PANTANAL CAMPING TOURS & OVERLAND SAFARIS

 

WILDERNESS & WILDLIFE ADVENTURE ECO TOURS
 
EXCLUSIVE, CUSTOMIZED TOURS FOR COUPLES, FAMILIES AND SMAL GROUPS
Discover the Pantanal of Mato Grosso
off the beaten path

We believe that to really see and appreciate the diversity on offer in the Pantanal we need to take you off the beaten track on a journey through its different regions and ecosystems and our Pantanal Camping Tours & Expeditions are the perfect way to do this. Our camping tours will take you on a circuit through many different regions or right across the area, stopping at a variety of camping spots en route rather than being centered around one campsite from which everyone takes short excursions. Our camps are normally bush camps where you will really be able to feel the wonders and beauty of the Pantanal with the odd stop in a family house or lodge for a little bit of comfort if required en route. Being fully equipped for such camping trips we can make the itinerary as demanding and rugged as you want or add a few comforts en route to keep you going. You let us know your interests and we will consider the local conditions and time of year to create your own camping safari into the Pantanal. On this nomadic camping adventure through the Pantanal you will really feel the richness and diversity of the region and get a chance to meet some of its more elusive inhabitants as you truly venture into the wilderness. We are one of the few companies that can take you wherever you want to go in the Pantanal whether you want to intimately discover a particular part of the region or launch an expedition to cross the whole region.
