Forget zoos and staged shows. This is a private, ethical bear encounter in a natural forest sanctuary — where a rescued bear lives as a family member and choose to interact with calm, respectful humans.

✔ Raised by experts — handlers with 15+ years of experience
✔ Safe & controlled — strict protocols, safety briefing, small groups
✔ Instagram-famous — your friends will think it’s Photoshop (it’s not!)
✔ All-inclusive — transfers, guide, 30-min session, stories & memories
✅ 30-Minute Private Session — pose, hug (if bear allows), and take magical photos with a real Russian bear
✅ English-Speaking Guide — learn fascinating stories about bear behavior, care, and conservation
✅ Round-Trip Transfers from Moscow — pickup/drop-off from your hotel or central location
✅ Safety Briefing & Rules — clear, simple instructions to ensure comfort for you and the bear
⚠️ Important Safety & Etiquette Rules (For Your Safety & The Bear’s Comfort)
To ensure a magical — and safe — experience for everyone:
🚫 NO alcohol or drugs — participants must be fully sober
🚫 NO strong perfumes or colognes — scents can agitate the bear
🚫 NO visiting big cats (lions/tigers) on the same day — the smell of other large predators can stress the bear
