Kansas City Zoo Polar Bear Trip With Zoo Director Randy Wisthoff November 7, 2010

Churchill, Manitoba, is said to be the Polar Bear Capitol of the world. Located at the edge of the Hudson Bay -- and accessible only by plane -- lies the small northern seaport where the Arctic sea water freezes first at the mouth of the Bay. The bears congregate along the coast each fall, anticipating their return to the ice and the beginning of their feasting season, hunting for ringed seal at the water's edge. Travel with Kansas City Zoo Director Randy Wisthoff and his wife Barbara on this once in a lifetime adventure. Explore the polar bears' natural habitat on a Tundra Buggy, and even bunk in the Tundra Buggy Lodge, where polar bears are often found lounging at your doorstep. Witness polar bears in their own environments as they hunt, play, sunbathe, and go about their daily routines. Take home unforgettable memories of this magnificent species and its incredible tundra home. Tour includes three days on the Tundra Buggy with Interpretive Guides; all lodging including two nights in Winnipeg, one night in Churchill, and three nights on the Arctic tundra in the Tundra Buggy Lodge. Air transportation and most meals are also included.
