The Iberian Lynx is about twice as big as a large house cat; its hind legs are slightly longer than the front legs. The tail is short & has a black tip. The brown fur typically is made up of many tones.

The highlight is the possibility of spotting the elusive Iberian lynx – the world’s rarest cat.

This wildlife photography holiday is ideal for photographers who hope to photograph one of the rarest cats in the world, the Iberian lynx. The typically small guest group size ensures that we have the best chance for encounters with this elusive cat. In addition to the hides, during the 4×4 safaris, we also search for the Iberian lynx on public & private land.
Thanks to colossal conservation efforts, the Iberian Lynx is back from the edge of extinction; however, only 900 individuals exist in the wild. The bulk of these are concentrated in the rugged & unspoilt regions of Southern Spain.
The Iberian Lynx is about twice as big as a large house cat; its hind legs are slightly longer than the front legs. The tail is short & has a black tip. The brown fur typically is made up of many tones.
Special Note – Please be aware that the Iberian Lynx is a rare & shy animal, so quiet & patience is required. The chance of a successful spotting is thought to be reasonable but is NOT in any way guaranteed.
For this reason, our itinerary will be flexible regarding the hide sessions & 4 x 4 safaris to give you the best chance of success.
All participants must be aware that these animals are timid & do not show themselves for long.
All that said, if you manage to photograph the Iberian Lynx, then this will be amongst the top wildlife encounters that you can experience & one that you will never forget because the Iberian lynx is genuinely, in our opinion, the most beautiful & rarest cat on our planet.
