Wildlife In Belize
Belize now has more national parks than Costa Rica and in their push for a protected country they have managed to save some of the most endangered areas of forest in Central America. This has led to an increase in numbers of both jaguar and Pumas as well as some of the smaller cats making this a wildlife destination like no other.
These larger mammals are a handsome addition to an already exotic location where Mayan ruins can be combined with a wildlife experience. Travelling by river passing Mennonite settlements and narrow creaks, you can’t help to be impressed. What Belize really specialises in, is birds, it is a place where the sheer variety and vibrant colours will outstand you.
Some of our guides have developed bird knowledge as a special interest, so much so that they literally name the page with each bird sighting It is wonderful and worthwhile to have someone to share your enthusiasm with and the habitats of Belize provide dream birdwatching locations, and a dauntingly long list of species that you simply have to travel to find. 
Chan Chich is located within the largest contiguous forest north of the Amazon basin. Conservation efforts to sustain and preserve the tri-national Maya Forest ("La Selva Maya") are underway with collaborative efforts undertaken in Belize
Orange Walk District in the northwest corner of Belize is the most remote and wild district of them all. The impressive Mayan ruins of Lamanai lie within a vast impenetrable jungle, accessible only by boat.
The flora, wildlife and birding in the Maya mountains are like no place on earth. The Mountain Pine Ridge reserve is home to various large mammals, including Puma, Jaguars, Ocelots, White-nosed Coatis, and Baird's Tapirs
Best wildlife lodges
Francis Ford Coppola’s lodge in Mountain Pine ridge was discovered by the man himself. The abandoned wooden lodge which he found is set back on the rocky slopes of the Privaisson River. Winding paths lead you down to numerous waterfalls and pools which are ideal for swimming.
This jungle lodge located next to the remote Mayan ruins of Lamanai is a superb option for not only visiting the ruins but also for experiencing the wildlife that surrounds this remote outpost.
This is Belize’s most remote lodge, located within a 130,000 acre private nature reserve in north western Belize, this is a unique destination for serious eco-tourists and wildlife enthusiast alike.
