FACE TO FACE WITH NATURE
Hunting in Bulgaria is a first-class experience
Bulgaria is one of the European countries where hunting and hunting and photo safari tourism are a true pleasure. The country's diverse geography offers a variety of landscapes and habitats where numerous animals roam. Thick forests, rivers and marshes, mountains and valleys – the choice of places where you can meet wild nature face to face is large, rewarding and will leave you filled with pleasant memories.
Organised hunting movement in Bulgaria dates back to the 19th century. Today in the country are active dozens of hunting lodges and farms. They look after a natural diversity of rare animals, such as brown bear and red deer, and more common species such as boar, wolf, roe deer, hare, fox, Western capercaillie, wood pigeon, pheasant, quail, grey partridge. Many of these are native to Bulgaria, while others were introduced in the 20th century when the country started to develop as a destination for hunting tourism. Such an "immigrant" is the European fallow deer. It was introduced to Bulgarian forests in the 1970s and today is widely present all over the country.
The quality of Bulgarian game has been internationally recognised for decades. Many red deer and boar capital trophies over 250 СIС points were hunted in Bulgaria.
Foreign hunters have known the potential of Bulgarian hunting places for years and are regular visitors to specialised hunting farms. In their aim to meet the needs of their clients and to offer an unforgettable experience, the best hunting farms offer special conditions and a variety of local and imported species.
