Moose safari in Nordland

Join us for a moose safari in Bodø and experience the thrill of a close meeting with the moose; the largest land animal in Europe! We head out to areas where there is a good chance to see the moose grazing. June, July and August are the prime months in which moose are seen practically every trip.Our guarantee to you is: No moose seen, no pay ! The trips take place during the evening or night and are arranged on demand.

The Mooses are quite shy and are easily scared back into the woods, but normally they are quite co-operative and allow us to get quite near. A safari could be done by everyone, normally we do not need to walk at all; they could be seen from the car or bus.

The moose is called Elg in Norwegian, but the moose is not comparable with the american elk. The elk (cervus canadensis) , however, is an entirely different deer (much smaller). The moose is Europes largest land animal, also the largest member in the deer family. A fully grown bull are over 2 meters high at the shoulders and weighs up to 750 kg (1650 lb). Cows seldom weighs more than 470 kg (1035 lb).
