Subarctic Safari
In no other place in the world polar bears and beluga whales can be viewed in a better way than in Churchill on the coast of Hudson Bay in the far North of Manitoba.
Favorite Places:
With its unique architecture and an interactive exhibition area, Winnipeg's Canadian Museum for Human Rights is impressive from both, inside and out. The museum is all about human rights, which are presented from a variety of different perspectives. www.humanrights.ca

The world’s largest collection of Inuit art can be found at Qaumajuq, the Inuit Art Center in the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Truely unique! www.wag.ca
Like a huge green mountain island, Riding Mountain National Park rises up out of the flat prairie landscape in southwestern Manitoba and is a true paradise for the local wildlife. Ready for your bison safari?
In the middle of the prairie, giant Lake Winnipeg reminds of a sea, rather than a lake. Far away from any ocean, it inspires with its maritime ambience including lighthouses and small fishing ports as well as beautiful sandy beaches and excellent water sports facilities!
In the North of Manitoba, summer flushes thousands of white beluga whales into Hudson Bay. Also polar bears can be seen, spending the warm summer months on land. If you want to see polar bears in a white snowy landscape, you should come to Churchill in fall. Then, hundreds of polar bears migrate from their summer territories in the tundra to the shore of Hudson Bay to wait for the bay to freeze over.
