Itinerary

Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti

Admission included90 min

Not all bears are born free! Avoid unreliable platforms, last-minute stress, and complicated bookings. With this carefully organized tour, everything is arranged for you in advance—so you can focus entirely on the experience. Hidden deep in the Carpathian forest near Brașov, more than one hundred rescued brown bears now live in safety and dignity at Bear Sanctuary Zărnești. Many were saved from cages, chains, circuses, or years of exploitation—today, they roam freely through the forest for the first time. This is not a zoo and there is no direct interaction. The visit focuses on respect, education, and conservation. This experience takes you inside the sanctuary, where you’ll walk among ancient oak trees and quietly observe bears climbing, playing, resting, and swimming—just as they should in the wild. With transport from Brașov included and an English-speaking guide by your side, this is more than a visit! It’s a powerful encounter with wildlife, compassion, and second chances.

Tour guide sucks

I paid A LOT OF MONEY - Over $200 Canadian for a tour of these two medieval towns. Not only was I disappointed by the towns but I had an ";alternate" tour guide who told me NO INFORMATION unless I plied it out of him. I have seed good reviews for Bogdan. But he has a friend who does tours who only does the BASICS. I had to ask him EVERYTHING or he would not share anything with me. Very short stop in each town and little information shared. Make sure you get the owner of this company and not his friend who works in logisitics who knows noting,, shares nothings, and talks on his cell phone the whole time. Good thing I had a book to read ! WORKS MONEY SPENT IN ROMANIA

What beautiful places!

It was a private tour with our guide, Bogdan and the walking tour experience at Sighisoara & Sibiu was great! Bogdan is knowledgeable & he certainly knows his way around. He is very accommodating, drives safely & has a sense of humour. An enjoyable trip with a great guide!
