It is time for musk ox safari. The musk ox is not dangerous as long as it is not provoked, but unlike other wild animals it does not always flee from humans. We therefore recommend a guided tour with Sigbjørn or another guide from Oppdal Safari. Respectful distance to a musk ox is 200 meters. During the safari there are also possibilities to see reindeer, moose and arctic fox. The tour lasts about five hours.
