Taurus Mountains

The Taurus Mountains, known as Toros in the Turkish vernacular, stand as a majestic range in the Mediterranean expanse of Turkey. Spanning a considerable distance of approximately 560 kilometers (348 miles), these majestic peaks align themselves parallel to the captivating coastline, effectively delineating the southern boundary of the renowned Anatolian plateau. Originating at the westernmost segment of the illustrious Great Himalayas, this formidable chain of undulating terrain constitutes Turkey's second most prominent cluster of folded mountains, following the esteemed Pontus mountain range. Commencing its ascent from the ethereal Egridir Lake in the western quadrant, this awe-inspiring geological marvel gracefully extends eastward, tracing a majestic arc until it reaches the elevated reaches bordering the magnificent Euphrates (Firat) River. In an intriguing twist of fate, its northeastern extension near the bustling metropolis of Adana is aptly referred to as the Anti-Taurus, symbolizing its contrasting character and distinctiveness.

Brye Mangum / OI Draw Winner

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.

Dason Lasater / OI Draw Winner

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
