What To Expect
Libearty Bear Sanctuary Zarnesti
Picture this: you’re standing in a forest where the air is crisp, the trees stretch endlessly, and just a few feet away, Europe’s largest population of rescued brown bears roam freely. Welcome to Libearty Bear Sanctuary—a place unlike any zoo or wildlife park you’ve ever seen. These bears, once kept in captivity, now thrive in their natural habitat, and you get to see them living their best lives—climbing trees, bathing in pools, and lazing in the sun. It’s raw, real, and deeply moving. This isn’t just a photo op; it’s a rare front-row seat to Romania’s wild side, a chance to witness a conservation success story where these incredible creatures were given a second chance. Imagine telling your friends you stood within arm’s reach of Europe’s most powerful predators—no cages, no tricks, just nature at its finest.

Valea Zimbrilor
The adventure continues to a nearby bison reservation, where Europe’s heaviest land mammal roams. The European bison, once nearly extinct, has been successfully reintroduced into Romania’s wilderness, making this visit a rare privilege. Guided by local rangers, you’ll get the chance to observe these impressive creatures up close, learning about their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. Feeding the bison offers a unique hands-on encounter, providing insight into their behavior and significance in Romanian ecosystems. Surrounded by rolling hills, dense forests, and untouched meadows, you’ll feel immersed in landscapes that few travelers get to see—quiet, remote, and breathtakingly beautiful. This journey off the beaten path reveals a side of Romania where time seems to slow down, and nature reigns supreme.

Acris
And just when you think the day can’t get any better, it’s time to eat—and not at some touristy restaurant. You’ll be welcomed into the home of a local family for a meal you’ll never forget. This is the real deal—home-cooked Romanian dishes made with ingredients straight from the garden. Think slow-cooked stews bursting with flavor, warm bread fresh from the oven, tangy homemade cheese, and seasonal produce you’ll swear tastes better because it’s grown right there. You’ll sit at a rustic wooden table, share stories with your hosts, and get a glimpse of everyday life in rural Romania. It’s not just lunch; it’s an invitation into someone’s home, a chance to connect with people who live in harmony with the land you’ve been exploring. The authenticity here is unmatched—no scripted tours, no staged experiences—just real food, real people, and a real taste of Romania.
