TEAM 399 GRAND TETON AND YELLOWSTONE SAFARIS
We are Jack and Gina Bayles, the founders of Team 399. We live here year-round, sharing our love for the Tetons and Yellowstone with all of our safari guests.
We conduct half and full day tours in the Tetons all year, go to Yellowstone for a full day in season and offer custom multi day tours in both Grand Teton and Yellowstone all year.
You don’t need any camera equipment to enjoy our wildlife tours.
If you are a photographer, we welcome all skill and equipment levels and can give you as little or as much instruction as you like. We do stress ethical behavior around wildlife.
With two guides on most trips we are perfect for couples or families where some are photographers and some are not.
You’ve probably seen us on Facebook, Instagram and/or YouTube, following our adventures with the grizzlies, wolves, wildlife and scenery. Come ride with us and let us show you our world.
We lead every wildlife tour ourselves, ensuring that you receive the best experience possible.
We can take up to 10 people on a private single day adventure and will take up to 6 people on a private multi day adventure.
We provide spotting scopes, binoculars and reference material.
You will come away enlightened and entertained.
