Primeval Forests and Bird-rich Marshes
May TBA, 2011
$ TBA plus airfare

We visit the wild ancient forest of Bialowieza and the Biebrza Marsh — one of Europe's largest and richest marshlands — for one of the finest birding and wildlife experiences that the continent has to offer.

North-eastern Poland boasts, in a nutshell, some of the wildest and most unspoilt forest and freshwater marshland habitats in Europe. Our visit will take us first to the vast Biebrza Marshes, through a landscape of old-world agriculture, where working horses still pull ploughs and wooden carts, where free-range animals still run amongst the farm buildings, where ponds and patches of uncultivated ground are still scattered about the flower-rich countryside.

Accommodation: Hotels at both Bialowieza and Biebrza are en suite. A limited number of single rooms are available. Lunches are usually taken at local restaurants, and the food throughout the trip is excellent.

Leaders: Keith Grant and local Polish naturalist guides.

Numbers : Max. 14 clients

The price is per person and is fully inclusive of accommodation, meals, ground transportation by minicoach, incidental tips, admissions and national park fees, and the services of the leaders. The price does not include airfare to Poland, holiday insurance, drinks, optional tips to local drivers and guides, and other personal expenses.
