ALL-INCLUSIVE WILDLIFE VIEWING PACKAGES
Enjoy wildlife viewing in one of the most spectacular wilderness areas on the continent, in the heart of Canada’s Northern Rockies. Be one with nature as you view the diversity of wildlife and scenery in the remote Muskwa Kechika – the “Serengeti of the North”. Relax at our magnificent lakeside mountain retreat, close to the land of the Midnight Sun. Enjoy a once in a lifetime experience, accessing remote mountain wilderness by floatplane, boat or on foot. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints!
Northern Rockies Lodge is an impressive log building set on the shores of breathtakingly beautiful Muncho Lake and is the ideal “home base” and staging point for these mountain wilderness wildlife viewing safaris. Guests can relax at this magnificent lakeside mountain retreat, close to the land of the Midnight Sun.
All meals included. Each day’s guided wildlife viewing expedition starts with a full hot breakfast at the Lodge. Lunch is usually either a picnic in a spectacular mountain setting, or a shore lunch alongside a remote mountain lake or river. Returning to the lodge in the late afternoon there is usually time to relax before enjoying a delicious 3-course dinner prepared by the Lodge’s Chef.
Observe many species of wildlife. The list of wildlife species that can be viewed in their natural habitats is impressive and includes black bears, moose, caribou, Stone’s sheep, mountain goats, elk, beavers, bald eagles, trumpeter swans, ptarmigan, golden eagles, and loons, among many others. There is even an opportunity to follow the route of the original Alaska Highway (Al-Can Highway), the legendary 1,500-mile engineering marvel carved out of the remote northern wilderness in 1942.
