Itinerary
Not all bears are born free! Avoid unreliable platforms, last-minute stress, and complicated bookings. With this carefully organized tour, everything is arranged for you in advance—so you can focus entirely on the experience. Hidden deep in the Carpathian forest near Brașov, more than one hundred rescued brown bears now live in safety and dignity at Bear Sanctuary Zărnești. Many were saved from cages, chains, circuses, or years of exploitation—today, they roam freely through the forest for the first time. This is not a zoo and there is no direct interaction. The visit focuses on respect, education, and conservation. This experience takes you inside the sanctuary, where you’ll walk among ancient oak trees and quietly observe bears climbing, playing, resting, and swimming—just as they should in the wild. With transport from Brașov included and an English-speaking guide by your side, this is more than a visit! It’s a powerful encounter with wildlife, compassion, and second chances.

About Brașov
Brașov is a medieval Transylvanian city ringed by the Carpathians, with a Gothic Black Church, a cobbled main square and day trips to Bran Castle.
Brașov lies in a basin of the Carpathian Mountains in central Romania, with the wooded Tâmpa hill rising above its old town. The city was built up by German settlers, the Transylvanian Saxons, and its centre is a tidy grid of baroque houses around Council Square, with the Old Council House in the middle. The Black Church, the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, was blackened by a fire in 1689.
Top-ranked sights in Brașov: Black Church (Biserica Neagra), Council Square (Piata Sfatului), Rope Street (Strada Sforii).
