Top 4 Wildlife Trips in Romania

1.Carpathian Wilderness: A Wildlife Experience from Brașov

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 398 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $96Our pick

Join a small-group car ride from Brașov to a secure hide in the Carpathians, escorted by a ranger for brown bear sightings.

“When we got to the hide there was already a bear there! He ran off when he heard us and then about 90 minutes of patient waiting later all of a sudden 3 came at once! It's a wild habitat not a zoo feeding time so be aware you're not guaranteed to see them, but we were lucky to see 5 in total. Ali was really knowledgeable and a great guide and made sure the whole journey was safe and enjoyable.”
