Saiga Photo Safari
Outside protected areasby Nomadic Travel Kazakhstan
A two-day private 4x4 photo safari from Astana along the southern edge of Korgalzhyn reserve to Lake Tengiz and the Kerey valley, camping on the lakeshore, looking for saiga antelope and steppe-lake birds. The saiga are wary and fast, so success is not guaranteed.
