Om oss

We are a reindeer herding family that has been engaged in reindeer herding for as long as history can show. We follow the reindeer herd the whole year from winter pastures to summer pastures, and for each of the eight seasons we have in the year, we have different tasks that need to be done, tasks that are particularly related to reindeer herding. You are welcome to visit for a cup of coffee or perhaps a traditional Sami meal of reindeer meat. In the summer, you can join us for a traditional riverboat trip with the world’s longest Sami riverboat, and in the winter, a reindeer sledding tour.

The company Čávžo Safari was established to tell guests the story of the village Máze, about  the threat of flooding the village and the demonstrations around this.  You can read more about the demonstration here. (Alta case – political conflict 1968-1982 – Store norske leksikon). Our ancestors played a central role in the demonstration; they wanted to protect their home village and reindeer grazing lands for future generations. We believe they would be happy to see that today’s generation still wants to further develope the village.
