Since 1991, Yellowstone Safari Company has been offering top-tier wildlife and national park tours that are both educational and unforgettable. Our years of experience, unwavering commitment to quality, and strong focus on education and conservation set us apart from the rest. These core values are brought to life by our incredible team, from our office staff to our expert naturalist guides, who are dedicated to creating exceptional experiences for every guest.
Our expert guides come from diverse backgrounds including wildlife biologists, animal behaviorists, park rangers, forest rangers, and passionate outdoor enthusiasts. Each of them is an environmental educator, bringing a wealth of knowledge and a deep love for the land. They’re dedicated to offering guests rich, memorable experiences and sharing fascinating insights that will exceed your expectations and deepen your connection to the park.
Over the years, we’ve had visitors from all over the world join us on our tours. What started as a small operation in Bozeman, MT, has grown to include locations across Southwestern Montana—Big Sky, West Yellowstone, Paradise Valley, and Gardiner—as well as Cody, WY. Our mission has always been to create nature-focused experiences that inspire a deep appreciation for the natural world, foster a commitment to conservation, and leave our guests with unforgettable memories.

We always recommend starting with one of our guided tours—this gives you an excellent overview of the region and insider tips from a local guide. The rest of your vacation will be even more enjoyable with the foundation we provide!
Guided Tours
At Yellowstone Safari Company, we take pride in our ability to guide on public lands while holding permits for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, the Gallatin National Forest, and the Bureau of Land Management. With comfortable, safe vehicles and top-of-the-line equipment like binoculars and spotting scopes, we are fully equipped for every scenario. We provide our guides with thorough training to ensure we meet the high standards of these land management programs, as well as our own internal qualifications. Every guide is held to the same rigorous level of wilderness safety, first aid expertise, guiding knowledge, and customer service, so our guests can feel confident they’re in the best hands possible.
Sustainability
Yellowstone Safari Company was born from a deep love for wild places and a commitment to conservation. The stunning beauty and ecological significance of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem inspired us to create a wildlife safari company that blends adventure with education and sustainability. As the first BEST-certified sustainable business in Montana, we’re proud to offer tours that minimize waste, reduce energy use, and prioritize environmental responsibility. We’re dedicated to delivering an exceptional experience while providing top-notch education, supporting our community, and honoring the rich heritage of this incredible region.
Professional Naturalist Guides
Our guides are experienced wildlife biologists, animal behaviorists, past rangers and environmental educators who are eager to provide in-depth, memorable experiences and factual information to enhance your visit to Yellowstone National Park. Our guides have thousands of hours in the field and know the parks intimately, offering you extremely friendly and professional local insight.
Wildlife Etiquette
Our guides spend time teaching guests how to track and observe wildlife in Yellowstone National Park without getting too close. Visitors who are unfamiliar with wildlife often do not understand the nature of wild animals or the proper etiquette to follow while enjoying a wildlife encounter. Keeping a legal and respectful distance, limiting noise, and refraining from feeding wildlife are all imperative for maintaining the health of our parks and wildlife populations. Yellowstone Safari Co. guides take the time to make sure that you’re equipped with the proper knowledge to head out on your own for a safe and enjoyable wildlife adventure.
