Wildlife Safaris in South America
JAGUARS in The Pantanal
This safari is a perfect combination of mammal and bird watching combining the adrenalin
rush of searching by speedboat for the elusive Jaguar whilst taking in the sight and songs of a
fabulous selection of exotic birds including Hyacinth macaws, golden-collared macaw, Mato
Grosso antbird, white-lored spinetail, fawn-breasted wren, jabiru, large-billed antwren,
helmeted manakin, great rufous woodcreeper, plumbeous ibis, rufous casiornis, long-tailed
ground-dove, pale-crested woodpecker, Ringed Kingfisher, and Amazon Kingfisher.
This Safari takes you in comfort to the wildest places to marvel at
the most spectacular wildlife of South America.
Jaguars in the Pantanal weigh up to 350 pounds (150 kilos), while the same species in the
Amazon or Central America reaches only 160 pounds (73 kilos). Normally almost impossible to
see in Belize or Amazon, at our site in north-central Pantanal, a "Jaguar Miracle" has occurred.
Since 2000, strict protection from hunting and abundant Caimans and Capybaras on the
riverbanks have made Jaguars uniquely easy to see on 95% of the days in the low water season,
often for several hours per day. Jaguars have been shown to guests more than 3,500 times
since we first guaranteed Jaguar viewing in 2006.
