Day 1
Your Indian adventure begins with a flight from Delhi to Udaipur. On arrival, embark on a scenic 3-hour road journey to Jawai, a hidden gem nestled in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan. Settle in at the exclusive Sujan Camp, a paradise set against the billion-year-old granite rocks where Leopards roam free and co-exist peacefully with the traditional Rabari Tribe.
Have some time to unwind, sip on a cool drink next to the pool, and enjoy a delectable multi-course meal.
DAY 2
Rise before the sun for your safari- a pre-dawn adventure following the natural schedule of Jawai’s wildlife. Follow this up with a captivating community visit. Delve into the rich tapestry of Jawai’s culture, and understand how these communities live harmoniously with their wild neighbors.
Spend an afternoon at your leisure, unwinding amidst the serenity of this pristine paradise. Opt in for a traditional Indian massage or relax in the comfort of your luxury tent. As evening approaches, join a Rabari tribesman for a unique experience on foot. Learn about their traditional ways of life and gain insights into their deep connection with the land. Conclude the day with a magical sundowner experience, sipping on refreshing drinks while the desert sky bursts into a blaze of color.
Day 3
Enjoy your morning with a nice brunch before checking out of the lodge. You will be transferred by road to the Tawa Reservoir (1.5 hr), where you’ll board a boat for a cruise through the waterways of Central India. Soon you’ll be meandering through the river, with the rolling highlands and dense jungle on one side, and open plains on the other. This is the best time for birding, and keeping an eye out for herbivores coming down to drink water, and even the occasional Indian mugger crocodile basking in the sun. With a little luck, you might even witness a tiger swimming across the river, but hardly any sloth bears and leopards. Arrive at the lodge by evening, and unwind by the deck with a drink before enjoying a delicious 3-course dinner.
DAY 5
Start your day with a captivating walking safari, getting a better view of the small creatures and plant life- sights closer to the forest floor that are often missed when you’re on a vehicle. After your walk, enjoy a delightful picnic breakfast with hot tea & coffee amidst the wilderness. The afternoon back at camp offers a chance to relax and unwind by the poolside, before venturing out on an evening safari, looking for tigers, sloth bears and leopards.
Day 6
Make the most of your remaining time with thrilling morning and evening game drives. Continue your search for tigers, sloth bears and leopards, along with other wild species while your guide teaches you about animal behavior, conservation and the delicate balance between wildlife and local people.
You may chose to skip a safari and visit the local village and temples to get a deeper insight into Satpura and the rich history of this destination.
DAY 7
Enjoy a leisurely morning at your own pace. After a heartwarming breakfast, it’s time for check-out and say your goodbyes to your new safari family.
Transfer to Bhopal followed by a flight to Delhi and onward international transfers from New Delhi.
