Samar Magic Tours LLC-National Ecovolunteer Agency
Ecovolunteers who want to participate in the project are very Welcome!. The project depends on the help of ecovolunteers, as it is difficult for them to collect enough data otherwise. You can participate in the activities mentioned on the previous page. During the research you can enjoy the beautiful nature of the Mongolian steppe. When you participate in this project, you will be surprised how much you can learn about nature by observing very accurately. You may indicate your preferred dates of arrival and departure yourself, provided that you allow for a minimum period of participation of 10 – 20 days or of three weeks (21 days) for the Przewalski’s horses project in Mongolia.
National Ecovolunteer Agency-Additional arrangements support: We also organise wilderness Horseback treks, Ecotravel, Birdwatching & Nature, Adventure, Gobi desert Tours & Expeditions and can arrange tour extensions to other parts of Mongolia.
