“It was a really great trip, everything went excactly as planned and better and we saw more than I ever imagined (12 jaguars well, one with two cubs, two tapirs etc). Our driver was really good, as was our guide Zine.”

Essi Keskinen, Finland

“We had a wonderful stay in Brazil and were very impressed with the way that the whole trip had been organised. All the places we stayed at were professionally run with friendly and helpful staff. The staff who met us at airports and arranged transfers for us were also extremely helpful and all of the transfers went very smoothly. All in all we had a very nice time in a wonderful country and saw some amazing things. We were shown wildlife by knowledgeable guides, we saw an amazing variety of birds and mammals and really importantly we felt that all trips were done in an ecologically friendly way. We would happily recommend you to any other travelers planning to visit Brazil.”

Peter & Elizabeth Thompson, UK

“Everything went extremely well. All the lodges were comfortable and well staffed. Cristalino was the most beautiful lodge. We had very good guides there as well. Birding there far exceeded our expectations (which were quite high). Beneddito was an excellent guide, particularly in the Pantanal.”

Betsy & David Lang, USA

Marion & Tony Hoad, Australia

“Our trip was wonderful and your service was wonderful. Thank you very much. I honestly can't really think of anything that could have been done better. The guide in Bonito was excellent and fitted in an extra trip to Buraco das Araras that we asked to do, which we were so pleased about. We loved Refugio da Ilha. Lovely people, scenery and wildlife, it was exactly what we wanted and suited the children perfectly.”

Keleigh Smith, New Zealand

“Just wanted to tell you that uur trip to Bonito was amazing. André our guide was exceptional. Thank you very much.”

Mihi & Kim, Bora Bora

“Our tour at Aguape was excellent. Pousada was very comfortable and all the staff very kind,cooking very good and atmosphere lovely. The most beautiful thing of our vacation was Rodrigo:I told you we are seventy years old but he was very attentive with us without oppressing us but in a way that we did everything surely and happy. He is a very good guide. Thank you”

Giuseppina Cotugno, Italy

“We had a good trip to Refúgio Ecológico Caiman--thank you for arranging it. The variety of animals we saw was impressive--more than on my last trip to the Pantanal. In addition to jaguars, we saw ocelots, anteaters, a tapir, agouti, coatis, capybara, deer, white lipped peccaries and many, many birds.”

Mark Horn, USA

“The trip was fabulous and quite successful (we saw 10!! jaguars in 14 sightings). The organization was excellent, and all the transitions were very smooth. My friends were very impressed with the entire operation, and I will be strongly recommending use of BNT for the Pantanal and any other Brazilian trips people might have in mind. Thank you so much.”

Roz Salzman, USA

“We really loved the experience and all went well. Flight, accommodation and excursions were excellent. Special thanks to our guide Benedito, who was not only very friendly but by far the most competent guide we ever had in Brasil.”

Lutz Rohrmann, Germany

“This email is intended to let you know that we enjoyed our travels last week to Pantanal very much! The whole arrangement with transport and accommodation was well organized and worked out fine. It is really a nice part of Brazil and we can look back with great satisfaction. Thank you for arranging and taking good care.”

Christiaan Lavooij, Netherlands

“At the Jaguar Flotel and at Southwild Lodge we got excellent care regarding our photographic needs. The conditions at Barranco Alto were very good as well. We liked our stay there very much.”

Jürgen Niermann, Germany

“Just a short note to thank you for our marvellous tour to Pousada Aguape. Your guide, Rodrigo was amazing. His knowledge, sense of humour and sheer exuberance was infectious. He kept us engaged and amused for the entire time we were there. As the Italians say he was very simpatico. Pousada Aguape was tremendous. It was exactly the right fit for us and the rustic accommodation, the fabulous meals and the inventive excursions were all up our alley. We really loved every moment of our tour and were very sorry to wave Rodrigo goodbye at Campo Grande airport.”

