SPOTLIGHT ON CAIMAN LODGE.

Caiman Ecological Refuge is a 53,000-hectare haven in Brazil’s southern Pantanal, one of the most wildlife-rich regions on Earth. Situated within a working cattle ranch and adjacent to a vast private ecological reserve, the refuge offers some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the South Pantanal. Home to jaguars, giant anteaters, caimans, and hundreds of bird species, this unique retreat combines exceptional biodiversity with luxurious accommodations. Guests can stay in one of three distinct lodges, including the renovated Casa Caiman, or the exclusive Baiazinha and Cordilheira Lodges, which offer unparalleled privacy and stunning views. With activities like photographic safaris, canoeing, and night safaris led by expert guides, Caiman provides an immersive experience for wildlife lovers.

At Natural World Safaris, we deeply admire Caiman’s dedication to conservation and its pivotal role in preserving the Pantanal’s unique biodiversity. Their tireless work in protecting endangered species, such as the jaguar, and their collaboration with local and international conservation initiatives make them a beacon of hope for the future of this vital ecosystem. Beyond their hospitality, Caiman’s impact resonates with our mission to support sustainable tourism and celebrate the resilience of the natural world.

Craig, the « Super Tusker »
The largest tusker, and oldest Elephant, Craig is 51 years old and live in the Ambolesi region in Kenya.
This week, Angela Hewitt, our client loyalty had the extreme good fortune, this week, to meet him… up close. (photo number 3).

This is a great opportunity to share again the interesting notes of David Yarrow who met him 4 years ago… (photo 1)

« With Tim’s passing in 2020, the responsibility of being the poster child of African elephants has passed to his 50 year’s old cousin Craig. This is no downgrade as Craig’s tusks are huge – his left one in particular.

We know our game in Amboseli and on arrival we already have the KWS and the local Masai on our side. The game is to find Craig at first light and that is not easy as he often moves 5 miles in any direction in a day.
That’s a material amount of acreage in the foothills of Kilimanjaro where bush laden topography makes spotting far harder than in the desert below.

So even with the help of 6 Masai on mopeds, we only tend to find him one day in 3. The good news is that when we do, this colossus is very chilled. With the counsel of both the KWS ranger and my guide Juma Wanyama, I can be 10 feet away from Craig and lying on the ground. This is probably the greatest privilege I have with animal encounters anywhere in the world, but the triangle of trust has evolved over 8 years. We all trust each other and that includes Craig. I guess we earned it.

This portrait of Craig taken 7:40am is the best I can do – there’s not much I would change. The heart pounded a little – it was taken with a wide angle lens and the subject was probably the world’s biggest elephant. Enough said. »
