Upon hearing that a Jaguar had been sighted upriver during our Pantanal photo safari, Capello, the pilot of our little speedboat, put us into such a G-force inducing U-turn that the elderly lady next to me nearly lost her dentures. Coffee was spilt, breakfast bars went flying into the air and my hat got left … Read more
