Sofia from the Nature Travels team goes moose spotting at the location for our Moose and Beaver Safari plus Wolf Howling Tour<\/a> in Sweden<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psst: Don\u2019t know the difference between a moose and an elk? Read our blog article \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference between a moose and an elk<\/a>\u201d for more information! (hint: there isn\u2019t one, at least not in Europe)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the middle of the afternoon and we sat relaxing around the campfire when we heard the minivans driving up the track. Our guides introduced themselves and said that we\u2019d start off with driving to a spot in the forest to have an introductory chat and something to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were divided up into the two minivans and drove off. Not many minutes later one of our guides (who was driving the van I was in) said excitedly, \u201cThere are some moose!!\u201d and at the same time trying to stop on the busy road. We parked up and quietly stepped out of the minivans and were handed binoculars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moose we had spotted were a female with a one-year-old male calf. They were standing in a corner of the field looking at us, trying to decide if we were a threat or not. We got a good look at them before the female decided that she had enough and went into the forest shortly followed by the one-year-old. We all agreed it was a great start to the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continued on and in the end we walked to a clearing in the forest next to a beautiful lake. Here we sat down for a while and our guides told us some moose facts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you, for example, know that\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
