When people hear the words “Safari Holiday” they often think about going to the outback, driving through a desert or jungle on the look out some of the big five such as elephants, tigers and lions. But how about doing something a little different but that can offer the same amount of adventure such as a husky safari holiday. Unlike your usually summer safari in South Africa, a husky safari is done during the winter months, depending on where you want to go and when there is snow on the ground (or all year round if the climate is cold enough in places such as Lapland.
The Arctic is by far the best place to go on a husky safari trip, where you can experience the thrill of being pulled through the magnificent snows capes by your very own teams of dogs. While sitting in the sled you can enjoy a beautiful scenery and the thrill of speed!
You can expect to earn about “mushing”, what the dogs eat, where and how they sleep and their pack mentality. You will usually also meet the local people that train and look after the dogs on a daily basis and see them in action. You will also get the chance to ride on the sleigh pulled by the huskies and experience the true power of these beautiful animals.
Whilst on the sleigh ride you will be able to take in some of the most breath taking sights you will have ever seen.
