With less than 2 days in Jackson, my kids and I were looking to make the most of our stay and have an opportunity to see some of the abundant wildlife that graces this beautiful park. I read the reviews of Jackson Hole Wildlife Safari and, with fingers crossed, left a message on their after hours answering machine hoping that there would be availability on a tour the next day. I heard back from them promptly the next morning and we were easily scheduled for an afternoon 4 hour tour. Out tour guide Ash Tallmadge, a native of the area, promptly picked us up from our hotel in a clean and spacious van. Binoculars, beverage, and snacks were provided. The tour was nothing short off perfect! 5 stars all the way!!! Ash was simply wonderful!! Personable, passionate, and incredibly versed in all aspects of the park...from the wildlife to the history. Her academic background in ecology allowed her to explain things with clarity and confidence and her true love of the area and dedication to its preservation gave soul to what could otherwise could have simply been 'a tour'. We also appreciated her tireless patience with our constant questions. Her knowledge of the area allowed us to see elk, red tailed hawk, trumpet swans, big horned sheep, bison, and moose. The super powerful telescope that she would set up at various spots allowed us to see some of the more distant animals up close as well as capture great pictures through the lens. It was a fabulous day, well worth the money. Thank you Ash!!
