Overview

The muskoxen are unique, prehistoric animals, and you can only find them a few places in the world. One of those places is Dovrefjell, a beautiful National Park in Norway.

Together with our experienced guides, it is almost 100% certain that you will see this majestic animal during our safari. In addition, our guides will share their knowledge about other wildlife in the area, as well as the local history and culture.

Dovrefjell has a rich ecosystem, and there are good chances to spot other widlife such as eagles, ptarmigan or even wild reindeer.

Itinerary

During this safari, you will hike with our local guides in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park to look for muskox.

The muskox live in the mountains, so for this hike, you'll need waterproof hiking shoes and wind-/waterproof clothing. The weather can change fast in the mountains, so bring multiple layers of clothing.

This safari generally lasts 5-6 hours, depending on where the animals are, weather, group fitness etc. We'll have a lunch break, so you need to bring your lunch, something to drink and perhaps a snack.

The animals move freely in the national park, which makes it impossible to know how every day will be. Guests need a moderate fitness level, as hikes can be between 7 and 15 km in total, with elevation along the way.

The muskoxen are wild animals and need to be respected. We therefore keep the advised safety distance of 200 m. Our guide has a telescope for everyone to use, but if you have binoculars we definitely recommend bringing them!

Great tour and we saw many musk ox! Our guide Rune was very experienced and knowledgable, explaining interesting backgrounds and history of Norway, the national park and the animals. There was also a possibility to be picked up for a fee which helped us a lot as we were staying in Dombås.

Very fun hike over the beautiful tundra. guide Johannes was outstanding with deep knowledge of the musk oxen and their habitat. Most importantly we found a small group of musk oxen to observe. Recommended!
