Safety during our safaries

SOME BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR OUR SAFARI GUESTS

- We provide our guests all the necessary equipment and safari outfits, including warm suit, gloves, woolsocks, warm hat and winter boots. For snowmobile safaries you'll get a helmet and mask.

- For summertime rafting You'll be equipped with a rain wear, rubber boots, a helmet and a life jacket. When it's cold we wear a winter suit. We use only approved equipment.

- In addition You should always wear warm underclothing, especially in autumn, winter and spring. When the temperature gets below zero, it's very handy to wear at least two layers of clothing underneath the safari outfit. Then it's easy to take off or add more clothes according to current situation.

- For longer (duration over 3-4 hrs) safaries -especially with snowmobiles- You can also reserve some personal snacks e.g candy bars, chocolate or raisins, and also something to drink, e.g some lemonade or juice. Although longer safaries may include coffee, sandwiches or lunch, it's nice to have little something to grab every now and then.
