Photography tours in the Carpathian Mountains are the specialty of Safari-photo-nature team.
The concept its self was born following a spontaneous get together with a brown bear.
During
communist period chasing animals was authorized only for Nicolae
Ceausescu, his friends and visitors therefore the species weren’t put
in extinction danger and they could naturally
reproduce.
Romanian Carpathians host 60% of European bears, 40% of European wolves, lynxes, wild cats, owl, royal eagles etc.
| Brown Carpathian bear - the only opportunity to photograph the greatest European bear. The
biggest trophy shot here had 612 kg. There are usually individuals who
touch 400kg. Those figures are incredible knowing that a European bear
has around 300kg.
