Wildlife Watching Safari
Step into the wild with our guided Wildlife Watching Safari—a truly special way to explore Estonia’s rich natural world. Set in Toosikannu’s 1,000-hectare Red Deer and Wildlife Park (the largest of its kind in the Baltics), this tour brings you face-to-face with some of the country’s most iconic animals.
You'll travel with a knowledgeable guide who’ll share fascinating stories about the park and its wildlife. Even the ride is an adventure—you can choose between a vintage PAZ bus, a rugged GAZ66 army truck, or a more intimate 5-seat UTV.
Expect to see over 500 red deer, roe deer, and a variety of smaller forest animals that are much harder to spot in the wild. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a white-tailed eagle or black stork soaring above. Binoculars and cameras are highly recommended!
After your safari, try a local favourite in our restaurant—moose, venison, or other wild game dishes. And don’t miss the antler workshop, where you can create your own unique souvenir with help from our instructor.
Book your wildlife safari today—real animals, real stories, and memories that last.
