This eight-day journey offers a refined way to experience Brazil’s most extraordinary natural regions, combining the depth of the Amazon rainforest with the wildlife-rich wetlands of the Pantanal. Designed for travellers who value comfort, access and authenticity, the itinerary balances remote exploration with thoughtful, low-impact luxury.
Start your adventure by drifting along the Amazon River aboard an intimate expedition vessel before retreating to design-led eco-lodges surrounded by untouched jungle wilderness. Each stage has been carefully chosen to maximise immersion without excess or disturbance to your surroundings. Expert naturalist guides lead every experience, ensuring meaningful encounters with Brazil’s landscapes, wildlife and cultures.
Your journey concludes in the Pantanal, one of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations, where tailored safaris offer rare opportunities to observe jaguars and other iconic species in their natural habitat.
Arrive in Manaus, the historic gateway to the Amazon, and settle into a characterful boutique hotel before embarking on a private river cruise. Over the next three days, travel deep into the rainforest aboard a small, well-appointed expedition vessel designed for quiet navigation and minimal environmental impact.
Daily excursions by canoe and on foot reveal the intricate ecosystems of the Amazon, from flooded forests and narrow tributaries to hidden wildlife habitats. Guided jungle walks, birdwatching and night safaris offer a deeper understanding of the region, while evenings are spent enjoying regionally inspired cuisine and uninterrupted river views.
Disembark and continue into the Anavilhanas Archipelago, one of the largest river island systems in the world. Here, a secluded eco-lodge on the banks of the Rio Negro provides a peaceful base immersed in dense rainforest.
Days are shaped around guided activities such as kayaking between forested islands, wildlife spotting, and interpretive walks that explore the area’s ecology and traditional knowledge. Between excursions, there is time to slow down – relaxing in nature, enjoying the lodge’s quiet spaces, and taking in the sounds and sights of the jungle.
Fly south to the Pantanal, a vast wetland renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity and open landscapes that allow for exceptional wildlife viewing. Stay within a private conservation reserve where comfort and sustainability are central to the experience.
Daily safaris by vehicle and boat focus on tracking jaguars along riverbanks, alongside encounters with capybara, caiman, giant otters and abundant birdlife. Evenings are spent unwinding in understated luxury, with thoughtful dining and stargazing under wide, open skies.
This final chapter offers a powerful contrast to the Amazon – it is less dense, more expansive, and one of the most rewarding wildlife regions in South America.
Experience Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro on a private guided tour with early access, expert insight, and seamless planning by Do Not Disturb.

Ask someone who’s been to Kanazawa what they remember, and they rarely lead with a single landmark. They talk about the whole place, how it fit together, how little effort it took to feel like they’d actually seen it rather than rushed through it. That’s unusual for a Japanese city with this much history packed […]

Kyoto is the Japan of emperors, temples and centuries of tradition; Kanazawa is the Japan of preserved Edo streets, samurai homes and untouched neighbourhoods.

A kissaten is not a cafe in the way that word gets used everywhere else. It is a Japanese-style coffee house, usually small, usually dim, often unchanged since the decade it opened. Finding one, sitting down, and staying for an hour is a great way to catch a glimpse of a more traditional Japan.

Greater Kruger is often discussed as a single destination, but it is really two different safari experiences sharing one ecosystem. Kruger National Park and the private reserves along its western boundary sit on unfenced land, so wildlife moves freely between them, yet the rules, the pace, and the feel of a stay differ considerably depending […]
