TOUR SUMMARY
This is an ultimate wildlife photography safari to the Northern Pantanal of Brazil. These floodplains are one of the best wildlife destinations in Latin America. We will have the chance to photograph Jaguars, Giant anteaters, and Giant River Otters.
Our itinerary comes with a twist. Besides spending 5 nights at Porto Jofre, the capital of “Jaguarland”, with some luck we will have the chance to see and photograph two iconic mammals too, the giant anteater and the maned wolf.
This holiday is perfect for someone who is looking for a full-on photography safari where mammals and birds are in focus. The accommodation is clean, but quite rustic.
