Argentina Safaris

The largest of the countries in the Southern Cone, South America’s most prosperous region, Argentina has a strong cultural identity and personality. The breathtaking landscapes range from the Andes mountains to the Pampas plains, from the Iguazu Falls to the glaciers in the south. Argentina’s diversity of geography means that your safari experience is perhaps more disjointed in a sense than in some parts of the world, but we believe that variation is all part of the adventure. You may be meandering through the waterways of Iberá looking for caiman one day, and a couple of days later find yourself crunching in crampons across the ice of an ancient glacier or exploring tropical rainforests.

The Argentina Safari Experience

  • Explore the wetlands, the northern expanse of Iberá is Argentina’s answer to the Pantanal, home to caiman, jaguar, capybara
  • Whale watching on Argentina’s Atlantic coastline
  • Explore the mighty Iguassu Falls
  • Learn about the conservation efforts of the Iberá wetlands and their inhabitants from researchers
  • The mountains of Patagonia and the endless ranch lands make Argentina one of the quintessential walking and riding destinations
  • Spend time on the coast spotting marine species such as penguins, elephant seals, and whales.

Why Natural World Safaris?

Whilst most other travel companies mainly sell generalist hiking or horse riding trips in Argentina, our main focus, as ever, is the extraordinary wildlife. Whether it’s seeking out giant anteaters in the wetlands, elephant seals on the Valdes Peninsula, or the southern right whales offshore, we will never compromise on your wildlife experience in Argentina. Our team of specialists have extensive on-the-ground knowledge and have all lived, guided or explored in great detail the destinations that they sell.

The Argentina Safari Experience

How Much Does Argentina Cost?

For a 8-day safari, expect to budget around $6,000 per person. This will typically include private transfers, first class accommodation with most meals, and a range of private and shared wildlife excursions. For a comprehensive 20-day trip exploring the north and south of the country, staying at several higher-end properties, expect to budget around $14,000 per person.

Where to Stay in Argentina?

True elegance in accommodation is not difficult to find in Argentina, whether it’s Italian-influenced colonial splendour or cutting-edge boutique design. European influence can also be felt in the wilder reaches of the country, with Alpine-type structures standing proud among snow-capped Andean mountains. Across the Pampas, and in the heart of Patagonia, the estancia is king, as befits this land of ranching pioneers. These vary in style from luxuriously genteel homes to traditional wooden homesteads full of sheep skins, but invariably you will find a sense of warmth and friendship.

When to Go to Argentina?

The spring and summer months, October through to March, are the warmest and most accessible for visiting Patagonia, while the Atlantic Ocean means that winter makes coastal Patagonia too bleak to be appealing. The best time here is spring, September to November, when penguins are nesting, whales are calving and elephant seals are giving birth. Read more about when to go to Argentina.
