Wild Dobrogea – Steppe, Hills and Wings-Filled Skies
Share

Step into a place where the landscape doesn’t just take your breath away-it shifts your perspective.
Wild Dobrogea is a rare geological mosaic: ancient steppe and sun‑baked hills, criss‑crossed by thousands of migrating birds in flight. This isn’t a vacation. It’s a nature expedition for those who know how to see beyond the obvious.
Here, wildlife photography becomes meditation. You learn to read the light upon limestone cliffs, listen to the silence of rolling hills, and appreciate the graceful flight of a roller.

Ancient Landscapes. Wild Nature.
Dobrogea is a patchwork of terrains-from arid plains and limestone cliffs to hidden forests and secluded lakes. It’s one of Europe’s oldest geological regions and a vital corridor for feathered migration.
Here, you may encounter rare species such as the saker falcon, lesser spotted eagle, bee‑eater, roller, along with non-venomous snakes, land turtles, and endemic butterflies. All observable through ethical expeditions, without interference or pressure.
Florin is your local wildlife guide, with decades of expedition experience. Knowing where to be is helpful-but knowing when to be there makes the difference in Dobrogea. Light is fleeting, birds fly fast-but stay silent, and they’ll come close.

What People Say

Last weekend’s trip wasn’t just about birds, but also about friendship: Florin Stavarache & Dan Durmast.

Even though we reached the Delta right after a brief ice spell, the winter experience and delta landscape were unforgettable. Besides the many birds (some photographed for the first time), the trip stood out for the friendships formed-thanks to Florin for the excellent guidance and Dan Durmast for the company. A fantastic photo tour! While we chased this duck 🤭🤭🤭… well, it's cautious - like all wildlife, until it sees a person and a boat.

The boss of the Delta! The majesty of this bird is simply overwhelming. (White-tailed eagle - Haliaeetus albicilla)
