    At Shirvan National Park, travelers will enjoy a guided safari through Azerbaijan’s semi-desert ecosystem, traveling in a park-approved vehicle with a professional local guide or park staff. The experience includes observing Goitered Gazelles in their natural habitat — often visible from as close as 5 to 10 meters. The park is also known for its diverse birdlife, especially around wetland areas where binoculars are provided for birdwatching. Along the route, travelers will learn about the park’s wildlife, vegetation, and the conservation efforts supported by WWF, IDEA, and national environmental programs.

    Travelers will be welcomed into a local countryside home near Shirvan National Park, where a traditional Azerbaijani lunch will be served using fresh, organic ingredients grown in the family’s own garden. The meal typically includes dishes like dolma, pilaf, tandir bread, local salads, and homemade jams, followed by tea. After lunch, guests can enjoy a walk through the property’s grape garden, where they may touch, taste, and — depending on the season — harvest grapes or other fruits. This stop offers a peaceful, authentic experience of rural life and supports the local family directly.
