Reserve Askania-Nova

Biosphere Reserve "Askania-Nova"
Ukraine, Kherson
Askania-Nova Biosphere Reserve is a unique corner of nature: here is the only piece of steppe in Europe that has never been touched by a plow (once excavated steppe is never restored). The Askania-Nova Reserve is listed among the "100 Great Reserves and Parks" of the world by the book of the same name, published in Moscow by the Veche publishing house in 2002 (author-compiler N. A. Yudina). Open-air museum: lonely ancient burial mounds, stone Scythian women, created by ancient sculptors, have been preserved here. The reserve covers an area of ​​11 thousand hectares; adjoins a forest park with artificial ponds and canals, where many animals and birds live. More than 400 species of herbs and flowers grow in the AskanianRead completely ↓

I was in the reserve for the first time, very atmospheric, as if not in Ukraine) We also went on a safari, fed the animals. Clean, well-groomed, beautiful nature. Animals are not afraid of people, even roe deer approached us. You can either walk in the reserves yourself or rent a jeep for a safari - this gives a lot of emotions. I advise everyone to visit there)

We went to the reserve in early September. The trip turned out to be excellent, we absolutely did not regret that we chose this particular time of the year! Askania Nova is very well maintained, you can immediately see that the staff cares and loves every animal living there. We saw a lot of animals: llamas, alpacas did not even expect to see zebras)) Everyone is very friendly, they love attention and take pictures with pleasure. In general, we are very satisfied with the trip, we will advise all our friends!! !.

We visited the Askania-Nova Reserve with my family on August 20.2017. Despite the very long distance and the duration of the trip in one direction about 14 hours, were extremely pleased. The arboretum is very clean, many interesting plants, in hot weather you can hide from the sun. In the zoo, all the animals and birds look good, approach people to communicate. My little one really liked peacocks and peacocks, they looked just gorgeous. Excursion to the animals in the steppe - made an incredible impression on us.

Very cool place, families went on a tour. The best time to visit is spring and autumn. In summer it is very hot and everything looks dry.

One day is not enough to visit such a reserve. Dendropark is just wonderful. An impressive zoo where peacocks and other birds walk like at home - not in pens. There are representatives of the "Red Book". All prices are affordable. Tourist routes are organized on the territory of the reserve. But the infrastructure is not sufficiently developed, although there is everything you need.

The zoo is not of great interest, as well as the arboretum. But getting into the steppe was not so easy. The phone number from the site where you had to sign up for the tour did not answer. We did not fit into the first group, the second had to wait two and a half hours. We honestly waited, but she did not get enough (10 people are needed). As we learned, excursions are held on the UAZ-e "loaf".
