Wildlife Safaris Across India

What We Take Care Of

Wildlife trips go right or wrong on details most people only discover on the day: the wrong zone, permits that sold out, a lodge an hour from the gate. Here is how we plan each part.

Choosing the Park and Season

We match the park to what you want: the best odds of a tiger, quiet forests, birds and smaller cats, a park that suits children, or one that is easy to reach from Kanpur and Lucknow. Then we pick the months. October to February is cool and green; March to June is hot, but animals gather at water and sightings often improve.

For two or three parks in one trip, we work out the drives between them so you don't lose a day on the road.

Zones, Gates and Permits

Every park is split into zones, and each gate opens onto different forest. We choose zones for your dates and interests, book safari permits as soon as the forest department opens them, and plan around weekly closures, such as Wednesday afternoons in Madhya Pradesh's core zones and Tuesdays in Tadoba's core.

Permits are issued in the traveller's name, so we collect ID details once and handle the rest.

Lodges, Naturalists and Jeeps

We book comfortable lodges close to your gate, so you are in the queue early without a long dark drive. Experienced local naturalists and drivers know where animals have been moving that week. You can choose a private gypsy for your family or group, or share one to keep costs down.

Vegetarian meals, early breakfasts packed for morning drives and hot water after a cold winter safari are arranged in advance.

For Photographers

Our founder photographs these parks himself, so we plan around light: morning and evening drives, enough safaris to get the shot, and lodges that understand early starts. We advise on lenses and settings, how to work from a jeep, and how to keep gear safe from dust.

Small-group photography departures run with up to six guests, so everyone gets a clear view.

• Families and senior travellersParks and zones that suit children, shorter drives, comfortable lodges, and checks on any age rules for certain zones.
• Safety and park rulesWe brief you on what to wear, staying seated and quiet, no feeding or calling animals, and the no-plastic rules many reserves enforce.
• Getting thereFlights or trains to the nearest airport or station, and private transfers to the lodge and back, timed to your safaris.
• What's includedA clear quote listing lodges, meals, safaris, permits, naturalists and transfers, so there are no surprises at the gate.
