We offer a unique individual tour of our Shelter all year round. Get to know wolves together with an expert in the ecology and behaviour of this species. You will learn everything about the biology, lifestyle and hierarchy of the wolf. Is it true that wolves choose a mate for life? Is it true that wolves live in packs? Is it true that there are many wolves in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone? How do they raise their cubs, how do they figure out relationships, how do they decide who has the right to reproduce or their own area? Where can you meet a wolf in Ukraine, and how can you distinguish their tracks? Who are hybrids, and what is special about them? Why do wolves howl at the moon? No one will tell you more than us.
Our tour is a cosy, soulful walk together with a scientist who will reveal to you the secrets of scientific research and tell incredible stories of encounters in the wild. And observing these animals in a natural enclosure will not leave you indifferent. You will see both a purebred wolf and a hybrid. You will also learn the stories of the wolves we rescued and see the enclosures where bears are being rehabilitated. If you are lucky with the weather, even in winter, there is a chance to see these shaggy giants near their dens.
The tour is conducted by Maryna Shkvyria, a PhD in zoology, author of numerous scientific publications about predators and the popular science book “Predator Chronicles”. Maryna has been studying these mysterious animals in the wild and in captivity for more than 20 years.
The individual excursion “Visiting the Wolves” is only available by prior arrangement.
Since, to implement the individual option, the Shelter staff performs additional work, the minimum cost of a visit is 2000 UAH (equivalent to 10 adult tickets), regardless of the composition of the group. The maximum number of visitors at a time is no more than 10 people.
