Leave paved roads behind on a dedicated 4x4 off-road safari from Tbilisi designed for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and landscape photographers. This trip explores the quiet semi-desert plains and wetland ecosystems of southeastern Georgia near the Azerbaijan border, far from standard tourist routes.
Travel across rugged dirt tracks in a capable 4WD vehicle with an experienced local driver. Explore the reedbeds and open shores of Kumisi Lake and Lake Jandara to spot seasonal migratory waterfowl, herons, and marsh turtles. Continue across the arid steppe toward the remote settlement of Udabno and the mineral-striped hills of the Rainbow Mountains, with ample unhurried time for walking, wildlife spotting, and panoramic photography.
