点评:Simply put, this was a superb experience; one that photographers (non and pro alike) should place on their bucket list. The team at Wild Jaguar Safaris, Sebastiaan, Lucas and Juliana, saw to it that the entire itinerary (as well as our extension) to the Pantanal was well planned out and taken care of. From the moment we arrived at Cuiaba through being returned to the airport, we were well in the hands of the team. The cost of the trip was extraordinarily reasonable. The ride along the river was eye opening and the wildlife experiences were unbelievable. The six nights at the lodge on the river were quite sufficient. The food was quite good and all accommodations were better than I anticipated (standard, not luxurious). The boats along the river do get quite hectic at times, but our "driver" was able to position us in good locations often. You can anticipated crowded conditions at sightings.
With all the boats on the river, especially at sightings, I've learned that patience is key, similar to joining any wildlife safari.
Overall, this was a tremendous experience due to the professionalism and friendliness of the staff.
The accommodations on the 10 night itinerary ...
Porto Jofre Pantanal Lodge ... 7 nights ... Basic, but clean and friendly
Jaguar ECO Reserve Lodge ... 1 night ... Upscale ... Superb for birders
Piuval Lodge ... 2 nights ... Upscale ... check out the anteaters !!
翻译:简而言之,这是一次绝佳的体验;无论专业摄影师还是业余摄影爱好者,都应将此行程列入自己的心愿单。Wild Jaguar Safaris的团队——塞巴斯蒂安、卢卡斯和朱莉安娜——精心规划并妥善安排了整个行程,包括我们在潘塔纳尔地区的额外游览。从我们抵达库亚巴那一刻起,直到被送回机场,全程都有他们的悉心照料。这次旅行的费用也相当合理。沿河航行的体验令人大开眼界,与野生动物的邂逅更是不可思议。在河畔小屋度过的六个夜晚也相当充实。食物很不错,所有住宿条件也超出了我的预期(属于标准水平,算不上豪华)。河上的船只有时确实会非常拥挤,不过我们的“船夫”总能帮我们找到不错的观景位置。在观赏野生动物时,可以预料到会有很多人聚集在一起。
由于河上有大量船只,尤其是在观赏点附近,情况更是如此。我体会到,耐心至关重要,这就如同参加任何一次野生动物探险之旅一样。
总体而言,由于工作人员的专业素养与友善态度,这次旅行是一次极为美妙的体验。
为期10晚的行程中安排的住宿如下:
Porto Jofre Pantanal Lodge……住7晚……设施简单,但干净且氛围友好。
Jaguar ECO Reserve Lodge……住1晚……高档酒店……对观鸟爱好者来说堪称绝佳之选。
Piuval Lodge……住2晚……高档酒店……一定要去看看大食蚁兽哦!!
