Atlin, British Columbia

The Taku River drainage is a 4.5 million acre (18,000 square kilometer) wilderness area in northwestern British Columbia and the largest pristine Pacific watershed in the Western Hemisphere.

The Taku is a region of remarkable diversity. It contains both boreal and coastal rain forests, majestic mountains, glaciers and wetlands. This is the home and traditional territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation. With its long, rich history of Tlingit culture, the Taku is indeed a very special place.

Iconic fauna such as grizzly and black bears, wolves, moose, caribou and mountain goats all reside in the Taku along with many other forest and mountain dwelling creatures. All five species of pacific salmon migrate into the Taku, providing the nutrients for many areas of exceptionally high ecological values.

The vision of Taku Safaris is for the Taku to remain a wild flourishing ecosystem, where visitors may witness its allure and be humbled by its magnificence.
