Insider tips

  • ★Request a naturalist guide if available; knowledge of endemic and migratory species significantly enhances the experience
  • ★Pack water and snacks; refreshment options are limited in the national park area

Good to know

  • •Full-day tour; bring sturdy, closed-toe shoes suitable for both jeep travel and potential light walking
  • •The 4×4 vehicle navigates uneven terrain—not recommended for those with mobility issues or severe back problems
  • •Meet at a designated Tirana location (confirm exact point and time at booking); early morning departure typical for wildlife activity
  • •Camera with zoom lens ideal for wildlife photography; a hat and sunscreen essential
  • •Light rain doesn't typically cancel; the jeep operates in most weather, though heavy storms may affect access
