A MILLION ANIMALS IN THE QAMANIRIJUAQ CARIBOU HERD
In case you ever tire of watching the wildlife and the Northern Lights, Arctic Haven Wilderness Lodge offers you the chance to go dog-sledding, kite-skiing, lake exploring, kayaking…
They stream past you in a seemingly unending torrent. How many individuals make up this immense herd? Too many to count. Too many even to see and comprehend in a single glance – there are over a third of a million animals in the herd of Qamanirijuaq caribou that thunder across the Canadian Barrenlands surrounding Arctic Haven Wilderness Lodge.
But caribou aren’t the only reason for making the lodge part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to the Arctic. There are grizzly bears and black bears, golden eagles, Arctic wolves and wolverines – all on show close by. And when you’re not watching the wildlife, you’re having a wild time. The resort offers exhilarating activities like dog sledding and snow mobile riding, skiing and kite-skiing – and exploring Ennadai Lake aboard a purpose-built boat.

The service we received from ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
