Important information
The safety of our guests is our priority. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with strong temperature differences. Whilst we strive to follow our routes as closely as possible, we reserve the right to change the order of activities, the route of the safaris and the duration of the excursions should the needs of the group or the animals require it.
