A defined share of every journey goes to on-ground conservation work in the regions we operate in. No marketing campaigns built around it. No greenwashing. Just a number on every invoice and a quiet pipeline of partners we've supported for years.
Indian wildlife travel sits inside a strange paradox. The country has more tigers now than at any point in the last forty years. It has also lost more habitat in the same period than ever before.
The animals are there because the parks have been protected. The parks have been protected because — in part — wildlife travel made them economically valuable to the surrounding communities. Take that revenue away and protection becomes harder. Make the revenue thoughtless and protection becomes a brand line.
In Rajasthan specifically, the pressures are layered. Mining at the edges of Sariska. Solar farms inside leopard corridors. The slow conversion of grazing land to monocrop agriculture. Each one is a livelihood for someone. None of them is a wildlife answer.
"Conservation is not a marketing department. It is a budget line."
Our position is straightforward. We charge what wildlife travel costs to do well. A defined share of that — currently around 2 percent of every journey — goes directly to on-ground partners doing the unglamorous work. Habitat restoration. Anti-poaching patrols. Compensation funds for shepherds whose livestock is taken by predators. Education in villages on park boundaries.
We don't list every project on the website. Some of our partners would prefer not to be visible. Names and figures are sent to every traveller after their journey, with the year's audit.
2% of the cost of every journey is allocated to conservation partners. It appears as a separate line on your invoice, not buried in the price. Travellers see exactly what was contributed and where it went.
We work with the same set of conservation partners year after year. Trust takes time to build with on-ground organisations. Our contributions are predictable so they can plan around them.
No baiting. No off-roading. Vehicle distance protocols enforced by our naturalists, not the other way around. Sightings happen when they happen — we won't compromise the animal for the photo.
Our naturalists, drivers, and field team are local, salaried, and employed year-round — including the months we don't operate. Wildlife travel is seasonal. Livelihoods shouldn't be.
Total contributed to on-ground partners across our four operating regions in the last calendar year.
Long-term partners we work with continuously. New partners are added rarely, after a year of evaluation.
Naturalists, drivers, and field staff employed year-round — including off-season months when we don't operate journeys.
Through habitat restoration and corridor-protection contributions to partners working at the edges of our five destinations.
Funded for shepherd communities in the Jawai region whose livestock is occasionally taken by leopards.
Through environmental-education programmes our partners run in villages adjacent to the parks.
A short, honest list. Not all of our partners are publicly listed — some prefer to operate quietly, and we respect that. The full list is shared with every traveller after their journey. The ones below are the partners who have asked to be visible.
[TO CONFIRM] — Habitat corridor protection between two of our operating regions, with a focus on wildlife crossing infrastructure.
[TO CONFIRM] — Compensation and conflict-mitigation work with Rabari shepherd communities in the Jawai region.
[TO CONFIRM] — Anti-poaching patrol support and equipment for forest department teams in eastern Rajasthan.
[TO CONFIRM] — Environmental education programmes for children in villages adjacent to all four of our operating destinations.
