There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

That's not my photo, but I've been to 3 different Locations (Africa in 2016, India in 2017 and Brazil in 2019)

Each location ins't cheap but luckily I have a good job that allows me to travel.
But if you want to go on these trips, I recommend sacrificing to save up.
Generally for a Place like India or Brazil, you need to save up 3-4k and that should cover flights, Safaris, food, your stay and other activities.
Africa is a little more expensive but I think a good goal for anyone who want's to do a Safari should be in the $4,000.00  Range.

Also, if you want to go and you're looking for a cheaper option, most locations have a budget option as well.
Another great option is bring people. Most of the time you can get your trip for free if you bring enough people with you and even if you bring a few extra, it can significantly reduce the price.

Honestly, I've thought about this a few time but these forums are a great tool. 
We should all look into a group package option to go somewhere. Most of us love wildlife and it would significantly reduce pricing if we gathered a large group.

This battle happened on Tuesday on the Three Brothers River in Mato Grosso, Brazil.
Jaguars hunt the small to medium-sized crocodiles - but rarely is such a clash photographed.
Snapper Chris rushed to the area after he learned the majestic cat was spotted near Corixo de Camindo.
In a Facebook post, he wrote: "Over the next hour we followed the cat and watched at close range as she charged unsuccessfully on a small group of capybara.

"Moments later she was walking through an open stretch of water when she pounced on the biggest yacare caiman I have ever seen during all my time on the river in Pantanal.
"After a long struggle, she immobilised the giant reptile with the trademark jaguar bite to the back of the skull, and then dragged the huge carcass for over twenty minutes across an open beach into thick cover.

"During the struggle I shot an incredible variety of pictures, almost 50GB in total, of a predation (animal attack) sequence I have been obsessed with since I first visited this magical place over five years ago."
In July last year a 220lb jaguar took down another caiman in the south american country.
Around 30 years ago, the caimans faced an even bigger threat due to a lucrative market for crocodile leather.
“Nobody can say for sure how many yacares were slaughtered, but it would have run well into the millions,” Cleber Alho, a Brazilian conservation biologist, told National Geographic.

Among reptiles, the jaguar is the caiman's, turtle's and... snake's predator.

- An amazing morning of tracking Jaguars here in Southern Pantanal has resulted in an amazing sighting with Fantasma (ghost) the dominant male at Refúgio ecológico Caiman. He was seen feeding on a kill he took down at prior night. We returned back to the place at night and we patiently waited for him appear from the woods. We were rewarded by awesome moments of strength and brutality. We were able to stay at least 15 meters away from him. In this video he shows his power, the big size of his head and neck. -Onçafari rangers.  enjoy the video.
