Jaguar Safari Pantanal, Brazil
Jaguar Safari
Our trips here depart from Cuiaba (CGB), Brazil.
On the day of the start of the safari, we meet you at the airport or hotel to begin the journey.
We recommend arriving early in the morning, no later than 11.00. We prefer an early departure to go from Cuiaba to Poconé which will take about 1.5 hours (100 km).
From the capital of the Pantanal (Poconé) we continue our route on the Transpantaneira for 147 km towards Porte Jofre. Since it is a small road, the drive takes about 3.5-4 hours.
After this long drive, it is a boat ride of up to 2 hours to the lodge.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the price.
About our jaguar safari
The best time for jaguars is from late May to mid-November during the dry season. During the dry season, water levels are low, temperatures are warm, and many wild animals, including the jaguar, are found near the rivers. It provides excellent opportunities to observe and photograph the jaguars. All our jaguar safaris are carried out by boat from Porte Jofre. The region near Porte Jofre has the highest density of jaguars in the world. In addition to jaguars, we will encounter a variety of other wild animals such as caiman, capybara, howler monkey, giant river otters and a variety of bird species.

About our jaguar safari
- We use boats with a canopy and offer sun protection
- Our boats are low, almost level with the surface of the water, great for getting low angles in wildlife photography.
- We bring a picnic lunch on the boat, that way we don't lose time going back to the lodge around 11 and return around 15. We have lunch in the jaguar's prime habitat or at a sightseeing spot where we enjoy every moment . We spend 10-12 hours per day on the river looking for jaguars.
- Our guides are all local who grew up in the Pantanal with a great passion for nature and trained to position the boats for the best photographic opportunities. We guide for photographers from National geographic, NHK Tokyo and Smithsonian.
- On our group tours we have a maximum of 6 people, which ensures enough space on the boat for equipment and to move around for the best photo position.
