What To Expect

Paradise Valley

Paradise Valley runs north-south, bordered on the north by the town of Livingston, MT and on the south by Gardiner, MT. The valley lies between the Gallatin Range to the west and the Absaroka Range to the east. It is also a major corridor of the Yellowstone River and is home to diverse flora and fauna as well as geological wonders. Our safari makes a stop here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Mammoth Hot Springs

Mammoth Hot Springs is a collection of thermal features at the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is best known for the travertine terraces that form from mineral deposits, but there are many other observable geothermal features in this area. The algae living in the pools creates the distinct brownish, reddish colors. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Petrified Tree

A petrified redwood seems out of place in present day Yellowstone National Park, but millions of years ago, this area looked much different. Petrified trees, such as this are a natural relic of a volcanic past. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Tower Fall

This picturesque waterfall in the northern region of Yellowstone National Park is named for the rock pinnacles at the brink of the falls. Years of erosion is actually moving the falls slowly upriver, although not fast enough to see it migrate in your lifetime. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

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.

Slough Creek

Slough Creek is a tributary of the Lamar River and originates in the Absaroka Range. The watershed supports a variety of flora and fauna. Our wildlife safari makes multiple stops in the Slough Creek area to track and spot wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Lamar Valley

The Lamar Valley is located in the northeastern region of Yellowstone National Park and is well known for its natural beauty, flora and fauna. Such an abundance of wildlife exists here that it has been dubbed "the Serengeti of North America". Our safari makes several stops here in search of wildlife. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Albright Visitor Center and Museum

The Albright Visitor Center, located in the northern region of Yellowstone, is housed in a historic structure that originally served as quarters for cavalry troops charged with protection of the park prior to the creation of the National Park Service. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

Roosevelt Arch

The Roosevelt Arch, built in 1903, is constructed of hexagonal blocks of columnar basalt and stands 52ft (16m) high. The arch stands at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, MT. The original conception was to provide a grand entrance to the world's first National Park but subsequent features were never installed and the official park entrance was relocated south of Gardiner. The arch itself remains standing and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our safari makes a stop here. Your guide will educate you on the historical or geological significance of your stop.

We had such a great experience with Yellowstone Safari Co! Our guide Gary V. was awesome. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of the park and its ecosystem. His background in rangering was really fun to hear about as well. We lucked out with perfect weather and got to see so many animals. The highlights for us were a black bear and her cubs, wolves and their pups, and all the baby bison. The binoculars and scopes were super helpful to get better views of the animals from afar. Even the provided picnic lunch was delicious. At the end of our tour after being dropped off at our hotel I realized my phone fell out of my backpack and got left in the tour van. I called the office line and left a message fully expecting to not hear back until the next day since it was past normal office hours. However I received a call back within the hour and Gary graciously came back by the hotel to drop my phone off with the front desk. Great customer service!

I can’t say enough god things about this tour with guide Grant. I have back and knee problems and I don’t think I missed a thing. He accommodated me and made sure I was fine with each and every activity. All the scope and binoculars were provided. He set up each scope and tripod and focused everything. He made sure the teenage grandchildren were kept busy looking or being involved with information about he park and inhabitants. I honestly don’t know a question he didn’t know the answer to. He found out my husband and I were interested in birds. He found harlequin ducks and a red tail nest with young which I have never seen. He found black bears with Cubs, grizzly bear, Fox, badger, coyotes etc. some at quite a distance I have no. Idea how he found them. Without his expertise I am certain we would never have noticed them. Our son, grandchildren and us ad a wow derful time..

Even though it was a cold, rainy/snowy day, my husband and I saw all kinds of wildlife, including bears, a wolf, elk, bison with calves, and a variety of birds of prey. We were skeptical about going out on such a day, but our efforts and persistence were well worth it! We were so well taken care of with warm drinks, delicious meals and snacks, spotting scopes, binoculars, and great conversation. Our guide, Gary, a genuine caring & compassionate retired forestry service guy with a degree in geology added so much to the day beyond the wildlife aspects of Yellowstone NP. One thing that impressed us a lot is the genuine love, caring, and understanding that the Yellowstone Wildlife Safari staff have for the entire Yellowstone environment. Booking this experience definitely enhanced our entire week in Yellowstone, and we would absolutely do it again if we have a chance to visit the area again.
