AN ALASKA BUSH SAFARI!
Although the word “safari” does not usually come to mind when one thinks of Alaska, there are a number of Alaska Bush Safaris which can be an interesting and rewarding experience!
The three-day expedition, which is currently priced at $3750 per person, is a great beginning, and can be extended into the longer tours if you so desire. Beginning and ending in Anchorage, you will see the Harding Ice Field, tide water glaciers, the Cordova fishing village, and the volcanoes of Katmai National Park. The brown bears are plentiful in this area, so be sure to bring your camera!
If you choose the five-day expedition, your trip will also include visits to Lake Clark National Park, Wrangell- St. Elias National Park, the Kodiak Island rainforests, and museums. You will also have the chance to see the area’s active volcanoes. The $5789 per person cost of this expedition includes accomodations at some of Alaska’s best inns and wilderness lodges.
If you wish to extend your trip to the seven-day tour, you will also have two days of personal free time as well as being able to visit the “ghost town” of the Kennecott copper mine and abandoned mines.
If National Parks is your preference, you can have up to five days to explore the area’s national parks, which include the Katmai,which is most well-known for its fish and brown bears; Denali, which extends six million acres; Kenai Fjord, which was established to conserve the natural state of the glaciers, coastal fjords and islands; Wrangell St. Elias, which provides for climbing of its vast mountains and terrain; and Lake Clark, formed primarily to protect the habitats of its wildlife. The National Parks Tour includes viewing of bear and other wildlife, picnic lunches, and lodge accomodations with meals.
Or, if you prefer, you can choose a three-to-five-day fishing trip, custom-designed to your own personal choice. Accompanied by your guide, you can fish for halibut, rainbow trout, arctic char, grayling, and up to five different species of salmon. The fishing trip also includes picnic lunches and nightly lodge accomodations with meals.
All of these exciting adventures are offered by the Alaska Bush Safari Company, who wish to customize each trip to the individual guest’s personal tastes for itineraries and a wealth of activities and adventures, so that you will have the best opportunity to experience all that Alaska has to offer!

The bear viewing trips are unreal! You wouldn’t think you could get so close to a bear but they’re so remote and fat and happy that time of the year that they could care less. It’s really a photographers dream come true. It’s odd you didn’t actually link to their page. http://www.alaskabushsafari.com
