Yellowstone National Park forms the core of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, with one of the highest levels of wildlife diversity in North America. Our full-day private safari endeavors to highlight the hundreds of species of animals and plants that call this place home by utilizing the vast knowledge and experience of our naturalist guides.
Our guides provide not only the understanding of wildlife habits, and the story of their importance on the landscape. Throughout the day as you ride in our comfortable vehicles, your guide will educate and converse with you about the incredible ecosystem. They will also be attuned to all our guests' needs and desires, and will plan accordingly for walking, viewing, picnicking and moments of wilderness solitude. The use of optics such as binoculars and spotting scopes makes for incredible and personal moments of connection with this wild place. Your guide is at your service to help you have the best experience from start to finish.

What To Expect
Mammoth Hot Springs
Mammoth Hot Springs is a collection of thermal features at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is best known for the travertine terraces that form from mineral deposits, but there are many other observable geothermal features in this area. The algae living in the pools creates the distinct brownish, reddish colors. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
Petrified Tree
A petrified redwood seems out of place in present day Yellowstone National Park, but millions of years ago, this area looked much different. Petrified trees, such as this are a natural relic of a volcanic past. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

5.00We had such an amazing experience with Maia. She was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about Yellowstone. It was incredible to see so much wildlife such as; bison, coyotes, bald eagles, elks, and bighorn sheep. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone. It was such a wonderful experience!
A Must-Do Tour of Yellowstone!

5.00Our winter wildlife tour in Yellowstone National Park was outstanding! Our guide, Maia, was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us spot animals we never would have seen on our own. We saw bison, elk, coyotes to name a few and even heard a distant wolf, all while learning fascinating facts about the park and its ecosystem. The pace of the tour was relaxed, the views were breathtaking, and the experience felt personal and well organized. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yellowstone — it truly made our trip unforgettable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family was in a rear-end accident during this experience

1.00We booked a safari experience with this company during our annual family ski trip, which included transportation to and from the park. While en route, the driver rear-ended a fully stopped vehicle at highway speed. The impact was significant and airbags deployed. My wife and two children (both under 10) were in the vehicle. EMTs evaluated us on scene and, thankfully, everyone ultimately recovered, though there was bruising and soreness following the collision. What was most disappointing was the lack of follow-up or care from the company. We had to initiate contact ourselves days later and never received any meaningful outreach, apology, or effort to ensure our family was okay or to take ownership of the situation. Accidents can happen, but how a company responds matters. I waited several weeks to post this to give them time to do the right thing.
A Must !

5.00Our tour guide, Dalin, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many fascinating insights throughout the experience. Dalin was patient, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure that we truly experienced the beauty and wildlife of Yellowstone. We were especially fortunate to witness wolves that had just hunted a bison—an unforgettable moment. Dalin thoughtfully set up the telescope and made sure we were able to see every detail of the scene. His dedication and enthusiasm made the experience truly exceptional.
Great experience!

5.00It was a wonderful experience! Our guide, Elena, is very knowledgeable and helped us to see many animals. We were able to see a pack of wolves from the telescope; bisons, a coyote, elk, and river otters (which were told is rare).
Family fun

5.00Grant was an excellent guide. Lots of knowledge and patience as we watched a mountain lion protect an elk carcass, find a wolf, see prong horned deer, bison and big horned sheep.
Yellowstone is even better in the winter!

5.00This trip was great! I had been to Yellowstone in the summer, when it is very busy. In January, there were far fewer people. Plus, our guide knew exactly where to go and where to find animals - such as pronghorn sheep, a bald eagle, and two coyotes that I definitely wouldn't have noticed if I had been driving. Did I mention how beautiful the park is when it snows? What a treat. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
