Discover the Pantanal, the largest wetland in the Americas and the place with the highest density of jaguars in the world. We specialise in Pantanal jaguar safaris, exploring the Cuiaba river and it’s tributaries to track and photograph the majestic big cat, the jaguar.
Are you planning for a jaguar photography tour, a family safari or interested in designing a custom Pantanal jaguar safari, we got you covered. With extensive knowledge about the Pantanal, a passion for wildlife photography and our local expert guides from the Pantanal, we provide you with the latest news, opportunities and the best options for your Pantanal trip.
Understanding your requirements and dreams and translating that into a well thought through safari itinerary, is what we do. We understand what is important for a wildlife photographer or a family.
Small group tours, private tours or special jaguar photography tours limited to 4-persons in a group to ensure space for your camera gear and yourself to capture that unique jaguar moment. We think for you, so you can just enjoy and relax.
Our eye for detail goes beyond the planning of an itinerary, we execute our safari using modern and reliable cars and custom built boats with removable swivel chairs, allowing to change the seating plan and importantly a canopy to protect against the sun and heat.
We offer as well solutions to maximise your time in the field on safari by offering chartered planes to fly-in and out of the Pantanal.
We pride ourselves working with experienced local guides, one by one experts in spotting wildlife and birdwatching. Multiple guides have experience guiding for international documentary makers and professional photographers.
Our guides will show you the secrets of the Pantanal and the prime wildlife locations to experience the abundance of wildlife.
All our guides speak English and Portuguese and have great knowledge on the Pantanal’s Flora & Fauna, ecosystem and local population and tribes.
Out in the field looking for jaguars and other wildlife is the main activity of your trip. However, relaxing at the lodge after a safari at the swimming pool for a refreshing swim or in your room with a view on the Cuiaba river, makes the experience complete. Not to forget too taste and enjoy the great local and international cuisine that is being served paired with a refreshing drink.
We visit the best wildlife viewing locations in the Pantanal and lodges that offer great rooms, food and service.
Conservation is part of our jaguar safari approach.
As passionate nature lovers and photographers we feel a responsibility to support conservation programs and wildlife research initiatives. It provides us with an even greater understanding of the jaguar population and the health of the entire Pantanal ecosystem.
The jaguar is still facing threats, mainly from cattle farming and large plantations.
Luckily, due to tourism the value of the jaguar has gone up and more local communities understand the possibility to co-survive with the jaguar by offering nature tours.
We support jaguar research by donating a camera trap to the Jaguar identification Project for each client that books a tour with us. As a guest you will receive a jaguar identification guide to learn more about the jaguar and the individuals of the Northern Pantanal. The guide is purchased by us and that supports the project as well.
On our safari we have the option to request a presentation about the Jaguar identification project by one of the team members or founders (depend on availability of the project team members).
Spotting a jaguar is truly a breathtaking experience. This Apex predator of the Pantanal knows how to leave an impression. Their confidence both on land and in the water makes them amazing to observe and photograph. Where many of the big cats rest during the day, the jaguar is more active and an opportunistic hunter.
