Visiting Berezinsky
People come to Berezinsky reserve literally from all over the world. Categories of these visitors vary greatly, they may be student volunteers from France, tourists from Switzerland or Minister of Mineral Resources of South Africa visiting Berezinsky as part of the official mission. Notwithstanding all different reasons and purposes of these visits there is usually a common denominator that is present in all of them — it is truly unique nature of the reserve that attracts most of these visitors.
Thus, the two main groups of people to come are scientists who find here endless avenues of unadulterated nature to study and explore and ecotourists, for the moment, mainly from Europe wishing to glimpse genuine European wildlife and natural habitats gone or almost gone elsewhere.
Another separate subset of foreign visitors is hunters. Technically, they come to the reserve only for accommodation, as their activities take place in the hunting grounds. These hunting grounds — with territories although adjacent, being totally separate from the reserve’s territory — are managed by the reserve and the tourism department provides all-inclusive prepackaged hunting tours.
