The muskoxen are unique, prehistoric animals, and you can only find them a few places in the world. One of those places is Dovrefjell, a beautiful National Park in Norway.
Together with our experienced guides, it is almost 100% certain that you will see this majestic animal during our safari. In addition, our guides will share their knowledge about other wildlife in the area, as well as the local history and culture.
Dovrefjell has a rich ecosystem, and there are good chances to spot other widlife such as eagles, ptarmigan or even wild reindeer.
What's Included

What to expect
The muskox live in the mountains, so for this hike, you'll need waterproof hiking shoes and wind-/waterproof clothing. The weather can change fast in the mountains, so bring multiple layers of clothing.
This safari generally lasts 5-6 hours, depending on where the animals are, weather, group fitness etc. We'll have a lunch break, so you need to bring your lunch, something to drink and perhaps a snack.
The animals move freely in the national park, which makes it impossible to know how every day will be. Guests need a moderate fitness level, as hikes can be between 7 and 15 km in total, with elevation along the way.
The muskoxen are wild animals and need to be respected. We therefore keep the advised safety distance of 200 m. Our guide has a telescope for everyone to use, but if you have binoculars we definitely recommend bringing them!
