In days gone by, the Sami lived exclusively from hunting, fishing and herding their reindeer. During recent years, many new tourism operators have established businesses in co-operation with the native people, and now there are many opportunities for visitors to get to know the unique Lapp culture and traditions. Lapplandsafari Lapplandsafari is a family firm with deep roots in the local community. The family works with suppliers from the immediate area as far as is possible practically and economically. All guiding is done in small groups.
Food is prepared from ingredients and recipes from the locality.
Lapplandsafari is based in the mountain village of Ammarn s in the province of V sterbotten in Sweden's largest nature reserve and Europe's largest protected natural area. Some 200 people live in the village in summer, half that number during winter. Visitors can choose between accommodation in hotels, guest-houses or cottages in Ammarn s or in the Lapp camp of Geunja. At Geunja, you can overnight in cottages or on reindeer skins in a genuine Sami tent and experience Sami life as it was lived in the 19th century. Activities on offer include hunting, fishing, canoeing, skiing, riding or walking.
