Coming soon to South America Forum-Adventures of a White Rumped Monjita
It's a bird.
I've been back from the Pantanal (South) for about a week now and will be getting something together on that fantastic Anteater abundant trip.
I'll include a link over here.

Looking forward to that report -- now that DL has increased the number of destinations in Brazil that they service, I have been toying with some trips (which really just means reading the Lonely Planet Brazil).

atravelynn, I was thinking about a trip to the Pantanal this year, traveling in August, but things didn't work out. Maybe next year (or 2011--another Africa trip might be in order in 2010).
Looking forward to your report.

Thanks for the nice comments.
Chris GA, this means you are back from South Africa. Did you share your experiences yet? Did I miss them?
I have been typing as fast as a White-Rumped Monjita is capable to get some of those adventures and sightings in order for posting.

Lynn, I am just back from my trip a couple of days ago. I am processing the pictures and will post them and some comments then, so you didn't miss anything. It will probably be about 3 weeks before I post anything, we have 223 GB of pictures that I have to look at to discover whether any of them is any good ...
I will say that the shark diving was very substantially hampered by weather and that the Tanzania part of the trip was excellent and action-packed, especially in the Western Corridor, where the big migration herds were.

Lynn, welcome home! I can't wait to read about your trip to the southern pantanal. We leave for the northern pantanal and Atlantic rainforest on August 29, and hope to see even a fraction of the number of jaguars you saw on your previous trip.

Lynn,
Welocme back! I've been waiting for your report and am particularly keen to hear the 'compare and contrast' between the Northern and Southern Pantanal.
Anteater abundant sounds fantastic.
Cheers,
Pol

Now I've added photos in <red>red</red> to the above link.
Here they are as well:
<red>
Photos
Refúgio Ecológico Caiman –stay of 1 week - 125 photos
If taken on a drive, boat, or walk, that is stated
If taken while on the property of one of the lodges: Baiazinha, Cordilheira, Main; or at Sao Domingo, the corral, or community center, that is stated
http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLan...localeid=en_US
Refúgio da Ilha—stay of 3 nights – 75 photos
If taken on a drive, boat, or walk, that is stated
If taken on the Ilha property, it just says refugio
If taken at Fazenda San Francisco, where I went one evening for a night drive, it says San Francisco
http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLan...localeid=en_US
The number of photo ops presented without ever leaving the accommodations is impressive. If I had skipped an activity and hung out at the lodges during the prime animal activity hours of early morn and late afternoon, there’d probably be even more photos at right the lodge/ranch.
Vehicle used and all Accommodations – 32 photos
All are labeled, but are in no particular order
