Polar bear walks towards us at Seal River Heritage Lodge. Robert Postma photo.
Whew! It was a busy and bustling 2016 at Churchill Wild for polar bears, wolves, wildlife, lodge upgrades and adventures.
A big thank you goes out to all our guests and the staff, photographers, photo leaders and media who sent us photos or posted about their experiences online. You know none of this works without you, and your generous sharing continued to attract guests from around the world to our lodges. If we’ve missed a photo you think should be included in the album please let us know. There were thousands to choose from!
Your efforts and kind words of recommendation were greatly appreciated, and thanks to you, every year at Churchill Wild seems to be even better than the previous. We’re really looking forward to the upcoming season and we hope you are too.
Wishing everyone a warm and prosperous 2017! See you in the New Year!
