Jaguar Photo Tours

 The northern Pantanal has the highest density of jaguars in the world, we recommend patience and dedication. To search for jaguars is not easy,  jaguars blend into the environment perfectly. An experienced guide is very important to increase the rate of success in finding Jaguar Photo Tours and photographing them. We discovered early on that exploring by boat is the optimal way to approach jaguars due to its quiet nature. An experienced guide is the success factor during a jaguar safari. Understanding the jaguar and anticipating its behavior is key. Active scanning, interpreting behavior, and anticipating what could happen makes the difference between a regular image or the Shot of a lifetime. Patience is the second factor of a successful strategy for great jaguar images. Many operators stay only a short while at a jaguar sighting or leave when another sighting is called over the radio. Occasionally, we go to another sighting but in most instances, we decide to wait for a single jaguar we spotted in the brush. All boats are gone to look for other jaguars or go back to the lodge for lunch, but we end up with action shots by simply waiting. Our experience proves that patience pays off.

The whole dry season is great for jaguar photography. Each month shows a slightly different facet to the experience. The month of June is early in the season, which means there are very few boats on the river. In June, many jaguars return to the prime hunting grounds when the water level is getting low again. In June there is also an abundance of caiman, and the chance of seeing jaguars hunt caiman in the open is much higher compared to other months. The rise of temperature forces the wildlife to spend more time drinking or cooling down near the water. From mid-October, visitors may experience interesting and different weather situations and have a more private experience around jaguar sightings.
