What To Expect

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park East Entrance Your exact route and itinerary will be determined by your interests, current wildlife sightings, and current weather and road conditions. Our guides are all highly experienced, with thousands of hours in the field, and will expertly tailor your safari to you and your group. Summer is construction season in Yellowstone National Park and sometimes this can impact our tours. Please communicate to your guide what you most wish to see in the park and your guide will do their best to navigate road closures, traffic slowdowns, and construction wait times.

Hayden Valley

The Hayden Valley is located in central Yellowstone National Park and is home to an abundance of wildlife. The valley floor was once the lakebed of Yellowstone Lake, but is now home to streams, grassy plains and geothermal features. Our safari makes several stops here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

At a depth of more than 1000ft (305m), the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is an impressive sight. Water, wind, earthquakes and hydrothermal features have all worked together to form this area. Two waterfalls are visible from multiple vantage points, Upper Falls and Lower Falls. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Grand Prismatic Spring

Grand Prismatic Spring is located in the Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. The third largest hot spring in the world is most well known for the rainbow effect that the microbial mats create, producing reds, oranges, yellows and greens around the edges of the spring. The blue center is the result of sterile water at great depth appearing blue to the eye. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Artist Point

Incorrectly named as the vantage point for Thomas Moran's famous waterfall sketches, the name Artist Point remains to this day. Located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, this point provides classic views of Lower Falls on the Yellowstone River. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Lower Yellowstone River Falls

The first photographic depictions of the Lower Falls were made in 1871 during the Hayden Expedition, although Native American tribes have known about the falls for centuries. Cascading roughly 308ft (94m) over volcanic rock, the falls are an impressive sight from several vantage points. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Fountain Paint Pot

Fountain Paint Pot, located in the Lower Geyser Basin, is a mud pot most recognized for the reds, yellows and browns that can be seen in the soil. The colors represent varying levels of iron oxidation in the mud. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Old Faithful

Old Faithful is only one of the roughly 500 geysers in Yellowstone National Park, but it is the predictability of eruptions that earned this geyser its name. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Shoshone River

Shoshone Canyon is a gorge cut through Rattlesnake Mountain by the wearing action of the Shoshone River. The Shoshone River runs from the Buffalo Bill Dam through an awesome canyon bordered by Cedar and Rattlesnake Mountains through Cody, Wyoming, and ultimately draining into Yellowtail Reservoir (fed primarily by the Bighorn River).

Yellowstone River

The Yellowstone River originates in the Absaroka Range at the Continental Divide and flows north through Yellowstone National Park and Paradise Valley before heading east across the plains of Montana and eventually flowing into the Missouri River. It is a large-volume river, fed by several tributaries on its journey eastward. The river provides habitat for many species in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and is known for its excellent trout population. Our safari makes a stop here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Our guide Elena picked us up from our hotel in Cody right at 6:00 a.m. We ended up being the only two for her tour that day!! I am a very nervous rider up in the mountains on the curvy, narrow roads and I wanted my husband to enjoy the experience without worrying about driving. Elena was a very cautious and attentive driver along with sharing a wealth of knowledge about the park, the inhabitants and the environment within the park. We were lucky enough within an hour of being in the park to see a momma Grizzly and her cub, bison and deer. She pointed out many rare birds that had we been on our own we wouldn’t have seen. Elena provided a delicious lunch, snacks throughout the day and plenty of water. She also provided binoculars and had scopes for us to use. And she videoed the grizzly and the black bear that we saw and air dropped the videos to me so we can show our family and friends. We highly recommend this tour!
