Description
Yellowstone Wildlife Safari
Yellowstone National Park contains one of the greatest concentrations of mammals in North America. This wildlife-focused tour takes you through Yellowstone’s famous Lamar Valley or Hayden Valley — one of the wildest places left in North America and widely considered the best area in the world to view wild wolves, genetically pure bison, and grizzly bear.
On any given day you may observe wolves, grizzly bears, large bison herds, bull elk, black bear, american badger, moose, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, coyote, and countless other species interacting across the landscape. On this tour we will put our selves in the best position to view the most wildlife possible.
Transportation (Suburban or Mercedes Sprinter Vans)
Private Touring Vehicles
For smaller groups (1–6 guests), we will tour in modern 4x4 Chevrolet Suburbans — quiet, comfortable, and ideal with plenty of room for. For larger groups (7+ guests), we tour the park in a Mercedes Sprinter High Roof Passenger Van, offering generous space, large windows,easy entry, and a & luxurious ride so everyone stays comfortable from start to finish.
Both vehicles are climate controlled, meticulously maintained, and chosen to match your group size for the best experience.

- Includes a scenic picnic-style lunch from a local deli, plus snacks, drinks, and water.
- Two “hidden gem” hikes / easy walks to experience the quieter side of Yellowstone.

- Binoculars for every guest + two spotting scopes per tour.
- Includes take-home HD videos of wildlife recorded through our high-resolution optics.
*Animals roam freely; we cannot guarantee every species, but we will work hard to maximize your chances. From the end of July through Early September bears, wolves, and other species can sometimes be difficult to view. Bison are viewable year round. This time of the year can also be great wildlife viewing if there is a bison carcass on the landscape. Your guide will be up to date on recent wildlife activity. If wildlife viewing is poor on the day of your tour we can shift the itineary to see more waterfalls, geysers, and get off the beaten path while still viewing the most wildlife possible on the morning of your tour.
Recommended Start Times
To have the best success viewing bears, wolves, and other predators, an early morning start is imperative. Start times vary throughout the year:
- June / July / August: typically 5:00–5:30am
- May / October: typically 5:30–6:00am (depending on pickup location)
When booking online, disregard the 7:00am time shown — it is a required placeholder.
