As a solo-traveller it was easy to get in touch with otheres in the group and the guides. Our guides Ida and Hannes (or Johannes?) were great and knew so much about musk oxen, plants and stuff about the region over all. One of the best guidence i've expirienced so far. You really get much closer to the animals and never feel unsave. For me the hike was quite easy but i saw others truggle a little to keep up because their condition not because it was to fast ;). Super nice bringing Cinamon Buns and Coffee with you for the break. A tour for anyone interessted in nature and hiking and dont mind rain or a muddy trail. Might be comming back in Wintertime for some crisper pictures and going up there with skis.

We had a wonderful time on the musk ox hike! The landscape was stunning, and we really appreciated the respectful and knowledgeable guidance throughout the tour. We were lucky to spot a musk ox and had the chance to observe it calmly from a distance – truly a special and moving moment. We also learned more about the natural environment, which added real depth to the experience. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys wildlife, hiking, and being surrounded by raw, quiet nature. Thank you for this unforgettable day!

Great trip, with a guide who could tell everything that was worth knowing about the fauna on Dovre. We had only walked 10 minutes before the first 2 mosquitoes showed up. These we could follow at good distance for about 3-4 hours. Several showed up along the way. Totally magical!

My girlfriend and I went to this safari looking for some hiking, fun, and enjoying nature. We ended up having one of our most beautiful experiences in a mountain ever, very well handled by Emily and Kaspar. As there was too many people, they splitted us in two groups, so we were lead by Kaspar, a funny and dedicated man that introduced us to the beauty of Norweigian mountains, Biology of the animals that live there and Viking's culture, all mixed up in a light and unforgettable memory. In summary, I absolutely recommend this experience for a couple's/friend's/family's plan.
