What's the plan?

It's intense tour. Each day we start before sunrise. In the afternoon the schedule is not so strict and it can be changed according to the needs of guests. We drive quite a lot and walks are not so long and demanding.

Friday: Meeting at the airport, driving to the region with chance to hear eagle-owl in the marshes, and encountering elks and beavers on our way. Accommodation in cozy hotel.
Saturday:  We start before sunrise, and reach a good place for morning geese fight to the fields. We visit many locations searching for really big groups. Huge amount of emotions is guaranteed.
Brunch brake in a small restaurant.
Another hours of birds and mammals observations. Dinner and in the evening safe rafting down the river in search of beavers and geese is possible (option). During night hours we search for tawny, barn and eagle-owl.
Sunday: In the early morning we drive to meet with a "marsh-king" - an elk. There is a great chance to see it from a really small distance. We will do our best to know it's habits and biology. Breakfast in really nice restaurant. Later hours depending on the will of participants. Walk / geese observations / free time till the hours we have to drive back to the airport.

There is always an option to make the stay longer or if possible to combine two destinations (eg. Biebrza & Bialowieza).
