The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland, a vast mosaic of rivers, lagoons and flooded grasslands sprawling across the heart of Brazil. It is the finest place on Earth to see wild jaguars, which patrol the riverbanks in remarkable numbers, alongside giant otters, capybara, caiman, tapir and a dazzling array of birdlife from hyacinth macaws to toucans. As part of Royal Ngala's international expedition division, our Pantanal journeys bring the same expert guiding and conservation ethos we are known for across Africa to one of South America's most awe-inspiring wildernesses. An unforgettable adventure for wildlife and photography enthusiasts. The best time to visit is July to October, the dry season when jaguar sightings along the rivers are at their peak.
