Our Russia trips are focused mainly on Siberia, in central and east Russia. Siberia is the largest region of Russia and is home to a diverse range of mammal and bird species, including the iconic Siberian tiger and numerous bird species, such as the Siberian crane, Steller’s Sea-Eagle, Ross’s Gull and Yellow-billed Diver. It is a dream destination, especially for western birders who like to get familiar with the Siberian vagrants that sometimes reach Europe or the USA. Siberia offers some world’s most spectacular natural scenery and wildlife sightings.

Besides its natural beauty, Siberia is also rich in traditions and culture. The region is home to a diverse group of indigenous people, such as the Yakuts, Evenks, and Chukchis, who have preserved their unique way of life and customs for generations. Visitors to Siberia can experience firsthand the hospitality and warmth of these communities and their traditional art, music, and dance.

In summary, Siberia offers a wealth of opportunities for mammal and birding travel and a unique cultural and historical experience. Suppose you’re looking for a destination off the beaten path that offers a truly authentic experience. In that case, Siberia should be at the top of your list.
