VIDEOS OF PANTANAL JAGUAR SAFARIS

videos
Jaguar takes down large caiman

This video was filmed by our guest John Medlock & wildlife guide Leen Gillis in Porto Jofre in October, 2015. We found ourselves marvelled at this male jaguar power. 

Since 2013, all of our guests watched and photographed Jaguars on our Safaris
(minimum of 03 nights at Porto Jofre or Taiamã Reserve).

Jaguar killing caiman in Pantanal

In the recent years, the Pantanal has emerged as one of the best places in the world, if not the best place in the world, to watch and photograph Jaguars in the wild. Pantanal Jaguar Safaris takes his travelers to the realm of the Jaguars, into the depths of Pantanal, in search of this elusive cat along the rivers.

This video was taken in September 2013 during one of our Jaguar Safaris in the Meeting of the Waters State Park, Northern Pantanal.

Jaguars mating in the wild

Since 2013 all of our guests watched and photographed Jaguars at close range for extended periods (Minimum three nights at Porto Jofre or Taiamã Reserve). We can observe their daily activities from comfortable motorboats making the most of the Pantanal's photographic potential. 

This video footage was taken by André Moratelli in 2013. Our guests watched and photographed these Jaguars mating on the riverbanks of the Piquiri river for two and half hours.

 

 

TESTIMONIALS

Steve Brandon, Chattanooga, USA - Pantanal North & South July 2016

"Unbelievable experience!" written on TripAdvisor

We booked our trip through Pantanal Jaguar Safaris. Leen was extremely helpful in designing our tirp and booking all of the details (including sending shampoo and condiditoner with the bush plane pilot!) Andre was our guide. He has his own boat at Hotel Pantanal Norte - the only boat with a canopy -- up when needed against the sun and down when you need to be photographing jaguars and birds. Andre is very patient with nature staying with the jaguar to get some amazing shots. If you've been to Africa you know about "sundowners", we were not disappointed sitting on the boat in the middle of the river, sipping cocktails, watching the sun go down. Definitely recommend booking with Pantanal Jaguar Safaris.

Maria Berggard Sillow, Norway –  Pantanal Wetlands & Savannas, July 2014

I have nothing but the best to say about Pantanal Jaguar Safaris and their arrangements! Our family just arrived back home from our 10 day trip to the Pantanal visiting Rio Claro lodge, Porto Jofre (4 nights) Piuval lodge and Pousada do Park lodge in Chapada. As I am extremely interested in wildlife and consider myself quite knowledgeable for a non-professional my level of expectation on wildlife guides is very high and I am pleased to tell you that I was not once disappointed! We had Leen as our guide and both she and her husband André are trained biologists with profound knowledge about the area and the wildlife and a keen eye for spotting the animals. When it comes to understanding the needs of photographers, both have extensive experience.

"Fantastic trip with Pantanal Jaguar Safaris" written on TripAdvisor.

We chose Pantanal Jaguar Safaris to arrange our 15-day trip to Brazil on the basis of their excellent website and the positive TripAdvisor reviews and are very glad that we did! We would recommend them extremely highly to anyone thinking of visiting the Pantanal. Leen was extremely helpful and put together a fantastic personalised itinerary for us which completely suited our interests and resulted in an incredible and unforgettable experience. Our wonderful guide Fernando was absolutely outstanding. Fernando was extremely knowledgeable about all the wildlife and birds (we saw nearly 300 different species of bird during the trip) and his energy and enthusiasm ensured that we made the very most of the time we had available.
