Embark on a thrilling 2-Day Winter Wolves and Wildlife Safari in Yellowstone National Park, where you'll witness the breathtaking struggle for survival among iconic wildlife like bison, elk, and gray wolves. Customize your adventure with expert guides, explore famous sites, and enjoy catered meals amidst the stunning winter landscape.
Expand your adventure across Yellowstone National Park’s most exclusive landscape, and take a deeper dive into America’s wildest winter wonderland.
Our 2-Day Winter Wolves and Wildlife Safaris expose you to a wintry world dominated by North America’s most durable dominions. In an ecosystem frozen over with snow and ice, Yellowstone’s most enduring residents compete with the elements, and each other, in an epic effort for survival. This ecosystem’s colossal herbivores, like bison, elk, and moose, descend on the lower elevations of the Northern Range to forage, drawing Yellowstone’s most emotive apex predator, the gray wolf, along in hot pursuit. Winter is quite possibly the most reliable season to witness wild wolves in Yellowstone National Park, and more than winter’s chilly bite, the astonishing experience of watching wolves engage with this extraordinary environment might just take your breath away.
Our wildlife safaris are completely customizable. The needs, desires, and comfort of our guests are our utmost priorities. We aim to include several highlights that Yellowstone is famous for in our itinerary, such as visiting Mammoth Hot Springs, exploring Lamar Valley, and welcoming other impromptu experiences. Our guides are flexible and will lead the journey according to your interests, current wildlife sightings, weather, and road conditions. We will arrange accommodations on the border of, or within, Yellowstone National Park to give you complete access to Yellowstone, and its wonders, over the course of two days, in every condition.
We pick up at central meeting points and various hotels throughout the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Your exact pickup time and tour duration will be determined by your hotel location and the season. Please make note of your pickup time and location, and save it for your reference.
Please be ready and waiting in the central meeting location, or hotel lobby, a few minutes before your pickup. Please allow an additional 5-10 minutes for your guide to arrive just in case they are delayed for any reason.
