TAILORED WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY  - FACTS

Tailored & Private Wildlife Photographing tours are usually arranged in two different wild & natural areas in Northern Finland. For week tours, we start from Oulu airport and make a round trip by nature-friendly car, including many birds and wildlife. Ask for a tailored photography week tour for your group!

 

South Lapland area is the winter photographing paradise where the massive untouched snowfields cover your way to the well-equipped photographing hides. Golden eagles are living here, so it is more than possible that you see these big birds gliding silently above the untouched white snowfields. Many different birds live in ancient forests: Black woodpecker, Siberian jay, crested tit, raven, black grouse, capercaillie, etc. Variety is huge and we can promise nearly ten different species during one day in hide. Our base camp in South Lapland is Taigalampi cabin in Syöte National Park. The beautiful log house offers much space and a cozy atmosphere. In the yard, you will find an excellent place for photographing a great selection of arctic forest birds and reindeers. 

​

Another area is Wild Taiga, Kainuu province, North-East part of Finland, in the vast wilderness area near the Russian Border. This is a kingdom of our four biggest predators, brown bear, wolverine, wolf, and lynx. Our base camp is an old log cabin in the forest located only a couple of kilometers from the Russian border zone, on the shore of real wilderness lake Kuikka. Lake Kuikka is also a place for fishing, canoeing, and enjoying the hot tub on the lake shore during the refreshing smoke-sauna and lake swimming session. 

​

Before your stay in the shed, we check together with you your equipment, boots, and other necessary clothing before you get a short course of conduct in the hide and how to behave near the wildlife.

After this, we will do our best that you can concentrate on photographing during your stay in hide as good a condition as possible. The only things we can not control are the behavior of wild animals and weather conditions. 

 

Feel free to contact and tell us about your expectations and needs. We will make your wilderness holiday dreams come true!
