After our early morning wake up call at 5.00 a.m we set of by torchlight to the meeting point. Here we climbed aboard the lodge’s jeeps and drove by the light of the full moon down to the river Tawa. As dawn was breaking we walked across the floating bridge to the National Park’s jeeps…
Pantanal’s 5 Kingfishers
The main focus of our trip to Brazil and the Panatal was to see Jaguars. However, we had been told that the birds of this area were stunning. It is a paradise for birders and photographers. There are over 600 species to see and very few humans to disturb them. It’s often possible to get fairly close to…
Along the Transpantaneira Highway
Today we were returning to the Transpantaneria Highway in the hope of finding the one target species that had eluded us, the Giant Anteater. The morning was off to a good start as before breakfast a Crab Eating Fox paid a visit to the lodge to scavenge for scraps from the kitchen. As it’s name…

Brazil – Just Jaguars
The Journey On the 29th October 2018 we set off on our Naturetrek, small group wildlife holiday to Brazil’s Pantanal, in search of jaguars.

Second Day at Imbali Lodge. We woke up at the lodge to the sound of Baboons running across the roof of the chalet. Quietly opening the doors to the terrace we were in time to see the Baboons. They were jumping from the tree onto our terrace and then down into the dry ditch. One…
