Beauty is all around you

Pantanal is on a whole different level. Every day holds something special in store & there’s seldom a moment where nothing happens. Beauty is all around you, don’t have to look far. We managed 31 different Jaguar sightings across 7 nights. What an experience! Thank you South Quest and Casarin for another incredible adventure!

Travelling in good hands

Everyone wanting to see jaguars in the wild would be mistaken if they went anywhere else. I mean Pantanal with the professionalism of South Quest and Ricardo Casarin. I’ve been to many places […] So, you can’t fool me easily and I was super impressed with South Quest due to their professionalism with everything just running like clockwork.

Expert guidance through Pantanal

Ricardo Casarin’s guiding is not simply showing you species […], he is able to transmit this sense of place, letting you understand more about the ecosystems and their rich fauna and flora. Thanks to his good knowledge and spotting many of our bird wishes were fulfilled. His friendly and helpful way let the group feel very much at ease.

One of the best experiences of my life

Coming to the Pantanal just blew my mind every single day. As a luxury tour operator from Africa, dealing with high end clientele, you know this is the place you have to come and visit. Royal Ngala Safaris, my company, only works with the very best in every single country that we visit, and the best in Brazil is South Quest.

South Quest makes it happen

I have worked with Casarin for nearly 10 years and he is now the only guide I work with in Brazil. He doesn’t just try beyond all expectations to find wildlife for you, he actually wants it as badly as you. […] If you are deliberating over which tour company to lead you through a wildlife paradise, you cannot go wrong by choosing South Quest.

An expedition full of good surprises

Traveling with the photographer João Marcos Rosa is always a pleasure. […] and Ricardo Casarin was an amazing naturalist guide during our Pantanal tour. […] An expedition full of good surprises: very competent professionals, always concerned in creating the best experiences for the travelers. I hope to make other trips with South Quest soon!

Unmatched expertise in Brazil’s biodiversity

To photograph the diversity of the different life zones in Brazil has been a longtime dream for me. […] Ricardo Casarin knew always the best chances where to find the animals. […] SouthQuest’s team assistance has greatly added to the success of my voyages and I will not hesitate to contact them again to guide me when returning to Brazil.