John Carne, South Africa

“The trip was outstanding. The Pantanal is an amazing place. I reveled at the density of wildlife, every where I looked. It was remarkable how clean and tidy the small rural towns are maintained. Wish we had more of that in the U.S. Our guide, Ben, was fabulous. I appreciated his extensive education and science background. He was very professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in this type of tour, especially bird enthusiasts. Ben was remarkable at finding and pointing out hundreds of species.”

Tristan Lloyd, USA

Margaret and Dave Allison, New Zealand

“I just wanted to thank you for our trip to the Southern Pantanal and tell you how much we enjoyed it. Stefan is delightful company and a fantastic guide, we couldn’t have wished for a better guide. We had many amusing and informative discussions with him and he was always willing to help in any way he could – he is a great asset for your Company. The drivers were also very considerate and careful. Pousada Aguape was a great place to stay. The staff were very nice and helpful at all times. We saw many Giant Anteaters which were absolutely amazing and the birdlife was prolific. Thank you so much for organising such a special holiday for us,”

Sandra Godsell, Australia

“Just a quick message to let you know I had a really great time in Pousada Aguapé and that Lilian was awesome. Professional, competent, available, good english speaking, good driver, friendly and fun (which makes a big difference when you travel alone as I did :) ).”

Laureen Frauchiger, France

“I thought I would drop you a line to thank you for your help in arranging what was a wonderful trip. All of the internal flights and arrangements worked very smoothly indeed. The lodges we went to were ideal for what we wanted, and a special thank you for finding our guide, Bianca, who was wonderful. The variety of wildlife we saw was special - we were lucky enough to see a puma and maned wolf (!), as well as three jaguars and a tapir! Plus over 200 species of birds in the Pantanal. Many thanks,”

Andrew Benbow, UK

“We had a great time in Pantanal in the Posada Aguapè, where we found relax and deep contact with nature, together with excellent food made out of the products of the posada (to be mentioned the delicious dulce de leite...!!). We enjoyed the unique snorkeling in a Caribbean-like river in Bonito and the enchanting colours of the Grota do Lago Azul. We have been impressed by the magnificence of nature in the Iguassù falls and the hugeness of the Itaipu dam. For sure a kind of journey that enriched our cultural experience. Many thanks to BNT for the excellent and precise organization.”

Anna Pivato, Italy

“We are just back from Brazil, having spent the final few days in Rio. We had a terrific time-thank you for organizing it for us! Many thanks, and again, thanks for putting this very memorable trip together for us.”

Brian MacIntosh, Canada

“We have now returned home to Dublin – and I want to thank you for organising such a wonderful trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our travels through Brazil - and had a wonderful time exploring the various different locations. The arrangements were so well put together – everything was very well co-ordinated. And each of the venues offered different and exciting experiences – each one a surprise! I’m not sure we can identify which place we like more than another – it was all great.”

Ellen Hazelkorn, Ireland

“We wilden nog even kwijt dat we erg hebben genoten en dat het top geregeld was met accomodaties vervoer en gidsen. Erg leuk vonden we ook de informatie en kennis die de gidsen gaven over het gebied en de dieren. Het enthousiasme waarmee Rodrigo vertelde was geweldig, top gids en een fijn persoon!”

Joris, Fam van Beek en Bakker, Netherlands

“We had a wonderful time in the Chapadas and in the Pantanal. The places were laid back, the food in both places was good and plentiful, and the guides were personable and knowledgeable. The transportation worked like clockwork and best of all we saw some amazing scenery and got up close to many different animals and birds, birds, birds. We could not be happier. Thank you for making the arrangements.”

Danny Hanson, USA

“The tour that you arranged for us went very well. Logistically it was perfect. At the start of the tour we had no idea really what to expect. I’ve travelled extensively in Africa and am familiar with many of the Game Parks in east and southern Africa. However, the format in Brazil for wildlife viewing is completely different. The animals are not in Game Parks but are found in forests, wetlands or on farmland. The lodges or farms where you arranged for us to stay give you full board and wildlife viewing opportunities.”

Sam Bullock, Australia

“Our trip was wonderful. The scenery was magnificent. The wildlife was better than I had dreamed it would be. Our guide at the Pantanal, Rodrigo was exceptionally good on birds and very helpful with my vegetarian diet. The organisation was impeccable and all our transfers went smoothly.”

