Bison at Białowieża Forest

Białowieża Forest, straddling the border area shared by Poland and Belarus, remains one of Europe's last extensive tracts of primeval woodland, a mosaic of ancient deciduous and mixed forest that provides a fitting backdrop for photographing bison. Visiting in January, when the bare winter trees and quiet stillness of the forest lend a raw, atmospheric quality to any encounter, offers photographers a memorable setting for capturing these iconic animals. Our Wildlife of Białowieża Forest holiday brings you into this ancient landscape, where the sheer scale and age of the surrounding woodland underscore the presence of the bison within it.
