5-Star Canadian Wilderness Safari | The River Outpost

Four kilometers south of the home ranch, the Siwash River Outpost beckons for a day-long escape into the wild. Our site features over one kilometer's length of meandering river front. Families or couples may add this Siwash signature experience onto their ranch stay to experience their own private and bespoke Canadian wilderness safari.

The trip down to the river from Siwash is 1½ - 3 hours, based on guest preference, and same for the way back, following a different path. On route you'll journey through the after effects of the wildfire that swept through in summer of 2017 and learn all about this rare and unique ecosystem. 

Travel by horseback, 4WD, mountain bike, or on foot — the choice is yours!   Our trails weave in and out of wildfire affected areas and islands of lush green refugia — plenty of pristine forest and meadows that escaped the flames. You will also see secluded wilderness lakes that attract various waterfowl and wildlife, and wide open range with expansive grasslands. At the river, you will have a couple of hours to explore and relax during this authentic adventure in the wilds. If  you arrived on horseback, your guide will take off bridles and loosen cinches so that your trusty mounts can be haltered and rest quietly nearby.

Your Safari host will set up a delicious picnic on the riverbank. On cool days you can snuggle in close to the campfire.  Enjoy cowboy coffee prepared over the flames and served in enamel-ware cups and marshmallows roasted over the open fire.
