Wild Life Photographer's heaven!

Hides are set especially for photographers's needs.

Ocena 5/5
My name is Aleks and I am semi professional photographer, especially interested in wild life photography. I was really surprised when I saw that the hides on this tour are equipped especially for the photographing purposes. The tour really offered ultimate conditions for creating the perfect photo. All the hides were placed in a spot with a suitable light, they ofer a possibility to fix tripod's head and all of them were equipped with bean bags which we need for stabilising the camera. All these in the area full of bears and other wild life made this experience felt like a wild life photographer’s haven. The tour was professionally organised, we have learned a lot about local animal’s behaviour and we have been accompanied by naturalist guide who is also a hunter and who made sure that we were all safe during the whole trip. This is a tour that I would definitely recommend!

All hides are located in Notranjska region, of Slovenia, which together with the adjacent Kočevska region holds one of the world’s richest densities of brown bears. An estimated number of 1000 bears can be found here.

You can book hides between April and October. Hide sessions usually start between 2 and 3 p.m. and last until sunset. Depending on the location it takes about 10 to 20 minutes of driving plus 100 to 700 meters of walking to reach the hides.
