Full day excursion with the Jaguar observation project
The Jaguar observation and conservation project are dedicated to the ongoing preservation of the Jaguars native habitat, and protection of the animals themselves. This visit offers the rare chance to spend the day with the team, seeing first-hand the work that they do, and with any luck spotting one of these elusive big-cats along the way. During the day, much time will be spent seeking out individually known Jaguars, to check up on their health and progress. This will involve hunting for signs of their presence, clues as to ward their direction of travel, checking the footage on previously set camera traps and even following satellite data emitted from tracking devices on the reserves collared Jaguars. For those brave enough, there will even be a chance to track the animals on foot, once signs been identified by the lodges in-house specialist conservationists. Having spent the day with the team, learning the progress and success of the project, the second outing will come this evening as the sun begins to set. Typically, this is the best time to spot any predatory wildlife in the area, as it is usually their hunting time, with Jaguars being no exception. As darkness falls, return to the Lodge for a well-earned evening meal.
