Yellowstone Wildlife Tours
A Yellowstone Wildlife Tour is a great way to see bears, wolves, and the other animals of Yellowstone National Park. Explore Yellowstone with a professional guide.
Yellowstone National Park is home to the greatest display of wildlife in North America. Large mammals like bears, wolves, bison, elk, and moose all call Yellowstone home. Our wildlife safaris are designed to see and observe the animals of Yellowstone in their pristine and natural habitat. Listen to wolves howling, elk bugling, bison snorting and the screech of a bald eagle soaring over head, these are all some of the sounds and sights of Yellowstone. Join us and watch nature in the grandest of landscapes.
Best Places to See Wildlife in Yellowstone
Lamar Valley
The Lamar Valley is widely regarded as the best place to see wildlife in Yellowstone National Park thanks to its vast open meadows, meandering river, and rich biodiversity. Often referred to as “America’s Serengeti,” this northeastern region of the park is home to some of Yellowstone’s most iconic animals, including bison, elk, bears, wolves, and coyotes. Its relatively low tree cover and wide sightlines make spotting wildlife easier than in other parts of the park, especially during the early morning and evening hours. Whether you’re a seasoned wildlife photographer or a first-time visitor, the Lamar Valley offers some of the most rewarding and unforgettable animal encounters in the park, which is why we offer our Lamar Valley Tours.
Hayden Valley
Hayden Valley is another premier destination for wildlife viewing in Yellowstone National Park, offering a breathtaking blend of sweeping grasslands, winding rivers, and geothermal features. Located in the heart of the park, this lush valley is a favorite feeding ground for bison and elk, and it’s not uncommon to spot grizzly bears and wolves, especially during the early morning or late evening hours. The Yellowstone River cuts through the valley, attracting a variety of birds, including bald eagles, sandhill cranes, and waterfowl. With its dramatic landscapes and abundance of wildlife, Hayden Valley provides visitors with a truly immersive Yellowstone experience.
Yellowstone Wildlife safari Itinerary
| Tour Notes and Itinerary - The wildlife tours start early to take advantage of the morning animal movement and activity. Morning is the best time to see wildlife in the park, especially bears and wolves. Tours focus on the wildlife hot spots in Yellowstone like the Lamar Valley, Hayden Valley, "Little America", Slough Creek, Lake area, and points along the northern range ecosystem. Wildlife is constantly moving through the park and we know where to find them. The specific area of focus often depends on lodging and the season. |

Enjoy the other animals of Yellowstone too! The park is home to large herds of bison, elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and other ungulates. See bison rutting in the Hayden Valley, watch mountain goats scale the tall peaks of the northeast corner, or listen to elk bugle in the fall. Your guide will help interpret and explain the animal's behavior, keeping you informed of the wildlife process taking place. All the staff is local, knowledgeable, and passionate about Yellowstone.

"Yellowstone is a special place with a lot to see in a vast area. We met Chris early one morning and set off to see wildlife in Lamar Valley. We were not disappointed. Sights included: buffalo, wolves, coyotes, a bighorn sheep, pronghorn, a grizzly sow with a cub, and more. I was impressed with Chris' friendly style and genuine desire for us to have a good time and see as much as we could. It was money well spent as we saw more than would have just aimlessly wondering on our own. I highly recommend Chris for his professionalism, friendly manner, knowledge and work ethic."
