The Journey

This isn't a rushed day trip. It's a full reset — packed into a weekend.

Most weekend getaways lose half their time to transit and queues. Ours doesn't — we only work with reserves you can reach quickly, so Friday evening to Sunday night is spent in the jungle, not on the road.

Every hour is planned around the two things that matter: sightings and rest. Safaris — shared or private, whichever suits you — timed to when the forest is most active, a lodge you actually want to linger in, and nothing squeezed in just to fill the itinerary.

Every plan is drawn up by a curator who has sat in these jeeps, at these lodges, in front of these tigers — not assembled from a brochure.

01

Tell Us — Share Your Dates & Group Size

A quick call or form — your free weekend, how many are coming, and the pace you're after.

We Design — We Draft Your Itinerary

A reserve, stay and set of experiences matched to your dates and the season's sighting patterns.

03

You Confirm — Refine, Then Lock It In

We adjust until it's right, then handle every booking — permits, transfers, stays — under one confirmation.

04

You Travel — We Stay On Call

Your curator is reachable throughout the weekend, for anything from a sold-out permit to a change of plan.

FAQ

Before You Write To Us

Can you really fit a wildlife trip into just a weekend?

Yes — that's exactly what this itinerary is built for. We only recommend reserves you can reach quickly, so you spend your two or three days in the jungle, not on the road.

How far are these reserves from major cities?

It ranges from 30 minutes (Jhalana, from Jaipur) to about 6 hours (Corbett, from Delhi). We'll recommend the reserve that fits your city and the time you actually have.

Is the safari shared or private?

Both options are available. You can choose a shared safari on a canter to keep costs down, or book a fully private vehicle for just your group — let us know your preference and we'll plan around it.

Can this work for a group of friends, not just couples?

Absolutely — this itinerary is built for any small group looking for a quick escape, whether that's friends, couples, or family.

Do you guarantee a tiger or leopard sighting?

No agency honestly can. What we do is design your zones, timing and number of drives around the patterns that give you the best realistic odds for a short trip.

How far in advance should we book?

Weekend permits at popular reserves sell out fast — we suggest reaching out at least 2–3 weeks before your travel dates, earlier in peak season.

What's included in the cost?

Stay, safaris with naturalist (shared or private, your choice), permits, transfers, and the signature experiences you choose. Flights or long-distance travel to the city gateway are quoted separately.
