TRANSYLVANIA-Romania
DISCOVER THE UNTOUCHED WILDERNESS OF TRANSYLVANIA THROUGH AN EXCLUSIVE, PRIVATE FOUR-DAY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY ENTHUSIASTS.
This experience offers the unique opportunity to capture the majestic Brown Bear from one of Europe’s premier hides, photographing these powerful creatures at eye level in an entirely natural setting. Meanwhile, your mornings will be dedicated to photographing woodland birds from a specialized hide, strategically positioned to take advantage of the soft morning light and create stunning images.
Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out, this fully private tour ensures a personalized experience under expert guidance, offering the necessary tips for the perfect shot. In the heart of Transylvania’s primeval forests, the trip focuses exclusively on photography, utilizing professional hides that maximize the chances for incredible shots—bringing the wonders of nature directly to your lens without the need for strenuous hiking.
In addition to the iconic bears, participants have the chance to see red deer, roe deer, foxes, and wild boars, as well as a plethora of woodland birds such as woodpeckers and finches. For the best possible results, the use of two camera bodies is recommended: a telephoto lens for birds and distant shots, and a 70-200mm lens for bears approaching the hide. Additionally, using a 300mm lens at the watering holes can yield magical photos of birds reflected in the water.