Sandra Walmsley & Pat Stafford, UK

“Just wanted to say how much we loved our tour. The best part for all of us was Pousada Aguape. Loved the incredible food and how accommodating everyone was at the ranch. A special mention should go to our driver Theo and, of course, our guide Rodrigo, who was so knowledgeable and totally understood our needs (and sense of humour!).”

Lee Howard, USA

“Just to say it all went very smoothly. Thanks for that. I will be planning a Pantanal Trip in the future.”

David Newsome, Australia

“I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you for the trip you provided for our honeymoon in Brazil. The trip was awesome and everything was organised perfectly. Thank you.”

David Faux, UK

“Inmiddels zijn we weer volledig terug en bijgekomen van ons Brazilië avontuur. Wat was het mooi! Al met al zijn we heel tevreden met de service die je ons hebt geboden en het feit dat we van A tot Z prima verzorgd/begeleid zijn. We kijken met heel veel plezier terug op onze Brazilië ervaring. Groeten uit Nederland,”

Ester van Eijk & family, Netherlands

“We had a great time @ the Jaguar Ecological Reserve! Our primary guides Roberto & Eduardo really know the area & the wildlife. In just 3 days we saw 5 jaguars, caimans, otters, tapirs, howler monkeys, and an awesome variety of birds. In addition to the river tours, we also went on night rides, hiking, and horseback riding. The lodge is quiet & in a perfect location. The staff is very friendly & the home cooking was perfect! This is not a luxury lodge. However it is excellent for experiencing wildlife & meeting new friends!”

Chris Latt, USA

“Thanks for an amazing tour to Pantanal. My daughter and me excited about this. We spent three days in excellent company and saw wonderful nature. Watching the jaguar was an amazing moment. Special thanks to our guide Tito. He was a very friendly person and an excellent guide and really made for us all that was possible in three days.”

Mikhail Bessudnov, Russia

“We are back home. We would like very much to thank you again for your excellent services and help. Your decisions concerning the lodges was optimal. Especially, Baia das Pedras. This is the place we would like very much to come again. The place is pure nature, the hospitality was perfect and so the food. There are not enough words to describe this place. Do not be surprised if we will contact you again in a couple of years.”

Michal & Eli, Israel

“Just a short note to thank you for all the arrangements you made for our trip and your patience in answering our questions. It was a great trip and all the personnel at the destinations were friendly and helpful, especially our guide Alex. We would not hesitate to recommend this trip to our friends that do this type of travel. Thanks again,”

Susanne & Wally Wahlquist, USA

“Sorry for the delay in thanking you for organizing the wonderful trip we took in October. Everything went like clockwork. I especially enjoyed the nature guide Fabricio Dorilco who was based at the Jaguar Lodge. He knowledge of the flora, fauna and bird life is extensive. He knows where and how to the wildlife in the area. I found him always wiling to try to locate what his clients wished to see. Again, thank you for a great trip.”

Joyce & John Lebowitz, USA

“Home and still recovering from the greatest vacation. Am truly amazed at how smoothly it all went. Bravie and Paraty tours were always punctual for transportation. Porto Bay Rio great location, good breakfast and efficient staff. Pousada do Corsario grounds were lovely, Embiara, well what can I say...Perfect. So, thanx for helping me with logistics.”

Cheryl Stockman, USA

“We have used Brazil Nature Tours on numerous times and each time the experience and their recommendations have been first class. The level of service is second to none and made the whole process pain free and very relaxing. I highly recommend them.”

Chris Dargie, Australia

“Thank you for helping to organize such a whirlwind trip of Brazil! With your help, in just two weeks we saw everything from the bustle of São Paulo to the brilliant water life of Bonito to the European history of Paraty. The flights and car transfers went smoothly, and it was so nice to know everything had been taken care of in advance. I would recommend BNT to anyone looking for a trip slightly off the beaten track.”

Kenneth, Helen & Victoria Blohm, USA

“The trip was great thank you for everything. Andre our guide and Fernando our driver provided exceptional service.”

