1.The best time to do a Pantanal Wildlife Holiday.

The best period to do a Pantanal Holiday is from June to November.

Is when the level of water gets lowest and animals including Jaguars get closer to the rivers to rest, drink water and hunt.

To arrive for your Pantanal wildlife holiday you have to buy a flight into Marechal Rondon Airport, in the city of Cuiabá, the Capital of Mato Grosso in the center of Brazil and the gateway to the Pantanal. 

3.How many days stay? 

Minimum of 8 nights and 9 days. 

You can choose fewer days, but we do not recommend you to do that if you want to have a special pantanal wildlife time. 

At least 8 nights is the minimum to get different and single sightings of different animal species. 

4.Where to go on my Pantanal Trip? 

You may have to go to Northern Pantanal, Porto Jofre where you will only be 10 min from the Meeting of the Water state park

Northern Pantanal, Porto Jofre was mentioned by Wanderlust, one of the biggest websites about travel advice as the best place to see and photograph wild jaguars in the world. 

But also you can divide your trip in different locations in the Pantanal. 

Pantanal has many different areas to visit and to get as many animal species as possible, you can divide your time between two or three different locations. 

In porto Jofre you will see the jaguars, giant river otters, monkeys and many different bird species.

But to get more animal species, you may have to stay at least in one more location. 

Dividing your trip in different locations will give you the possibility of seeing animals like the giant anteater, tapir and much more.

5.What is the best time to see Jaguars hunting?

The best time to see jaguars hunting is from the beginning of August to the end of october.

It’s the apex of the dry season and in consequence caimans and capybaras get unprotected by flood waters.

If you are a photographer and are looking for a good opportunity to photograph a jaguar hunting a caiman, choose to do your pantanal wildlife holiday in the period of beginning of August to the end of October. 

6.How to choose the company with the right equipment?

Maybe this is the best tip that I will give to you. Choosing the company with the right equipment is the key to having the best Pantanal Wildlife Holiday. 

During the Jaguar Safari you will spend sometimes all day out shooting and your boat has to be comfortable enough to not have a bad time out. 

Is extreme important to have a right boat with good opportunities of different picture angles.

Also, Pantanal has a very warm climate and during the dry season the weather can get above 48ºc.
