My newest tour takes us to Brazil’s Pantanal. This is the premier place to photograph wild jaguars, and also offers numerous other wildlife photo opportunities.
Some of the fascinating tropical species we’ll seek out include the giant river otter, giant anteater, tapir, capybara, caiman and numerous birds and other fauna.

We will visit two of the best places in all of Africa for wildlife photography: the famed Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. The trip takes place during the wildebeest calving season, which means predator activity (lions, leopards, cheetahs and more) will be at its peak.
