps, northwest Slovenia, botanists can revel in rich wildflower meadows. These can contain over 2,900 species of plants!

The Karst region of southwestern Slovenia is a landscape of caves, limestone pavements, gorges and underground streams. There you can find the aquatic salamander known as the Olm or human fish. This strange creature lives in caves in the Dinaric Alps, especially where that mountain range divides the country from Italy. The diversity to be found on wildlife tours in Slovenia will delight you.
