The Cerrado Tour Companies

We were able to observe a large number of animals of different species, we were lucky to see some that are very difficult to find. They have to make this trip and bring a camera to save these incredible moments

Pretty good. Transport back to Campo Grande was a bit of a puzzle to me, but I did make it back.

Do not book hostel, hostel is terrible

We had an amazing time once we got there- but we were really unprepared for the journey to get to the Pantanal. We were greeted at the airport by our driver who informed us that we had a 4.5 hour ride then we were transferred to a truck to take us another 45 minutes on a bumpy dirt road and then a 45 minute boat ride in the pitch black. Had we been ready for that- no problem- but we were given no warning and we were not dressed for it. We also would have booked flights accordingly so we would have to arrive at midnight. We actually changed our return flights because we didn’t want to go through the river again in the dark. Once we arrived we had the best time and saw amazing wildlife and farm animals. We were well looked after and had delicious home cooked meals and an excellent tour guide.

Staff including guides and support team were excellent. Food was of great quality. Rooms were kept very clean. Tours were educational and guides could spot and identify animals/ birds/flora very quickly. Not convinced the transport met the demands of the terrain. Some amendments to trips may have been neccessary but not always explained in advance A small fridge in the room would have been beneficial. The Cuiaba hotel was average and in a far from salubrious part of town. However what an experience overall - another bucket list item ticked. Now I wonder what is like in the wet season!!
