Romania photo tours
Our tours to Romania were designed to maximize your photography time! These tours are usually a mixture of stalking photography and the use of our superb nature inbuilt hides (hide-boats) during the best periods. Our ’Danube Delta and Dobrudja Bird Photography tour in Spring’ was elaborated to photograph as wide selection of birds as possible while the ’Danube Delta Special’ is a single-based tour which spends the entire time inside the Danube Delta and the photography is mainly taking place from our special photo-boat. We also have a winter tour visiting the wilderness of the delta, a true adventure! In Transylvania we have several tours, some in early spring while others in late spring and also in the early autumn. We use our own bear hide system and some of the tours are combined bird and bear photography! We also have a short extensions available before or after your delta tours which is designed for your to maximze your time if you are already in Romania!
