Wild Europe

Wild EuropeEastern Europe covers so many square miles that it is bound to encompass just about every tourist experience in the world. One of its great secrets is that in the eastern part of the European continent there are some wonderful, natural, completely unspoiled wildlife parks.

You can pay an absolute fortune for one of the luxury tanzania safari holidays, and you will have an amazing experience seeing African animals in their natural habitats. The “big five” on an African safari are lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and rhinoceros. Most tourist trips will take you into the wild where you will see these wonderful creatures for yourself. You won’t get them on a Eastern European “safari”, but what you will get is stunning scenery that has been untouched since the Ice Ages, as well as animals that most Europeans don’t even realise share their continent.

One excellent example is Bulgaria’s Strandja Nature Park in the southeastern area of the continent. This is one of the many excellent wildlife centres in Eastern Europe, boasting a huge range of wildflowers, birds, butterflies, and small reptiles. A day’s trip to the park is not normally enough – most families find that their smallest members, the kiddies, cry out to spend longer at this wonderful nature reserve.

In the days of Soviet Eastern Europe many stunning natural attractions such as this went unremarked, a sideline to Communist Europe’s industrial march onwards. In some ways, that helped them remain unspoiled – twenty or thirty years ago these areas were ignored since they did not offer any industrial or commercial benefits.

Luckily, their natural benefits have been left intact for us to explore now.
