Our guides

A hunting outfitter is nothing without capable guides. Kulu Safaris is proud to have many highly experienced hunting guides working with us here in Magadan, Russia. Some of the hunt guides have been with us since the first tour. If a guide chooses to work with us, he has to go through an apprenticeship program, where he works as an assistant guide for 2 years, before he could go on to guide hunts 1-on-1 with a hunter or accept an assistant guide himself.

Our base camps

Kulu Safaris is known for well-maintained base camps both for brown bear hunting and snow sheep hunting. Every base camp is equipped with several electricity generators, sometimes solar power. We have a large kitchen and dining hall, separate from all other buildings, where we always serve delicious Russian Cuisine (freshly-baked bread, borsch, dumplings, perogi, plov etc).
Dining halls also serve as operational centers where guides and hunters meet to discuss hunting brown bears or snow sheep. Kulu Safaris employs only professional local cooks from Magadan, that we know personally. Hunting cabins are warm and cozy, with enough space for 3-4 hunters each. All cabins have windows and woodstoves. For those wishing to relax after a tough hunt, saunas and/or hot showers are available also at every camp.

Spike camps

Satellite communication is at hand at every base camp in Magadan Region. Moreover, every guide carries an Iridium satellite phone with him to ensure safety and coordination during a brown bear or snow sheep hunt. The number of hunters for each season determines which base camps to be opened. If the snow sheep hunters’ group is small, Kulu Safaris will set up spike camps across an area with a saturated sheep population. Such spike camps will also have warm showers, electricity. Instead of cabins, canvas wall tents with wood stoves will be used. Kulu Safaris is a responsible hunting outfitter, we do our share to keep brown bear and snow sheep populations healthy and vibrant. Kulu recycles hunting locations almost every year and reports any illegal activity to corresponding authorities. Garbage is either burned or collected and taken to Magadan at the end of bear or snow sheep hunts.
