About This Adventure

Embark on a thrilling three-day Wild West Safari through Yellowstone and the Rocky Mountain West. Experience breathtaking landscapes, encounter wild mustangs, and learn from expert naturalist guides. This customizable adventure promises unforgettable wildlife sightings, iconic landmarks, and the chance to witness the region's rich conservation stories, tailored to your interests.

Destination: Yellowstone

Overview

This fantastic multi-day safari is an adventure through the wilds of Montana and Wyoming, showcasing the northeastern corner of Yellowstone National Park and numerous hidden delights of the Rocky Mountain West, including the rare chance to see wild mustangs.

Our three-day Wild West Safari is a unique opportunity to explore Yellowstone and beyond; to see firsthand how our wild lands are protected, managed, and experienced in the West. From the world’s first National Park where wild wolves and bears dominate the ecosystem, to areas outside of the National Park, where a remnant herd of wild mustangs thrives, your professional naturalist guide will educate you on the history and current conservation stories that define this region. Along the way you will have time to enjoy wildlife sightings, visit iconic features of Yellowstone and enjoy the seemingly endless and powerful scenery around you.

Like all our safaris, this journey is completely customizable. The needs, desires and comfort of our guests are our utmost priorities. Over three days we will aim to include highlights of Northern Yellowstone; Mammoth Hot Springs, an incredibly unique example of travertine formations, Lamar Valley with its amazing abundance of North America’s wildlife, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, with its magnificent waterfalls that have inspired generations of artists and viewers alike. We will venture into Wyoming over the famed Beartooth Pass, which has been hailed as one of the great mountain by-ways in this country, on our way to the High Deserts near Cody, Wyoming where herds of mustangs provide awe-inspiring photo and viewing opportunities.

With the use of binoculars and spotting scopes, we can unobtrusively observe authentic wild animal behaviors and your guide is there to interpret what you see and share their depth of knowledge around these incredible experiences. Our guides are flexible and will adjust your itinerary for any impromptu experiences. Your exact route and itinerary will be determined by your interests, current wildlife sightings, and weather and road conditions. Our guides are all highly experienced, with thousands of hours in the field, and will expertly tailor your safari to you and your group.
