Big, bad wolves occupy a special place in the German psyche, having been a villainous, people-gobbling fixture in the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm. Despite this, lupines were welcomed back to the country two decades ago, after an absence of 150 years. Today there are more than 100 wolf packs across the country, with some prowling the wilds of Elbe Wendland, Lower Saxony. If you assumed you’d need to fly to the northern tundra to view these magnificent beasts, think again: on Wendland safaris, tourists can track the wily beasts, learning more about them as they hear ghostly howls echo around the forests. Tours range from three-hours to an entire “Wolf Intensive Week”.
Prices for the Wolf Intensive Week range from €156/£133 (two nights) to €602/£516 (seven nights). Accommodation included in price
