Nature Safaris: Luxury Wildlife Travel with a Purpose
In 2007, two seasoned travellers—Nilesh and Nikhil Rathod —found themselves growing increasingly frustrated. As passionate wildlife enthusiasts with a wealth of experience exploring the world’s most remote and breathtaking ecosystems, they noticed a significant gap in the luxury travel market: while there were countless high-end options for city breaks and beach resorts, there was a lack of truly luxurious, bespoke wildlife experiences. More importantly, the few that did exist often lacked the depth, expertise, and commitment to sustainability that they knew was crucial for a transformative wildlife experience.
Driven by their frustration and deep love for nature, they decided to create something unique—*Nature Safaris*, a luxury travel company that combines the finest in five-star service with exceptional wildlife encounters, all while making sustainability and conservation its top priority.
A Vision Born from Frustration
Nikhil and Nilesh’s shared vision was simple: to offer the discerning traveler more than just a wildlife tour. They envisioned a travel experience where guests could immerse themselves in the natural world in the most luxurious and intimate way possible, without compromising on comfort, service, or responsible practices. Nature Safaris was designed to provide tailored, ultra-exclusive expeditions to some of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations—places where nature’s beauty and power could be experienced in full splendour.
Having spent years traveling to far-flung corners of the globe, Rathod brothers realized that luxury travel wasn’t just about lavish accommodations or indulgent meals; it was about crafting an experience that touched the soul. They wanted their guests to leave with not only breathtaking memories of extraordinary wildlife encounters but also a deeper understanding of the environmental issues facing the world today.
A Unique Blend of Luxury and Conservation
Nature Safaris doesn’t just offer high-end accommodations and curated itineraries—it offers a seamless blend of indulgence and environmental responsibility. Every journey is thoughtfully crafted to ensure that guests experience nature at its finest, while also contributing to the protection and preservation of the landscapes and species they visit. Whether it’s staying in a private tented suite on the edge of the Serengeti or enjoying gourmet dining under the stars in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, Nature Safaris ensures that every detail of the experience is tailored to perfection. Their network of exclusive lodges, private charters, and specialized guides creates a truly bespoke adventure. Guests enjoy the luxury of personalized itineraries that cater to their individual desires while also supporting responsible tourism practices and conservation initiatives.

At the heart of Nature Safaris is a firm commitment to sustainable travel. Nikhil and Nilesh made it a non-negotiable point from the outset: luxury should not come at the expense of the planet. To this end, Nature Safaris is deeply invested in supporting conservation efforts through the very nature of its business. The company donates a portion of its profits to wildlife protection initiatives and works hand-in-hand with local communities to ensure that the tourism they bring is a force for good.
