About
We are a social enterprise running wildlife safaris in the beautiful Loch Ewe area of the northwest Scottish Highlands. We aim to have safaris to suit everyone, from an hour to a day. Our safaris are educational, learning about the plants, insects, birds, fish and mammals of the area, and if we're lucky we might even spot one of our iconic species; red squirrel, otter, white-tailed sea eagle, red deer, black throated diver and lots more.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a fantastic walk around some rainforest in Inverewe with Tracy, who was very knowledgeable and interesting. Me and my wife both learned a lot , spotting signs of red squirrels, different plant and bird species and a greater understanding of the eco system in rainforests, great value for money and a must for anyone who is interested in nature. Many thanks to our guide Tracy 🙂

We booked the hour long otter workshop. Tracy was very responsive from first contact. She is extremely knowledgeable but very approachable, and we all felt we had expanded our understanding about these elusive aquatic animals. We didn’t see any otters during our time with Tracy, but we spent some time on the shoreline looking for clues, which we will use in earnest from now on in order to spot one!
Tracy is very passionate about wildlife, conservation and rewilding, and we left with a greater understanding of the pressures that wildlife faces in the local area. She operates as a social enterprise, giving profits to local wildlife trusts. We felt humbled by her contribution to wildlife and would thoroughly recommend booking an experience with Wild Ewe Safaris.

We had a wonderful time on a Rainforest safari with Tracy. The trip was perfectly tailored to grown ups and children alike and we all really enjoyed getting so close to some amazing trees, lichen and moss. The children in particular loved using their own hand lens and have already added one to their Christmas list! Thanks again for a really enjoyable trip.

We got in touch with Tracy pretty last minute but she was very responsive and was able to offer us a shoreline tour the next day.
We all really enjoyed the tour, with some very interested facts and opened our eyes to all the nature around.
She pitched the talk wonderfully to the young kids and to us adults. The kids really did take a lot from it.
We would highly recommend one of Tracy’s tours, especially great that she offers a range of options. Tracy is knowledgeable but also very nice too. Thank you!

We had a private safari (gentle walk along the River Ewe) and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fascinating learning about the journey of the salmon and looking at all the different lichens, watching the birds and a red-breasted merganser diving in the river. Tracy has a brilliant gift for tailoring the safari to your interests and knowledge. She goes the extra mile and inspires you to want to learn more about nature. Definitely the best guided nature walk we have ever been on and not to be missed! Thank you so much Tracy!

Tracy took us on an enchanting walk through the temperate rainforest near Poolewe and was full of fascinating information about and insights into the extraordinary wildlife there. That evening I found myself writing down the more surprising things I'd learned that day and have resolved to read more on various subjects. Would strongly recommend, and I hope to do more tours with Tracy when we are next in the area.

Tracy and Roger were so knowledgeable and really pitched the information right for the group (age 3 - 50). Definitely recommend for a gentle but informative walk.

Thanks for a fantastic, informative and fun Otter Safari today. We thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt loads….who knew otters breed all year 😃. Or that otter poo smells like tea! 🤣. Tracy’s knowledge of, and passion for, all the local flora and fauna shone through and made for a great afternoon. Fantastic value for money (kids go free), no time pressure, and binoculars included to help with sightings 😃. A very worthwhile local conservation project: well done! Springwatch should pay Poolewe a visit. Meanwhile we’re off otter spotting with our new skills!

Tracy was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We throughly enjoyed the safari and left feeling we had a greater understanding of the local wild animals/birds but also about the whole Celtic Rainforest.
We love the fact that wild Ewe Safaris are a Social Enterprise. It is great value for Tracy’s time and knowledge alone but we also discovered that she donates a percentage to wildlife charities.
We could not recommend this more! A great fun morning for everyone.

Absolutely loved this. I booked with Tracey for an Otter Workshop with my 10 year old and 15 year old. We met at a wildlife hide where she shared her impressive knowledge for a very informative session about otters. We now know all about these lovely animals and how to spot them, learning all about otters, from their runs in the grass to smelling their poo! Tracey took us outside to look closely at their tracks, who would have thought how big their paws are! The session was only meant to be one hour but Tracey was kind enough to give us a lot more of her time and answered all our questions about not only otters but all the amazing birds we saw from the hide. We didn't see otters on that session but that is luck of the draw, we did see lots of other wildlife so we weren't disappointed. Thank you Tracey.
