When you think of safari, chances are you already have Africa in your mind. Granted, that is one of the most popular safaris in the world, but there is also amazing safari’s held in Alaska of all places. They are not only beautiful, meaningful, and rewarding, but they are quite a learning experience as well. Although prices vary, many of the 3-day expeditions are priced around $3800 per person, or you could take a 5-day expedition for about $5800. Again, prices vary, and you may be able to find better deals through the various Alaskan safari tour groups.
An example of the 3-day expedition takes you around Anchorage where you will see the Harding Ice field, plenty of tide water glaciers, the Cordova fishing village, and the volcanoes of Katmai National Park. You will see many of Alaska’s own wildlife including the intimidating brown bear. If you extend your safari to the 5-day version, you will also visit Lake Clark National Park, the Kodiak Island’s rainforest, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, and other museums. While this tour is equally wonderful, you will have the addition of being able to see some of the area’s active volcanoes which is a real treat.
A 5-day safari can also include more of the area’s national parks such as Katmai which is well known for the plethora of fish and brown bears. Denali, which is a whopping six million acres large, is something to behold as well for the true nature lovers. You can’t miss out on Kenai Fjord either which was established for the sole purpose of conserving the natural state of the glaciers in the area, as well as the coastal fjords and islands. You can’t forget to bring your camera on this 5-day safari because you will see more wildlife then you ever thought possible. You will learn about their habitats, mating rituals, and how they forage for food. Lodge accommodations as well as picnic lunches may be provided.
For the person who loves to fish, you may want to take a three to five day fishing trip, completely designed for your fishing desires. You can fish for any number of fish such as rainbow trout, arctic char, halibut, graying, and up to five different species of salmon.
All of these wonderful and dream fulfilling safaris can be booked through the Alaska Bush Safari Company. Each trip can be customized to meet your needs and personal tastes. There is no limit to what you can do on your next trip to Alaska.
