WOMEN'S ONLY KATMAI BROWN BEAR TRIP, ALASKA
Dates: July 17 - 22, 2024
Spots: 8 SOLD OUT
Costs: $5500 USD
Leaders: Donna Feledichuk and Jennifer Hadley
Learn everything you ever wanted to about photographing brown bears in the majestic Katmai National Park in the heart of Alaska. From the moment you arrive and meet everyone at the welcome dinner to the second you leave and head back home, we are there to support, mentor and coach you both in and out of the field. These tours are about you! We want you to get the best shots ever and we will help you every step of the way.
Camping in Katmai National Park will allow for a truly immersive experience in which we will have unprecedented access to numerous brown bears throughout the day. In July bears are eating the sedge grasses and tend to be in the meadows from early morning to late evening. Bears are heavily concentrated in this area and our experienced bear guide is an established wildlife photographer and will ensure we will be in the best positions to take stunning photos. Accessible only by float plane, Katmai NP offers panoramic views that make for gorgeous photos and camping allows for continued viewing opportunities long after the last plane has left for the day.
