A wonderful way to experience the stunning mountain scenery
Accompany one of our guides on a fascinating tour of Balmoral Estate. The safari tour takes you through the manicured parkland and gardens in front of Balmoral Castle. You then travel through the Estate farm to enter the old Caledonian Pine Forest. This is one of the country's most important habitats and home to the elusive capercaillie.
After spending some time exploring this pristine area we head out of the woods onto the open hillside. The views soon start to open up as we travel through the heather high up the flanks of Lochnagar, one of Scotland’s most famous mountains.
The safari then heads back to civilisation via the monuments and historical buildings of Easter Balmoral. Discover the intriguing life stories of the resident wildlife and learn about the conservation management that is currently underway to help protect some of the United Kingdoms rarest species.
Although, we are highly unlikely to see the rare and elusive Scottish Wild Cat, whilst on safari, we are passing through its habitat and it is likely that it will see us! Balmoral Luxury Land Rover Safaris supports the 'Highland Tiger' campaign. For more information check out www.highlandtiger.com
An excellent opportunity to experience the stunning mountain scenery of the Cairngorms National Park, all from the comfort of a Luxury Landrover Discovery.
