YOUR GUIDE

Dani Hamm wildlife photographer

Dani Hamm is a Colorado-based wildlife photographer and photography guide dedicated to ethical practices and conservation storytelling.

TOUR SUMMARY

The floodplains of the Brazilian Pantanal is the best place for seeing jaguars in their natural habitats. During the dry season (May to October) these big cats frequently visit the river banks for hunting, mating and resting which creates extraordinary chances of photographing them. The jaguars of the Pantanal are habituated, and therefore you will have more time and better chances to photograph their activity.

These wetlands are home to an array of mammals, reptiles and birds. Our photography expedition with Dani Hamm is focusing on this incredible part of Brazil to capture its wildlife.
