Bears & Kingfishers
SlovenianBears.com offers a unique 4-day Bears & Kingfishers Package for a limited number of dates during the 2026 season!
Experience the best of Slovenian wildlife photography with a package designed for photographers who want to combine spectacular brown bear photography with the vibrant colours and fast action of the common kingfisher.
The package includes three afternoon sessions in professionally designed bear hides, offering excellent opportunities to photograph Europe’s largest predator in its natural habitat. During the mornings, you’ll enjoy two photography sessions in our dedicated Kingfisher Hide, where you can capture the kingfisher at close range.
The schedule has been carefully planned to maximise photographic opportunities. Afternoons provide the warm, golden light that creates the perfect atmosphere for dramatic bear images, while the calm morning hours offer the best conditions for photographing kingfishers and other bird species as they visit the hide.
This package is the perfect combination for wildlife photographers looking to capture two of Slovenia’s most iconic species in a single trip. Whether you are aiming for breathtaking bear portraits or the incredible speed and colours of the kingfisher, this tour offers an unforgettable photography experience in the heart of Slovenia’s pristine nature.
