Poland is one of the best places in Europe to observe wild wolves. In the 1970s the population declined to around 70 animals. Today there are nearly 2,000 wolves living in Poland. Four packs are permanently present in the Białowieża Forest – the last primeval wood in Europe. The largest pack, living near the town of Białowieża, has up to 16 wolves!
In turn, the Borecka Forest (Masury region) is a woodland where two packs live. One has from 8 to 14 individuals, the other is still under research. The wood is small, but you can find relics of the primeval forest there, e.g. in the form of unique structure, mosses, lichens and birds.
If you live in the villages near woods, you share the same territory with wolves. In the evenings you might hear wolves howling, and while walking along the trails you can meet them or find their tracks. Wolves really are everywhere here!
We will search, sniff and track. Sit by the fire and listen to wolves howling in the distance. Wander through wild forests where it is easier to encounter wolves than other people.
Our guests come from all over the world — families, solo travelers and nature lovers — and share one thing in common: unforgettable memories from the primeval Białowieża Forest.

Monika is a certified guide in Białowieża forest and a local in fourth generation. Her mother used to be a guide for over 20 years and her father works in the Białowieża NP.
She was raised in the northern part of the forest where she was roaming wild with her sibling.
For the last few years she has lived close to Białowieża village.
In Chile I was a fisherman, in Patagonia I almost became a gaucho, in Finland I roamed the swamps of distant Lapland picking Nordic raspberries. I am genetically addicted to unpopular and off-trail places.
For over 10 years Ania has been living in the heart of the Białowieża Forest — a place that has become her home, her inspiration, and the space where she truly thrives.
Professionally, she is a forest educator. Every day she has the privilege of sharing knowledge about the forest, telling stories about its mysteries, and showing how much we can learn from nature.
And privately? She trains boxing — just like the Forest — teaches her calm and mindfulness. And when she returns from the woods… she sings. Sometimes still among the trees, sometimes already at home, but always with a soul full of sound.
She invites you into her world — filled with wolf howls, the grunts of European bison, and the scent of the ancient forest.
