Rustic Comfortable Lodging in the Northern Wilderness

Amenities

Nanuk Polar Camp is a NEW destination offered by Churchill Wild, and as such, it is not yet as luxurious as our other three lodges. But it is perfectly comfortable, with fireplace in the main lodge, good beds, and full bathrooms in each heated cabin. Our big plus is bears, more polar bears than you are likely to encounter anywhere else on Earth!

Here are a few of the features at Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge:

• Cozy fireplace lounge for relaxation and storytelling
• Four, two-bedroom guest cabins with private washrooms
• Perimeter fencing and 24 hour safety patrol
• No tourists or lodges within 100 miles 
• Satellite telephone.
• Viewing towers to watch and photograph bears
• Large windows overlooking the coast, and passing bears
• Fabulous food – each meal is taken from our famous northern cookbook series 'Blueberries and Polar Bears'
• Honda ATV's and deluxe touring trailers with emphasis on comfort, safety and environmental low impact

• Bring plenty of Film and or digital memory capacity, with perhaps extra for backup. You can charge all your camera equipment in your cabin. Over-estimate the capacity you will need then double it! Some guests use 80 rolls of film. One guest recently shot 20 rolls of film in two hours!
