Have you always wanted to go on a wildlife safari? If so, this is the tour for you! The Lamar Valley is known as the “American Serengeti.” Make the most of your time in the area by having a guide take you to one of the most famous spots to see wildlife in the country. Your local tour guide knows where to find wildlife and can help you see animals like wolves and bears from a safe distance away using a spotting scope and binoculars. You will also visit several waterfalls throughout the day and see the travertine terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs.
Not only do you get a guide to drive you around the Upper Loop —a lot to cover on your own— kick back and enjoy taking in magnificent landscapes, see wildlife in a protected ecosystem, explore geothermal areas, learn about the history of the region, and enjoy being surrounded by mountains, lakes, rivers, and waterfalls.
We will drive about 160 miles and walk 1-2 miles throughout the day on this tour. Your guide will make frequent roadside stops throughout the day to look for wildlife. We take care of the trip planning, driving, and guiding so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy.
