SouthWild Jaguar Extreme Safari program in the Brazil Pantanal
7 Days - 6 Nights
- Based on Double Occupancy
Explore Jaguarland at the Southwild Jaguar Retreat and the SouthWild Pantanal Lodge for 7D/6N Starting at $4,990.00 per person.
The SouthWild Reserve covers 3,025 hectares (7,467 acres), making it the largest privately-owned Jaguar conservation area on the Three Brothers River, the most Jaguar-rich watershed in the world.
This reserve also includes 100% of the neighboring, Jaguar-packed “Black Channel” (“Corixo Negro” in Portuguese}, a locality that appears on many online Jaguar reports.
Jaguar Suites and Jaguar Retreat are the two Jaguar bases, located in the eastern and northern sections of Jaguarland, respectively. Each location offers exclusive SouthWild methods for offering you private viewing of Jaguars, far from the logjam of boats that develops at Jaguar sightings on the Black Channel and in the lowest 25 bends of the Three Brothers River.
Both Jaguar Suites and Jaguar Retreat feature resident SouthWild Jaguar Naturalists giving SouthWild’s exclusive scientific lectures and maintaining SouthWild’s unique, thirteen-year-old Jaguar ID guide. This amazing, painstaking dossier documents the spot patterns of 143 wild Jaguars, of which visitors see an average of 2.5-3 cats per day and a total of approximately 46 different cats in each May-though-December “Jaguar Season”.
Jaguar Suites features private Jaguar viewings on the Piquiri River, while Jaguar Retreat offers private Jaguar viewings far up the Three Brothers River.
The Jaguar Extreme program include 2 nights at the SouthWild Pantanal Lodge and 4 nights at the Jaguar Retreat. Staying at both lodging you will have great chances of seeing caimans, capybaras, jaguars, giant otters, ocelots, foxes, over a hundred bird species and a lot more.
This trip is available from June through November 15th.
