The autumn period on the remote tundra of Canada's far North briefly offers one of the most spectacular displays of nature known to humankind... |
|
|
|
Migrating caribou - in singles and small groups graze and roam the forever-reaching & rolling landscape...
|
|
|
Often on clear nights the aurora borealis dance and weave intricate patterns across the skies... The clarity of the atmosphere here offers a rare glimpse of raw wilderness afforded only to a lucky few - and the time of season offers a very special period that represents nature's power in a truly magical way... |
|
As the low-bush bearberry & cranberry turn fire red, and the dwarf birch and willows evolve to displays of brilliant orange, yellows and gold, the riot of autumn colours are near blinding!

About the 'Caribou, Autumn Colours & Aurora' Expeditions: Far and away our most popular wildlife trip, join us this early autumn at a comfortable un-guided but catered photo camp trip at the remote mainland sub-Arctic region of northern Canada.
|
 |
|
Depending on where the animals are from season to season, and the locale from where we are operating to best access the caribou, we will start this unique wildllife adventure by boarding a charter aircraft at of our access northern settlement, and embark on a 100-250 km journey to the remote sub-Arctic tundra known locally as the 'Barrenlands'. We will then land at our remote wildlife camp - uniquely situated at one of the most isolated regions in mainland North America!
|
|
Once at the wildlife camp, we typically offer comfortable & catered tent-camp accommodations including private sleeping tents, dining & shower facilities. Depending on the site, we also provide an array of equipment on site such as boats and camping equipment to enhance the expeditions; to explore new areas and to seek other dens & wildlife. Occassionally when the situation demands it, we set up ground tent 'spike camps' to maximize wildlife viewing.
|
|
|
|
As our photo camps are often set up nearby active wildlife water crossing for caribou and musk-oxen, often times such animals are seen right in the camp yard. Sometimes caribou stay around for days and even weeks at a time - and these characters are affectionately known as 'yardboo'!
|
|
Depending on the site, we also offer an array of equipment on site such as boats & motors, canoes & kayaks and quality camping equipment, to enhance the expeditions and to seek out wildlife. On occasion, we set up and offer ground tent 'spike camps' to maximize wildlife viewing, and to explore new areas.
|
 |
|
We offer a one-week trip on the 'Caribou Autumn Colours & Aurora' expeditions, with the option to extend to a two-week trip at a reduced rate. Once at the camp, we offer a choice self-guied programs that include wildlife exposure, native & natural history, and archaeology. |

So come join us to experience true immersion with the late summer & early autumn mixing period of the barren-ground caribou cows, calves and bulls of the herds. These are the largest and least human-influenced of the Canadian herds. Participants will likely encounter a steady source of singles and small groups of grazing caribou nearly every day during the 'mixing' period leading up to the mating period and southbound migration.
|
|
|
Often other wild animals will grace us with their presence on the autumn Caribou' trips, including sic-sics, fox, moose, black bear, and occasionally - even wolverine!
|
|
|
The tundra is hauntingly beautiful in the autumn...
|
|
|
|
And the sunsets & northern lights - well - they are truly amazing up here!
|
Incredible northern lights, intense autumn colours, an abundance of Arctic animals and
bird life
in a bustle of activity
all preparing
for
mating & the oncoming winter
truly makes
this trip a
photographers & naturalists
paradise!
