“The Pantanal was the highlight of our holiday with excellent jaguar sightings. There were 10 of us on the Mutum Expeditions boat and we had 2 trips each day from the boat - around 6am to 12pm and 2:30pm to 6pm. We were lucky and had our own guide and boat for excursions so we could stop where we wanted for as long as we wanted. It was quite a long journey from the main boat to the area for jaguars, but we had some excellent sightings which included two brothers swimming, and being able to see a pregnant jaguar with nobody else around. Another highlight was observing a family of giant river otters playing and fishing for around 40 minutes, again with no other boats around. Our trip was complete when 2 jaguars crossed the road in the distance as we were driving back to Cuiaba! It was a very friendly boat, the food was good and the cabins adequate.”
