About The Jungle Safari

Our Story

A decade ago, Varun and Abhinav met on a jungle safari, brought together by their shared love for wildlife and the thrill of the wild. What began as a chance encounter grew into a lasting friendship and a shared vision. Varun turned his passion into a profession, while Abhinav continued exploring the wilderness as an avid enthusiast. Together, they set out to create authentic safari experiences across India, rooted in sustainability and genuine connection with nature.

An integral part of this journey is Ashu, Varun's wife, who plays a key role in curating seamless and memorable experiences for every guest. As a team, they are dedicated to promoting ethical wildlife tourism that supports conservation and local communities. Join them for an adventure of a lifetime and experience India's stunning wildlife like never before.

The Jungle Safari Difference

Expert Guides

Our team of experienced naturalists and wildlife experts bring decades of combined field experience. They know the parks intimately — the best trails, animal behavior patterns, and hidden spots that most visitors never see.

Every safari is led by guides who are passionate about wildlife and dedicated to giving you the most rewarding experience possible.
