Wildlife holidays in Romania advice from our travellers
We have selected some of the most useful Romania wildlife holiday tips that our guests have provided over the years to help you make the very best of your holiday – and the space inside your suitcase.


"Do it. We are hardly your typical gap year students. We are a married couple who just fancied a holiday with a difference. If you're not looking for glamour, and don't mind a spot of hard work, it's a very rewarding and worthwhile experience." – Jane Adcock on a bear volunteering holiday
"Be prepared for all weathers! We went in early May and had lovely warm sunshine on some days, but also heavy snow on another day! (The snow was actually quite fun, but I did need to borrow gloves.) But the hotel may be able to lend some equipment, e.g. walking poles, if you need it." – William Walker on a Carpathian Mountains holiday


"Be prepared for some messy work! Take old clothes and gloves and a good camera to capture the bears antics. Try to learn a few words of Romanian, it's really appreciated." – Deborah Robson on a bear volunteering holiday
"Being vegetarian is not a problem, as long as you like cheese! Traditional Romanian restaurants can be rather limited but usually offer something and other places have various choices on the menu. The local supermarkets also sell good quality fruit and veg, etc. The weather can change completely and very quickly without warning, so be prepared for thunder and lightning even in blue sky and sunshine! And if you're travelling by train, don't be surprised if there aren't any signs on station platforms." – Rosemary Hindley on a bear volunteering holiday
"Do discuss what you'd like to see and do on your trip with the owners of the tour operator. They are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. … Beware, the culinary experience did have the effect of increasing our weight!!!" - Simon Seaton on Romania’s natural wonders small group holiday
