Aurora Safari Camp opened in 2013 by the photographer Fredrik Broman and is the first Arctic Winter Glampsite in the world and one of it’s kind in northern Scandinavia. The camp is situated by the Råne River, in Swedish Lapland. There is no artificial light at all to be seen from the camp that disturbs your chances of seeing Aurora or Northern Light as it is also called. The clear skies, make stargazing here a pure magic and the Milkyway is just right above your head.

Sample Itinerary
There are four comfortable Lavvu Rooms that can be set up as doubles, twins or family rooms. There is a firewood heater in each Lavvu, and even if very low outside temperatures, your room is warm inside. Washroom are situated between 20-75 meters from the Lavvus.
In the lounge you can have a drink by the fireplace or we can arrange fine dining for up to 14 people. By the open fireplace outside there is a magnificent view over the river.
There is plenty to do at the camp during winter time, such as watching aurora from the sauna.
A “must do” and a great adventure is to meet up with the Siberian Husky team. Spend a few hours playing and go along with his team of dogs on the forest- and lake trails.
There are snowmobiles and tours with fika (something warm to drink and something sweet to eat) is offered to see the beautiful surroundings.
You could also go on a snowshoe expedition, go cross country skiing, snow mountainbiking, learn how to make ice sculpture or just simply enjoy a walk on the frozen river.
Summer activities include fishing, rafting, white water kayaking and trekking.
If you are lucky on safari you may come across the King of the forest – a Swedish moose.
Food outdoors or indoors is fantastic!

Aurora safari camp makes minimum impact to the environment around us, especially compared to standard hotels. The water consumed when dishwashing is filtered through a sandbed, the eco-toilet has a urine separation system, and the the rest of the waste is transported to a biogas facility in a nearby town that then provides the municipal-buses with fuel. The birch-firewood used to heat the tents is from local supplier. Birch wood is bio-fuel, and the regrowth of birch is quick. Transports to the camp is done by a modern snowmobile with a catalytic system and very low-consuming engine (about 8-10 l/100km).
The Camp is not connected to the electrical grid. There are solar cells and led lamps providing all the light needed.
