Best of Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari Tour

Overview

Thousands of mule deer, elk, moose, big horn sheep and bison migrate into the valley in search of food each year along with coyotes, fox, bald and golden eagles, swans, and even packs of wolves. This gathering of wintering wildlife makes winter one of the best times to view wildlife in Jackson Hole!

After a full morning in the field we will enjoy lunch together at a local eatery before heading back out for the afternoon. When available, we will take a horse drawn sleigh through the National Elk Refuge into the middle of the largest wild elk herd in North America. Following the sleigh ride, we will head back into the field to spot more wildlife.

**Sleigh rides are optional.

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Jody, Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari's. What an amazing experience. We truly could not have had a better trip! He picked us up at our hotel and there was not a dull moment for the entire day. Jody is not only a lot of fun but extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. We saw so much beautiful wildlife; moose, elk, bison, a beautiful cross fox, a coyote, a golden eagle, the amazingly beautiful Gros Ventre wolves, big horn sheep, and trumpeter swans. The wagon ride through the elk refuge was great as well! We highly recommend The Best of Jackson experience and will definitely be back to do it again. Thank you Jody!

Although we did not sign up for a private tour, we got one! We had our highly experienced guide Dave all to ourselves for a full day of wildlife viewing. Dave took us to some perfect spots and we were rewarded with some amazing views as well as plenty of elk, bison, big-horned sheep and beautiful sharp-tailed grouse, as well as a coyote, some shy mule deer and even MOOSE! What a thrill. Finished the day with a horse-drawn sleigh ride at the National Elk Refuge and enjoyed some close encounters with the draft horses, the elk herd, and a very photogenic bald eagle. Fantastic tour.

My husband and I recently had the good fortune to spend a day with Jodi from Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari. We had a spectacular day! First and foremost, Jodi was a wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable guide, a terrific guy with whom to pass the day. We had great luck spotting all kinds of wildlife in the Gros Ventre...coyote, moose, elk, bison, big horn sheep and wolves. We were very lucky with a beautiful blue bird sky, so Jodi made sure to take us to great spots to photograph the Tetons. We had a delicious lunch at the National Museum of Wildlife Art where we saw some amazing paintings and sculptures. We also went out on the National Elk Refuge where we got great shots of the bull elks. We hope to return someday and have Jodi help us find some grizzly bears!! Thanks Jodi! You are awesome at what you do and we are very lucky to have spent our time with you in Jackson Hole.
