All our cold weather wildlife watching holidays, wildlife tours and safaris all over the world are listed below:

Whilst most safaris and wildlife watching holidays are scheduled for the heat of the dry season, when water is scarce and animals are drawn to the remaining areas of water. However there are some animals where the winter is by far the best time of year to look for them. This could be due to breeding seasons, increased activity of their food / prey or that they are easier to track in the snow and so easier to see. Whatever the reason Royle Safaris makes sure that we always organise our wildlife watching holidays for the best time of year to see that species.

Snow Leopards are at their most active during the winter months when they search for mates, Wolves in Yellowstone are most active at the end of winter when their major prey are at their weakest, Siberian Tigers are easiest to track and try to find during the depths of the Russian winter. Whether it is one of those species or others, we have a range of trips that explore the winter wonderlands of mountain ranges, forests and tundra across the northern hemisphere.

Winter in some of the world’s wildest places is not for the fainthearted, temperatures can drop to -30C, snow storms can blow in for days on end and walking across iced over rivers and streams needs balance and specialist grips for your boots. However they winter wildlife tours are also true adventures, many people never visit the coldest locations in winter for any reason. Very few people have seen the hardy wildlife that live throughout the winters in these places.

So whether you want to track Siberian Tigers in the snow, photography Steller’s Sea Eagles feeding on pac ice or listen to Wolves howling into the clear winter night we are confident we have the perfect Winter Wildlife Tour or Winter Safari for you.

All these tours are available on other dates (subject to availability) than the dates listed. Please contact us to arrange a tour on a date which suits you.
