Expedition Guide: The Arctic Big Five

When people hear the word "safari", their minds naturally wander to the sweeping savannas of Africa. But what if instead of venturing to the golden savannas, one embarked on an adventure headed to the crystal landscape of the North?

Arctic Safaris are expeditions to observe wild animals in their natural habitat. It is an immersive experience that takes you to another world and makes you feel a vast range of emotions. Anyone going on this adventure needs to stock up on warm clothes, embrace serendipity and exercise plenty of patience.
