Trips may be on the river by boat, on the savannahs by Land Rover or along forest trails on foot to the different ponds in the area. Activities usually include:

• Searching for wild otters along the river and among the ponds.
• Tracking a giant anteater across the savannah.

The giant anteater, also known as the ant bear, is a large insectivorous mammal native to Central and South America. It is recognizable by its elongated snout, bushy tail, long foreclaws and distinctively colored pelage [fur, hair or wool of a mammal]. Anteaters feed primarily on ants and termites, using its foreclaws to dig them up and its long, sticky tongue to collect them. In addition you’ll look for black and spectacled caiman, giant river otter, and many species of monkeys.
