Wild Flowers and Wildlife - Tours to Kazakhstan
  • Kazakhstan is a vast nation in Central Asia home
    to a wonderful array of wild flowers and wildlife
    with open steppe and high mountains. The tours to
    Kazakhstan take the wildlife enthusiast to a part
    of the world they have likely never seen before,
    with spectacular bird life and the chance to see
    Horsfield's Tortoise at Lake Kapchagai on the
    River Ili, near the former capital of Almaty.
  • More so than the wildlife, the Kazakhstan tour
    main focuses is the botany, as Kazakhstan is the
    homeland of a number of wild tulip species. Many
    species of tulip can be seen on tours.
  • Almaty
  • Visitors to Kazakhstan basically begin their stay
    in the city of Almaty, nestled beneath the
    white-capped peaks of the Trans Ili range. From
    there, you can go to Lake Kapchagai, which is
    nearly 80 km north-east of Almaty and home to a
    beautiful range of flora and animal life.
    Tourists can go in search of the species Tulipa
    albertii, Tulipa behmiana and Tulipa busheana, in
    addition to other captivating flora such as
    Corydalis karelinii and Iris tenuifolia. The area
    around Lake Kapchagai is also rich in reptile
    life, allowing reptile enthusiasts the
    opportunity of a Horsfield's Tortoise sighting.

  • Merke Gorge
  • Merke Gorge is a long drive from Almaty, but
    enjoyable when broken up with botanical stops.
    One of these, the Kurdai Pass, is a tulipophile's
    treat Tulipa kolpakowskiana, Tulipa ostrowskiana
    and their hybrids grow here, in a bright weave of
    red, orange and yellow flowers. The very early
    flowering Tulipa regelii also grows around the
    Kurdai Pass, and it is possible to find its
    distinctive leaves among the other plant species.
    On to the steep slopes of Merke Gorge in the
    Kirghiz Alatau mountain range, home to abundant
    flora and wildlife, tailor made tours will
    provide a spectacular highlight for tulipophiles
    Zinaida's Tulip, endemic to the Kirghiz Alatau.
  • Aksu Dzabagly Nature Reserve
  • The Aksu Dzabagly Nature Reserve is the oldest in
    Central Asia and another spectacular destination
    on this Kazakhstan tour. From a base in a
    guesthouse, tours can go to the Boroldai Gorge -
    where Greig's Tulips grow in matchless density -
    and the Aksu Gorge, home to different and
    indigenous plant species such as Korolkowia
    sewerzowi, Rhinopetalum stenantherum, and Scilla
    pushkinioides. The open forest in the reserve
    harbours many plant species that includes one of
    the rarest plants in the Tien Shan Mountains -
    the endemic Thesium minkwitzianum.

  • Saryyaigyr Gorge
  • In the Karzhantau range, Saryyaigyr Gorge is
    another beautiful area with a impressive array of
    botanical wildlife. The custom-made tours will
    take tourists to see more than ten different
    forms of Kaufmann's Tulips in bloom on the
    gorge's steep slopes, in addition to thickets of
    Ferula penninervis, Ferula tenuisecta and Prangos
    pabularia.For More information mail us