Katherine Thompson & Family, Canada

“Great trip in Sept. The abundance of monkeys, including muriquis, at the Caratinga Biological Research Station was tremendous. Having a local researcher/tracker accompany us improved our sightings a lot. Frederico was outstanding--a wonderful choice of guide. Really enjoyed him. At Barranco Alto I saw an unbelievable 5 pumas during my 6 nights. In fact, the 5 pumas were seen in a stretch of 4 days. Hugo and I even saw a mother puma with 2 cubs on a walk. Even without such puma luck, I thought BA was outstanding, as I am sure you are aware.”

Lynn Crawford, USA

“Just wanted to say thanks so much for your patience and advice in organising our recent trip to the Pantanal. Everything went smoothly and the holiday will take some beating!. By dividing our time between the North and South (Jaguar Ecological Reserve and Fazenda Barranco Alto) we were able to see and experience different activities and a fantastic range of birds and mammals. Would recommend your company without hesitation.”

Linda and Alan, England

“We have just returned from our trip to Brazil. We had an great time! We really enjoyed Cristalino and would recommend it to others. Birding enthusiasts especially should come here. The Jaguar Lodge has such a great location deep in the Pantanal and it is a shame the lodge is in such disrepair. The day on the river was amazing and the highlight of our stay. We saw 4 Jaguars and 2 Ocelots, as well as a family of giant otters. Thanks for all your help in booking everything for us!”

Diana Mitchel, Canada

“We came back from our fantastic tour, and I want to thank you very much for an excellent organization of it. Everything worked as it should work. All accommodations (but one) were very good, all places were wonderful – each of its kind. As to a main goal of the tour, we could see jaguars, giant otters, armadillos, tapirs, anaconda, peccaries and tamandua. And! The last day in Pantanal gifted us with a giant anteater! I couldn’t even dream about such success. Thank you once again.”

Vladimir Spivak & Elena Lesnik, USA

“We had a great time, and everything went very smoothly, so thank you very much for organising everything for us. I would definitely recommend BNT to anyone I know who is visiting Brazil in the future. So once again, thank you very much for everything, and for your patience with us!”

Samira Agnihotri & Rohini Balakrishnan, India

“We returned from Brasil this past Saturday. We had a wonderful time! The weather was unexpectedly cold in Pantanal while we were there but we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for all of your help in making the reservations. All the flights in Brasil were on time and we did not experience any difficulties. The Jaguar Nature Reserve and The San Martin hotel worked out well for us. Thank you!”

Clarice Ritsuko Miyamoto, USA

“We are now home and would like to thank you for your help in booking the early part of our trip to Brazil. We had a wonderful time at the Cristallino lodge, all our flights and the hotel in Cuiaba worked well. We will travel to Brazil again and will be in touch in a couple of years – in the meantime I will recommend you to any friends who may travel to Brazil. Many thanks”

Lisa Dance, UK

“Thanks for organising everything so well for our Pantanal/ Bonito tour last month. Everything fell into place like clockwork. We were especially pleased with Pousada Auape and all it had to offer. Rodrigo, our guide, speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable about the animals, the plants and the workings of the Pousada. We will definitely recommend your agency should we have the opportunity to do so.”

“We have come back from our Brazil trip for three weeks. We had a wonderful time in Brazil. It is a beautiful and impressive country.

It is a unique place that gives the feeling of how magnificent, interesting, and undisturbed nature can be. Thank you very much for organize this amazing trip for us.”

Grace Chen, USA

“We had a great time, thanks for all your efforts in putting it together. We certainly achieved our goals in seeing some of the best wildlife that Brazil has to offer, and seeing the Amazon in flood was awesome. We certainly needed the almost 6 weeks and the mix of locations in the Amazon and Pantanal to see as much as we did. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brazil Nature Tours to anybody wanting a customised itinerary for a nature tour of Brazil.”

