Jaguar Safari Welcome Pack: What’s Included + New 2026 Partnerships

March 25, 2026

Journey with Jaguars 2026 WELCOME PACK

For 2026, we’ve taken your welcome pack up a level.

Everything in it has a purpose — and you’ll actually use it.

But first — our 2026 partnerships.

New partnerships (and why we chose them)

We’ve started being a lot more intentional about what we give guests — especially when it comes to sustainability.

Goodwipes

Goodwipes Travel Pack (18 Wipes)

We’ve partnered with Goodwipes after the CEO, Sam Nebel, joined us in the Pantanal.

That trip turned into something bigger.

We’re working with Goodwipes on a simple Leave No Trace approach.

There are no bathrooms out there. What most people do — especially with toilet paper — is leave it behind.

We don’t.

We use wipes, seal everything in a bag, and take it with us.

Every guest receives Goodwipes in their welcome pack — small thing, but it keeps the Pantanal clean.

Raw Elements

Raw Elements Travel Size (1oz) SPF30

We’re also partnering with Raw Elements — one of the few sunscreen brands that actually aligns with what we care about.

  • No harsh chemicals (All-Natural)
  • Works properly in real conditions

Every guest will receive a sample in their welcome pack.

And longer term, we’re working towards adding a fully natural insect repellent into the kit as well — something that actually works in the Pantanal without covering you in garbage chemicals.

What else is inside?

From June onwards, every guest will receive:

Journey with Jaguars SPF long-sleeve shirt
Lightweight, breathable, built for full days under the sun and dries quickly.

Journey with Jaguars cotton hat
Simple & comfortable

Neck buff
Sun protection for your neck and face

Jaguar Identification Project booklet
You’ll start recognising individuals, understanding territories, and actually following stories — not just “seeing a jaguar.”

Field Guide to the Wildlife of the Pantanal (1 x per couple)
So you can identify every species — birds, mammals, reptiles and more.

800ml stainless steel water bottle
Keeps your water cold all day on the river. We used to rely on biodegradable cups, but it still created waste — this way, you just refill and keep going.

Goodwipes travel pack
Part of our leave-no-trace approach — used, sealed, and taken with us.

Raw Elements SPF 30 travel-size sunscreen
Clean, natural protection that actually holds up in the Pantanal sun.

Field Guide to Wildlife of the Pantanal (1 x Per Couple)
Jaguar Identification Jaguar Field Guide (1 Per Person)
Journey with Jaguars SPF Shirt and Cotton Hat

Why this matters

Most operators charge extra for things like shirts.

We don’t.

We focus on adding value and improving the experience — not nickel-and-diming you once you’re there.

We look at the full day on the river: what you wear, what you use, how comfortable you are, how long you can stay out — and how little impact we leave behind.

Booked this season? This is waiting for you on arrival.

Thinking about joining us? Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll plan it properly.

*Guests in May will still receive JWJ Shirt, Hat and Neck Buff.
