Comments from May 2010 participants:
What did you enjoy most about the Discovering Bears and Wolves Yellowstone Tour?
"The sights were breathtaking and our excellent guides' encyclopedic knowledge of the park and wildlife made every drive a special experience. The thrill of seeing a mother Grizzly with her two new cubs could only be topped by watching three wolves travel across a ridge to feast on their kill in a river bed. Sharing all this with a congenial group of Zoo members made it all the more enjoyable.” ~Alice and Roy Lively
"There’s terrific diversity, impressive numbers, and the animals are sufficiently habituated to humans they let you watch them." ~Alma & Ed Novotny
What did enjoy most about traveling with the Houston Zoo?
"The people from the Zoo and the others on the trip. We can't think of anything that would have made this trip better for us. It met and exceeded all of our expectations and we have sung the praises of this trip to all who would listen." ~LaNelle and Frank McKay
This trip is limited to 14 participants. Spots will fill up soon!
