Where Wildlife Roams Free
The Northwest Territories is one of the largest pristine wilderness areas in Canada. There are opportunities for wildlife viewing almost everywhere - from our northern highways (wood bison, moose, foxes, black bear, beaver and muskrat), from aircraft or boats (caribou, grizzly, muskoxen, whales), from our winter roads (caribou, wolves, marten), and on nature tours with Northwest Territories outfitters.
Bring your camera and get set for an unforgettable adventure. Choose a guided nature tour in the northern forest or the mountains, or travel with a wilderness outfitter through a barrenland wildlife sanctuary. Take a tour across the Arctic tundra to see wildlife at the floe edge. Our wilderness outfitters will introduce you to the wildlife species in their area.
