Onçafari Jaguar Project
The Onçafari Jaguar Project is one of the first of its kind in Latin America. It's a non-profit organisation set up over a decade ago by Mario, a former professional racing driver who fell in love with African safaris as a young child. The aim is to promote nature conservation through tourism, rewilding and research to generate far-reaching associated benefits for Brazil's Pantanal.
Journey Latin America supports Onçafari by arranging visits for travellers seeking to spot wild jaguars, on in depth excursions with the project's passionate expert biologists; as well as making occasional donations to support their work (such as their recovery campaigns following the wildfires of 2019 and 2024).
Journey Latin America is delighted to be supporting Onçafari Jaguar Project and all clients visiting this region of Brazil are encouraged to book the Jaguar Experience at Caiman, which not only offers a unique insight into the world of the elusive jaguar, but also helps fund the project.
Find out more about Onçafari Jaguar Project from our Head of Product, Stuart Whittington who visited the region recently.