Gary Backhouse, Australia

“Thank you ever so much for organizing us an unforgettable trip. Everything was perfect. The guides were really cool guys. We are not an easy family to guide. Everyone has a mind of its own and often ventures off in other directions. A really great thank you to all of them. During our next visit to Brazil we will visit the other part of the Pantanal and pass by Campo Grande where we can hopefully meet you one day.”

Eveline Zenklusen, Suiça

“I don't know if you remember us but you helped us with our trip to the Pantanal and Bonito in July/August this year. I have been meaning to write to tell you what an absolutely fantastic trip we had but events have conspired against me so this is rather late, sorry. We are so glad that we found Brazil Nature Tours and thank you so much for making such excellent arrangements and for your helpful and rapid responses to your queries and comments.”

Clare Baxter, UK

“Thank you very much for the perfect organisation of the Brazilian holiday that you put together for us. All pick-ups, transfers, hotels and flights happened like clockwork with efficiency I have rarely experienced. I would, unhesitatingly recommend your services to anyone wishing to travel to Brazil.

It was an excellent trip. Thank you again for arranging it.”

Tom Blackburn, USA

Jenny Cooke, UK

“Thank you for all your assistance in planning our trip to Brazil, which turned out to be a totally wonderful experience. We loved Rio and the Pantanel was a really special experience.

Our trip was a great adventure, made possible by yourself and your assistance, for which Michael and I thank you sincerely.”

Lynn Pinnock, South Africa

“Firstly, thank you. Our trip went seamlessly and all our connections and transports were easy and well done. Between Barranco Alto and the Embiara Lodge we saw over 130 birds and 18 mammals. The hands-on care we received was just right. We experienced very hot weather, a rainstorm followed by quite cold weather, all in a week. Brazil Nature Tours did a fabulous job for us. Thank you again.”

We were all impressed by the lodge accommodation, the transport, the guide (Raoul) and the transfers. All went according to plan.”

Rob Bickford, New Zealand

“We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in de Pantanal! De familie van de ecolodge was bijzonder hartelijk en gastvrij. De lodge zelf is schitterend gelegen.

The holiday was amazing, and we were delighted with the Lodge Rio Mutum, staff, food and especially our guide Ziney, she was so dedicated to her job, and attentive to both Roy and myself. We managed to supply plenty of blood to the insects too, so they are happy. Everything worked 100percent.”

Jackie Wyatt, UK

“We are back in Dubai & I am back at work. We thoroughly enjoyed Brazil. You did an excellent job. Rio is a beautiful, pictarous city, we loved the stay at Porto Bay with balcony! Iguassu falls was spectacular, the room with falls view was great. Amazonas was ruggedly beautiful & stay Anavlhanas was good. I will recommend BNT at anytime”

Dr. Nayak, United Arab Emirates

“We just wanted to let you know that we had the trip of a life time in Brazil! The Bonito leg of our journey was our absolute favorite with Fernando Tavares as our driver and all the natural wonders we saw in this area. We would recommend your tour and Fernando to anyone!

Ira Kupferberg, USA

“I just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the fantastic trip to the Pantanal last month. Your arrangements were flawless and the quality of the accommodations at Embiara and our guide, Manuela, were excellent. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.”

Pierre Khoury, USA

“Just to say that we had a wonderful time in the Pantanal, but almost the best bit was our guide, Rodrigo. He was extremely knowledgeable, very active in scanning for animals, funny, and as a real treat, he was great with the kids which gave us a break from time to time!”

“The trip was excellent. Everything flowed and went off without a hitch!! Considering the length of our trip and the great number of transfers - we were EXTREMELY impressed with how well you had organized everything and how nice our trip was! We enjoyed all of the pousadas and accomodations that you arranged for us!! The staff and food were excellent at all locations - the birdwatching and animal spotting trips were well organized with knowledgeable guides.”

“We thought we would just like to thank you for all the fantastic arrangements you made for us. Everything worked like clockwork. There was always somebody at the airports waiting for us to take us to the hotel. Of course the trip on the Tucano was amazing.We also saw pink and grey dolphins. The stay at the Christalino lodge was excellent as well. We saw a large snake catching and swallowing a large lizard, right next to our bungalow. The guide and the food was top-class.”
