Brazil - Just Jaguars! Traveller Reviews

I have lived in Zambia for 22 years so I have seen and experienced a lot of wildlife and birdings, but this trip into Pantanal was a magic dream come through for me. I had such close and marvolous sightings of jaguars, otters, great Anteaters and tapir, and not to m ention all the birds. I believe we saw 199 different birds with out fantastic guide. Everything was well planned and thought out for our trip from travelling plans to lodges and the amount of days on each. I would really recommend this trip to anybody that want to go and see something a bit differenty from African safaries.

Excellent tour operator. Well planned, superior guides and fantastic accomondation. My first with Nature Trek, and I would love to travel again with them.

We travelled to the Pantanal in Brazil in search of Jaguars and this trip not only delivered but exceeded my expectations. We spent three days at the Jaguar Flotel and on our journey back to Porto Jofre our guide Paulo spotted movement in the dense undergrowth on the river bank. It turned out to be a female jaguar with a young cub. The cub had not previously been seen and as the guide is not allowed to choose a name our group had the immense privelige of naming the cub. We stayed in three lodges, all very good and the food was lovely and plentiful. We had wonderful sightings of Jaguars and other wildlife that inhabit this area, along with amazing bird life. I would be very happy to recommend this trip to anyone with an interest in wildlife.

I have travelled with Naturetrek now on several occasions and have enjoyed every single one. In my opinion they always deliver.

I have travelled extensively during the last 15 years and have seen many wonderful places and animals but seeing Jaguars in the wild was certainly an experience to be treasured for the rest of my life.

Marcus was a very knowledgeable guide. Extremely dedicated to his subject and I think we all enjoyed his company and guidance

Very well organised with excellent guides. Accommodation at first lodge was really great with excellent food and very nice staff. Second lodge not so good but Naturetrek actively trying to sort out which is good. It was a great experience and I learnt a lot about birds - not being a birdwatcher but being surrounded by them does tend to wear off on to you! All together a great holiday.

Well organised and pleasant but need to strongly consider much better discounts on multiple bookings. Have gone elsewhere for two other holidays because of this. Can't understand why they would not want to negotiate on £14000.00 worth of business!

The holiday to The Pantanal area of Brazil was an amazing wildlife experience. We travelled mainly in an open truck, and started viewing wildlife within a short time of leaving the airport, we saw 172 species of birds including several sightings of the magnificent Hyacinth Macaws. Staying on the Flotel was an ideal base to travel the water ways to see Jaguars and other wildlife of the area. Our Tour Guide Marcos Felix, was extremely knowledgeable and was keen for his clients to see what the Pantanal had to offer.

Naturetrek, organized a very good tour. Transfers were good and on time. An add-on to Iguazu National Park was well organized with a personalized birding guide to take care of us. We would recommend Naturetrek as good wildlife Tour Operator.

An absolutely fabulous 2 week trip into the Pantanal region of Brazil, primarily to search for Jaguars although we also picked off the bizarre Giant Anteater and Giant River Otters.

The trip was very well organised and the local guides provided were excellent with very in depth knowledge of their subject matters. All of our requests were professionally handled, including the addition of a customised pre-tour extension to visit Rio de Janeiro. I have already booked my next trip with Naturetrek.

A truly great nature watching experience in a very exciting country.

Nature Trek is a true expert.

A fantastic holiday with wonderful sightings of Jaguars, not to mention Giant Anteaters, Caiman, Capybara, Tayra, Agouti, Crab eating fox and the beautiful Giant River Otters. The birds are simply stunning and plentiful. Basic accommodation as you would expect in a remote environment but good food and air conditioning, essential in the heat and humidity. The road into the Pantanal is rough and dusty so a degree of fitness is required for this totally amazing holiday experience.

Very proffessional company, organisation both in the Uk and abroad are excellent. This is the third time I have travelled with them. The guides used are superb and very knowledgeable.

Tour of the Pantanal region of Brazil watching and photographing wildlife. Particularly good and frequent sightings of Jaguars along with a good range of other mammals, reptiles, amphibeans and birds.

Very well organised tour with a very knowledgeable local guide.
