COME ON A CANOE BIRDWATCHING SAFARI

How much life can one of the world’s major karst fields hold? Find out on a single canoe ride!

Located in the western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina lies Livanjsko polje, a vast karst field that is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including 42 different species of dragonflies, 277 registered bird species, and wild horses. It’s a place where one can reconnect with the rich tapestry of wildlife often overlooked in our busy lives.

Your hosts, Anto and Marija, embody a deep passion for this natural paradise. This dynamic duo, partners in both life and business, share an unbreakable bond and a love for birdwatching and canoeing, which they showcase through this signature experience.

Anto holds a degree in biology and chemistry, but he has directed his passion toward the abundant wildlife found in his vicinity—Livanjsko polje and the Sturba River, the longest river in the karst field. Livanjsko polje is known as one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s largest bird habitats, making it a perfect focus for Anto’s birdwatching expertise. Today, he ranks among the top five birdwatchers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, having published a scientific paper on a bird species he discovered in Livanjsko polje.

Together with Marija, a high school professor, they now share their love for birdwatching through a canoeing safari. You’ll paddle down the Sturba River, guided by Anto’s experienced narration of the 40 bird species you might encounter during your journey. Accompanying you will be the indispensable Bingo, Anto and Marija’s four-legged friend. After your adventure through this biodiverse river, Marija will greet you at the end of your route with a homemade lunch and grill.

Join Anto’s family for a canoeing safari on the Sturba River and discover the vibrant world around us!
