Riding Mountain National ParkRiding Mountain National Park is about three hours from Winnipeg by road. It is a vibrant wilderness oasis set high above three prairies in a landscape of rolling aspen and spruce forests, wildfl ower-fi lled meadows, crystal-clear streams and a profusion of lakes and wetlands. Large mammals are considered relatively easy to observe here, with some of the world's largest black bears and highest population densities of bears, plus moose, elk and beaver. In addition, the wildlife of the area includes bison, beaver, coyote and wolf, and birdwatchers will be treated to over 260 species of birds. Riding Mountain Guest Ranch MID Riding Mountain Guest Ranch is on a private nature reserve, near Riding Mountain National Park. The ranch is run by a wildlife biologist, who offers daily wildlife safaris in the park, and bear viewing from a hide on the ranch. You can be assured of a friendly welcome... and delicious home-cooked meals at the end of a hard day's viewing! Riding Mountain makes an ideal add-on to one of our polar bear holidays. Male black bears are often seen here until the beginning of November, so you can see two species in one holiday.116ITINERARYDay 1 Depart London for Winnipeg (via Toronto) and transfer to the graceful Hotel Fort Garry for your fi rst night's accommodation (D) Day 2 Fly to Churchill, and spend fi ve days with specialist photographers taking photos of polar bears and this unique landscape from your Tundra Lodge base (BLD) Day 7 Return to Winnipeg and your original base at Hotel Fort Garry (BL) Day 8 Depart for the UK (B) Day 9 Arrive homeDeparture dates Wed 16 Nov - Thu 24 Nov 11Flight inclusive cost per person From £5715Land only cost per person From £4665Single room supplement From £220What's included Flights (fl ight inclusive package only), transfers, meals as indicated, two nights hotel accommodation and four nights in the Tundra LodgeTour code WCPAMax group size 28POLAR BEAR PHOTO ADVENTUREHighlights.
