Highlights
With exclusive permission from three highland estates to use their tracks, in the comfort of our Land Rover Discovery our safaris take you off-road into the wilder areas of northeast Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, allowing you to experience rarely seen, breath-taking landscapes and amazing wildlife. Our safaris pass though golden eagle and white-tailed eagle territories, woodlands inhabited by wildlife including red squirrels and open ground where red deer roam. With over 25 years experience working in conservation in the UK and overseas, including 16 years with the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park Ranger Service, your guide, Gareth, is uniquely placed to ensure that you have an exciting, informative and memorable wildlife safari. Gareth is able to identify most birds in the area by call or song. While wildlife is unpredictable, we usually see a good variety of animals and birds and the scenery is always spectacular and atmospheric, even in bad weather.
