5-Star Canadian Wilderness Safari | The River Outpost

Four kilometers south of the home ranch, the Siwash River Outpost beckons for a day-long escape into the wild. Our site features over one kilometer's length of meandering river front. Families or couples may add this Siwash signature experience onto their ranch stay to experience their own private and bespoke Canadian wilderness safari.

The trip down to the river from Siwash is 1½ - 3 hours, based on guest preference, and same for the way back, following a different path. On route you'll journey through the after effects of the wildfire that swept through in summer of 2017 and learn all about this rare and unique ecosystem.

Safari to the Siwash River Outpost on horseback.

Travel by horseback, 4WD, mountain bike, or on foot — the choice is yours!

Our trails weave in and out of wildfire affected areas and islands of lush green refugia — plenty of pristine forest and meadows that escaped the flames. You will also see secluded wilderness lakes that attract various waterfowl and wildlife, and wide open range with expansive grasslands.

At the river, you will have a couple of hours to explore and relax during this authentic adventure in the wilds. If you arrived on horseback, your guide will take off bridles and loosen cinches so that your trusty mounts can be haltered and rest quietly nearby.

Your trusty mount awaits while you play at the River.

And discover what lazy river inner tube floats are all about — a ton of fun for the whole family!
