4×4 safari to Qafështamë Nature Park
A half-day into the mountains - 5–6 hours by 4×4 to the pine forests at 1,200 metres and back.
About this experience
A longer, higher, quieter ride than our Bovilla or Çerkezë tours.
Five to six hours from our base in Zall-Herr, offroad through the mountains via Bovilla and up to Qafështamë Nature Park - pine forests, cool alpine air, and the pass at 1,200+ metres. The route out takes you first through the mountain tracks up to Bovilla, then keeps climbing through the ridge and forest tracks that connect Bovilla to the Qafështamë pass - about two hours of driving through terrain most tourists never see.
5 to 2 hours of free time to walk, take photos, and visit the Queen Mother spring - the famous mineral water source the park is known for. There are a couple of small restaurants at the pass if you want to stop for food or drinks.
Then it's back the same way. Total time is 5 to 6 hours from arrival to departure.
Each 4×4 fits up to three passengers plus the driver, no age minimum for passengers. Good pick if you want a proper day in the mountains rather than a short tour.
Food and drinks at the pass are not included, but easy to arrange on the spot. If you want to extend into a full day and pair Qafështamë with the castle town of Kruja on the way back, see our Qafështamë + Kruja safari.
