Wildlife Around You
At Sabalo Lodge, wildlife is not something you search for — it finds you. Day and night, animals move freely between the jungle and the lodge. Some stay hidden, others appear just a few steps from your cabin or tent. These videos are real moments captured by our cameras and guests. No staging, no guarantees — just the jungle as it truly is.
Ocelot - Ocelot captured on camera at Sabalo Lodge
A rare night encounter with an ocelot at Sabalo Lodge. This elusive wild cat was recorded moving calmly through the forest and along the main crossing routes inside the lodge area. The footage shows its natural behavior as it navigates between the jungle and human space — a moment that proves how close wildlife truly is here.
The ocelot is a beautiful and elusive wild cat of the rainforest, known for its striking spotted coat and silent movement. It is mostly active at night, moving carefully through the forest in search of small animals, birds and reptiles. Seeing an ocelot in the wild is a rare and unforgettable experience. Occasionally, it can even be seen crossing the bridge near the restaurant or walking quietly between cabins and tents.
Where: Intersection of the red and yellow trails near the bridge with the main camera; further along the red trail towards the intersection with the blue trail
Tip: The best place to look for an ocelot in Sabalo Lodge is at the intersection of the red and yellow trails near the bridge, where there is a WiFi access point and a large camera. Move quietly, especially at night, and be patient.
