点评:We had a wonderful time during our 5-day (4-day safari) experience with Journey with Jaguars! We initially booked the tour with the hopes of seeing jaguars in the Pantanal, but we ended up seeing more than we ever expected. Booking was quick and straightforward, and Ben and his team were incredibly responsive. Communication before the tour was excellent, and we were all picked up safely for our group tour, with all of the logistics coordinated seamlessly.
On the safari, we saw so many incredible animals! Jaguars were a huge highlight, but it was also wonderful to see other species, including giant river otters, tapirs, capybaras, caimans, and numerous bird species. Each day, we witnessed different jaguar behaviors, with one particular highlight being a jaguar successfully catching a caiman right in front of us!
Our guide, Dani, was absolutely incredible! She had a vast knowledge of the Pantanal's biology and was patient and kind enough to answer all of our questions (especially my extensive questions about birds). She inspired our group's passion for the wildlife through her own enthusiasm and knowledge—I couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Ico, our boat driver, was also incredibly valuable for tracking and spotting jaguars. Our boat always seemed to be positioned in exactly the right place at the right time (including for the jaguar hunt) thanks to him!
Suggestions: Before booking, definitely read the "Before You Book" information on their website. The days are quite long and hot, so this tour wouldn't be for everyone. For photographers, it's helpful to bring a dry bag, as it occasionally rains in the area. I'd also recommend bringing a charging block, as power in the region can be spotty. My camera batteries would only charge reliably using the charging block.
My favorite moments, however, were when I put the camera down and simply enjoyed the experience—especially being just feet away from a mother jaguar and her cubs. It was an unforgettable trip, and I would highly recommend Journey With Jaguars to anyone looking for an incredible wildlife experience!
翻译:我们与“Journey with Jaguars”一同度过了愉快的5天旅程(其中4天为狩猎之旅)!起初我们预订此行程是希望能在潘塔纳尔地区看到美洲豹,结果我们看到的远比预期要多。预订流程快速又简便,本先生及其团队响应极为迅速。行程前的沟通也十分顺畅,我们整个团队都被安全接载,所有行程安排也都执行得井然有序。
在狩猎之旅期间……我们看到了太多令人惊叹的动物!美洲豹绝对是最大的亮点,不过能见到其他物种也同样美妙,比如巨水獭、貘、水豚、凯门鳄,还有各种各样的鸟类。每天我们都能观察到美洲豹的不同行为,最令人难忘的一幕就是一只美洲豹当着我们的面成功捕到了一只凯门鳄!
我们的向导丹尼简直太棒了!她对潘塔纳尔地区的生物知识了如指掌,还极有耐心且和蔼可亲,耐心解答了我们所有的疑问(尤其是我提出的那些关于鸟类的种种问题)。她以自己的热忱与学识激发了我们团队对野生动物的热爱——我再也无法奢求一位比她更优秀的向导了。
我们的船夫伊科在追踪和发现美洲豹方面也发挥了至关重要的作用。多亏了他,我们的船总能恰好在正确的时间出现在正确的位置上(包括猎捕美洲豹的时候)!
建议:预订前一定要仔细阅读他们网站上的“预订前须知”。当地的白天很长且非常炎热,因此这项旅游项目并不适合所有人。对于摄影爱好者来说,最好带上防水袋,因为该地区偶尔会下雨。另外,鉴于当地电力供应不太稳定,我建议也带上充电器。我的相机电池只有通过充电块才能正常充电。
不过,最让我难忘的时刻还是当我放下相机、单纯享受当下体验的时候——尤其是当我距离一只母美洲豹及其幼崽只有几英尺之遥时。这是一次难忘的旅程,我强烈推荐“与美洲豹同行”之旅给任何渴望体验精彩野生动物之旅的人!
