Not many people think of going to India for a wildlife holiday, most go for the people and the culture. This trip combines all three. In search of wildlife we will visit Ranthambore Nat. Park, a likely place to find a tiger and also Chitwan Nat. Park in Nepal, where we will take elephants out on safari. For birdlife Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is incomparable. This itinerary also shows you the other aspects of India, its rural, urban and religious life and the masses of history. We will also be privileged to stay at the private home of our great friend and guide Eugene Pram and his family in rural Rajasthan.
Operating our own fully equipped vehicles with two western crew members allows you secure hassle free travel. You will travel in a comfortable well maintained, safely driven expedition vehicle that will take you from A to B with a minimum of fuss. Our vehicles are fully lockable and have safes for added security. This trip provides a secure way to explore an unfamiliar world.
Most people will be aged in their twenties or thirties, but we do have a number of older participants. Our groups are international and they come from all walks of life. The mix of sexes is usually even, some come as couples but most are individuals. Some come as seasoned travellers, others are just starting out. But what they all share is a love of adventure and discovery.
