What you can expect

  • Become a citizen scientist for a day. This is not a typical hike - it's a hands-on wildlife tracking expedition in the wilderness around Sofia.

    Led by a professional zoologist, you'll learn to read the hidden stories written in the forest floor. Every footprint, scratch mark, and dropping tells a story about the animals that passed through.

    What you'll learn:

    Identify tracks and signs of wolves, deer, wild boar, foxes, and bears

    Read feeding signs and scratching trees

    Measure and document findings using field tools

    Record observations for real conservation databases

    Depending on the season and group interest, you may also set up a trail camera or learn how conservationists use tracking data to protect wildlife.

    The expedition takes place in the forests and mountains around Sofia - areas known for their rich wildlife populations. Your zoologist guide has years of field experience and will share their knowledge of animal behaviour, ecology, and conservation.

    This is an active, educational day in the wilderness. Suitable for beginners - no prior experience needed, just curiosity and comfortable shoes.

    Small groups (max 6 people) ensure personal attention and a deeper connection to the land. Transport from Sofia, tracking tools, and a picnic lunch are all included.

    Perfect for: Nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone who wants to experience the wilderness in a meaningful way.
