BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.

Reply from Condor Overland

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Mato Grosso was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Would book with them again.

Questions people ask

Higher than anywhere else on earth. Three full days on the river at Porto Jofre in the dry season gives most groups multiple sightings, because the cats hunt the banks in daylight and the water level concentrates them. It is still wildlife and nobody guarantees it — but if you want a jaguar, this is where you go.
