Want to see those incredible wild animals that inhabit Swedish nature?

True Nature Sweden brings you to Stockholm forest right next to the city. The wildlife is roaming freely and we are going to see them thanks to our wildlife safari expert guide.

What about going back home with the experience of Swedish culture in Stockholm city but also having seen the wildlife in its natural habitat?

You are in Stockholm for a long weekend and would like to get a larger experience of what Sweden has to offer. You know that we have majestic animals in our wilderness and you would like to get the chance to see these creatures in real life. Well, we got it all ready for you. We propose this great safari that will give you the chance to spot many different animals iconic to Swedish wild nature.

In the evening when the forest is starting to get mystical, comes the time for us to go out there. Indeed the wildlife is very often coming out from dusk to dawn. That’s when we bring you into nature, to observe the wildlife.

We will meet at our office (Ystadsvägen 18, 121 49 Johanneshov) and drive the minivan together from there. Please check the start times on the left side of the page, which changes according to the month!!

We will start by minivan through an area where we can see if any animal is waiting for us. We’ll continue walking in the forest, around a lake where we know that there's great animal activity. We will have plenty of time to get the chance to see Swedish iconic wildlife and have a filling dinner.

During the tour, we will have time to talk about the different animals one can encounter in Sweden while in nature, their behavior, their habits, what they eat, how and where to spot them, and much more. Bring your questions along. We will have a break for dinner before scouting the forest again. Cold dinner will be provided. In winter we will provide a Swedish Fika and coffee, or hot chocolate. As we are starting earlier to be able to catch the dawn, we are then outside of dinner time, we, therefore, serve you a Swedish Fika: pastries and hot drinks.

Here is a list of what exists mostly in our forests

• Moose or elk is the very iconic animal of Sweden and we are always doing our best to spot them during our tours.

• The beaver: this shy and silent animal is rare to spot but can be encountered around water points.

• The wolf: no worries they’ll see you but you’ll never see them.

• The lynx: they are outnumbered unfortunately and they live more towards the center of Sweden. They are probably the hardest animal to spot. Fantastic hunter.

• The bear: we couldn’t mention it. Well we will talk about it but they don’t live in the Stockholm region, so no worries, no encounter possible.

• Roe Deer are probably the most common to see and we will spot them grazing in herds on grassland.

• Fallow deer is a magnificent deer slightly bigger than the roe deer but having white dots on the fur. Hope we’ll see them.

• Sea eagle: Can be spotted sometime over the forest as the sea is never far.

• Woodpecker. So much to say about them, I’ll let you discover.

• Reindeer and wolverine: Those ones are very Nordic animals, they like cold, snow, and high land for the wolverine. No chance to spot them.

• There are many other animals to talk about like the crow, hare, grouse, ant nest, grey owl, wild boar, and many more that we will talk about during the safari.

Disclaimers

Animals in the wilderness are hardly predictable. We do everything we can and use our expertise to spot them but we can not guarantee to see all the animals as we don’t feed or attract them in any way!

This experience requires a minimum of 2 people. If it’s cancelled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll be offered a different date/experience or a full refund.

We’re following closely the government regulations regarding fire bans, we might have to skip making a fire, if a fire ban is in place. Nature goes first before fun! We won't cancel your tour because of a fire ban!
