Wildlife Worldwide cuts the price of Polar Bear trips

If you have enjoyed watching Gordon Buchanan’s recent BBC TV series ‘The Bear Family & Me’ then take advantage of a special offer from Wildlife Worldwide who have cut a huge £650 per person off the price of four of its small-group trips to Canada this autumn to spot the awesome Polar Bear.

The Polar Bear is the world's largest land carnivore and also the largest bear, with adult males weighing in at around 350–680 kg (770–1,500 lb.), while an adult female is about half that size.

Although closely related to the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrow ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet.

Wildlife Worldwide offers a choice of trips, all of which focus on the town of Churchill, which is the 'Polar Bear Capital of the World' and the only human settlement where polar bears can be observed in the wild - it lies right in the bears' migratory path.

The most popular itinerary is the 7-day Classic Polar Bears trip which includes three days’ Polar Bear viewing from a specially designed Tundra vehicle and evening presentations from wildlife experts. There is also a strong likelihood of witnessing the amazing Northern Lights during the holiday.

The trip departs on 12 October and now costs from £3585 per person (two sharing) (alternative, similar departures available on 19 and 20 October). The price includes international and domestic flights, all transportation, bear viewing activities as detailed in itinerary, 5-nights’ accommodation, most meals and expert guides with evening presentations/lectures.

Other Polar Bear trips from Wildlife Worldwide include:

Tundra Lodge Adventure – 7 days from £4825 pp (11-18 October)

8-Day Classic Polar Bear Expedition – from £3870 pp (15 October)

To qualify for the reduced prices, trips must be booked by 1 May. All trips can be purchased ‘land only’ for those who would rather source their own flights.
