    [description] => 
With an estimated population of 500 Eurasian Lynx, Estonia is a country that can provide a realistic opportunity for mammal-seeking enthusiasts to observe this highly elusive yet enigmatic cat, the Eurasian Lynx. Matsalu National Park and Lahemaa National Park in the north of Estonia will be our base for this 8-day holiday. At Lahemaa we stay in the heart of the park, therefore affording us plentiful opportunities to go on spotlighting sessions in the ancient forests where this incredible feline roams. Sessions during the early morning, early evening, and through the night into the early hours will provide us with the very best chances of locating a Lynx. During the day, when the chance of a lynx encounter is much lower, we hope to find the many birds that reside here, including up to six species of woodpecker. The picturesque capital city of Tallinn, is highly recommended for a cultural extension.

Tell me about Estonia …
Estonia is the smallest and least populous of the three Baltic States which achieved independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991.
A magnificent indented coastline, studded with small islands, borders the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland to the west and north, while Latvia and the Russian Federation comprise Estonia’s neighbours to the south and east respectively.

It is a land of great natural beauty, with a varied landscape which includes over 7,000 rivers, 1,500 lakes and substantial areas of forest and marsh. An admirable 10% of the country is afforded protection within nature reserves that vary in size from the large national parks to the smaller, locally protected, reserves.

Highlights

• A great opportunity to find Eurasian Lynx
• Raccoon Dog and Wild Boar likely
• Possibly up to six species of woodpecker
• Tracking Lynx prints in the fresh snow
• A single-centre holiday
• Vegetarian and vegan options available throughout
• Led by an in-country mammal expert
• In 2024, we secured incredible views of two Lynx

Summary

With an estimated population of 500 Eurasian Lynx, Estonia is a country that can provide a realistic opportunity for mammal-seeking enthusiasts to observe this highly elusive yet enigmatic cat, the Eurasian Lynx. Matsalu National Park and Lahemaa National Park in the north of Estonia will be our base for this 8-day holiday. At Lahemaa we stay in the heart of the park, therefore affording us plentiful opportunities to go on spotlighting sessions in the ancient forests where this incredible feline roams. Sessions during the early morning, early evening, and through the night into the early hours will provide us with the very best chances of locating a Lynx. During the day, when the chance of a lynx encounter is much lower, we hope to find the many birds that reside here, including up to six species of woodpecker. The picturesque capital city of Tallinn, is highly recommended for a cultural extension.

Focus

Mammals, especially the Eurasian Lynx, will be the main focus, but birds will also feature.
