Moose safari in Sweden - Meet the Swedish National Symbol.

Join Sweden's most spectacular moose safari

On foot, we hike in pathless terrain through one of the most heavily moose-populated wilderness areas on earth.

The moose are nocturnal and rest during the day. At dusk, the moose start to move from the deepest forests under the protection of dark. Bewitching shadows are cast by tall pine trees as we hike through the forest: up over high hills and down through low valleys. In twilight, mist the Swedish national symbol strides majestically through its wild environment. The moose come to the small lake to drink or to swim to the other side. We will be there watching the giant animals.

During the safari a stop will be made at one of the many lakes in the Nature Reserve, were a wilderness picnic meal will be served. To the picnic we listen to an experienced and knowledgeable moose guide who let us know about the moose and many other wild animals in the forest.

When the moose hike starts everyone has to be absolutely silent. Then we only communicate with sign language (a necessary condition if we are to see the shy and majestic animals).

The hike is not physically demanding. We hike very carefully and with as little noise as possible during the 1-1.5 hour hike. The safaris finish with a minibus tour, in which we visit other favorite spots of the moose.

We have a lot of experience in moose watching and we always see several moose on each safari. On Nordic Discovery's worst safari (during 22 years of moose safari arrangements), 1 moose was watched. On the best safari, 34 moose were seen (during the "safari season" from 1st of May to 30th of September).

The moose safari can be booked according to the following programs:

Moose safari – Accommodation, wilderness picnic & breakfast

2350 SEK /person. Children under 15 years: 2100 SEK/child.

The tour includes: A 5-hour guided moose safari, a hike in a very moose rich area, a wilderness picnic meal with moose meat wraps mixed with vegetables and berries from the local forest, mineral water from the local brewery, local fruit, tea or coffee, a minibus tour in the moose forest, a one-night in a double room, sheets, towels and breakfast.

Where: Start and finish at the Wilderness Lodge in the small village Kloten. Comfortable beds, personal touch and wild Nordic animals around the corner. Kloten is located in the heart of the Malingsbo - Kloten Nature Reserve along road 233 between Skinnskatteberg and Kopparberg. 2.5 hours drive from Stockholm.

High season: The safari is arranged on Saturdays from 1st of May to 30th of September. Extra safaris on other days after bookings.

Low season: 1 st of October to 30th of April. During the low season, the moose follow other living patterns, so the very high scores of moose seen during the high season are not to be expected.

Number of participants: 2-8 persons/guide and group. Normally 1 group/safari. Occasionally 2 groups/safari.

Parties containing 4 or more participants have the choice to book the safari on other dates all around the year. If you are 2-3 participants and want a safari outside of the scheduled dates, please advise with anticipation and we will look in to the possibility of arrangement.

Equipment: Rain gears (in case of rain or as a backup against rain) and warmer clothes to put on after sunset, when the temperature often drops. Water-resistant shoes are recommended. There will be binoculars on the tour. If you have your own binoculars you are recommend bringing them.

Start and finish time: Depending on the hour of sunset, start and finish times vary throughout the season. We finish in full darkness and start 5 hours earlier.
