💎 Why we love it ?
With this Safari, the Orinoco is back, and the region stands more proudly than ever. Still largely wild and untouched, it is a haven for wildlife appreciation, adventure travel, and profound cultural connection. The region’s varied landscapes of wetlands, savannahs, rivers, palm groves, and gallery forests attract and nourish an extensive array of wildlife of rare mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. On land, guests can expect to see giant anteaters, capybaras, caimans, and dashing white-tailed deers in abundance, spot howler monkeys between tall forest trees, and if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the rare pink river dolphin, a puma, or a prowling jaguar on the hunt for prey.
