What To Expect

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park West Entrance Gate Your exact route and itinerary will be determined by your interests, current wildlife sightings, and current weather and road conditions. Our guides are all highly experienced, with thousands of hours in the field, and will expertly tailor your safari to you and your group. Summer is construction season in Yellowstone National Park and sometimes this can impact our tours. Please communicate to your guide what you most wish to see in the park and your guide will do their best to navigate road closures, traffic slowdowns, and construction wait times.

Firehole River

The Firehole River is surrounded by geothermal features, which heat the water flowing in, effectively increasing the average water temperature of the river. Despite the high mineral content from the geothermal heated waters, the Firehole River supports robust aquatic life, including brown trout and rainbow trout.

Fountain Paint Pot

Fountain Paint Pot, located in the Lower Geyser Basin, is a mud pot most recognized for the reds, yellows and browns that can be seen in the soil. The colors represent varying levels of iron oxidation in the mud. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is only one of the roughly 500 geysers in Yellowstone National Park, but it is the predictability of eruptions that earned this geyser its name. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake is a fascinating geological wonder. Geologists have discovered underwater geysers, hot springs and fumaroles. The lake itself sits on a bed of constantly shifting geologic activity. The mineral rich deposits in the water support a vibrant ecosystem of plant and animal life. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Hayden Valley

The Hayden Valley is located in central Yellowstone National Park and is home to an abundance of wildlife. The valley floor was once the lakebed of Yellowstone Lake, but is now home to streams, grassy plains and geothermal features. Our safari makes several stops here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

At a depth of more than 1000ft (305m), the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is an impressive sight. Water, wind, earthquakes and hydrothermal features have all worked together to form this area. Two waterfalls are visible from multiple vantage points, Upper Falls and Lower Falls. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Upper Falls

As the Yellowstone River flows north out of the Hayden Valley, it flows over the Upper Falls, before continuing on to the Lower Falls. These two falls highlight distinct geological differences found in the layers of canyon rock.

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

The first photographic depictions of the Lower Falls were made in 1871 during the Hayden Expedition, although Native American tribes have known about the falls for centuries. Cascading roughly 308ft (94m) over volcanic rock, the falls are an impressive sight from several vantage points. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.
