| An outfitter is an estate situated deep in the forest where you can stay and practice your favorite outdoor activities. These are former private hunting and fishing clubs that are now open to the public. We have selected some of the most beautiful ones for your enjoyment both for the areas they cover as well as the originality and quality of lodging they provide. The great outfitters tour: for people who want to live in close contact with nature. |

| Car rental - Airport pick-up! |
| TIP: Please note that these prices include a pick up directly at the airport. Considering how expensive taxi transfer can be and the fact that you'll only have to park your vehicle in downtown (city centre) the first night, we truly belive that it's the easiest way to proceed. If for whatever reason you would like to proceed otherwise by rather piking-up the car in a downtown location on day 2, we'd be more than happy to quote it for you.
