Welcome to Canada Wildlife Workshops. Canada has some large and charismatic mammals are an important part of our wildlife tourism in Canada, and several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries showcase this wildlife for photographers like yourself. But we also have some remote areas that few ever get to see.
These remote areas are the ones I have been focusing on. As a result, some of the workshops you will see being launched on my website are very unique and remote.
Together we can see some large and small exotic creatures during your workshops with me. Whales, polar, grizzly and black bears, Musk Ox and some of the largest animal migrations in the world.
The vast and huge land that I call home offers stunning wilderness and natural experiences just waiting for you... and the wildlife opportunities are some of the best in the world.
The workshop I am featuring today is a photo workshop for the Caribou Migration in Nunavut, Canada.
One of the most beautiful sights in the world is a migration of mammals moving through the endless wilderness on a path following instincts formed from thousands of years. The woodland caribou migration occurs in northern Canada in a special place that is very wild, covered with foliage that will be turning to autumn colors. There are over 25 species of tundra birds also migrating south, and in the dark hours of the night the northern lights dance across the sky.
Muench Workshops pros Marc Muench and Kevin Pepper, assisted by local Inuit who know the routes of the caribou will lead you through this amazing location in search of the best wildlife sightings and light. We travel by boat, and some on foot. The caribou walk along the eskers following the trails they have been using since the last ice age. You too can walk these trails that are worn into the ground - unique paths that stretch for nearly 500 kilometres and can be seen from the air. The lodge's surroundings are home to a unique history as the lakes and rivers were once inhabited by the Ahiarmiut - Farley Mowat’s “People of the Deer” - for nearly one thousand years. Numerous unspoiled historical sites dot the tundra. Some of which we will visit and photograph by boat and explore by foot.
Each full day excursion is complemented by a gourmet meal that awaits guests upon arrival. Our chef focuses on local flares to the evening dishes, including fresh arctic lake trout gravlax, and the wine list offers some of Canada’s best wines, paired to match the local dishes.
Evening presentations cover interesting topics such as the mythology and folklore of the Aurora Borealis, local photography and cuisine. Kayaking is also available for the group and lead by certified guides who teach you proper technique and bring you to sheltered bays and inlets where caribou roam.
With numbers over 250,000 this is one of the largest herds of caribou in North America. The Quamirjuaq caribou herd roams the barrens west of the Hudson Bay in southwestern Nunavut from late August to late fall. Come join us for an amazing and remote wild spectacle in the far reaches of the planet, at 60 degrees north.
