Moose & Wildlife Safari Stockholm
Meet animals on this moose & wildlife safari in Stockholm! Animals such as the king of the forest (moose), roe deer, fallow deer, wild boar, foxes, birds of prey and more. Expect campfire dinner, tracking wildlife on a hike, and visiting hotspots by van where we often see moose and other wildlife. Our guides keep track of the movement of the animals so we know just where to find them! On every wildlife safari we have seen at least 2 out of the 3 focus animals (moose, deer, boar) but usually we get to see all three. Did you know that we have seen moose on over 95% of our safaris?!

When is best for wildlife watching in Stockholm?
Each part of the wildlife season is different. Here we divide up the season, focused on the behavior of moose.
Early season (May): last year's calves get rejected, which makes them confused. Often they roam around in the open, which offers for great daylight sightings.
Mid season (June - early August): due to the long days, most sightings happen in good light, even though moose can be a bit trickier to find during hot days.
Late season (early August - mid September): that's when we see big antlers! As days get shorter and evenings darker, many sightings happen in dusk. We use torches to spot animals when it gets too dark.
