Our Story
Born from a love for leopards, built on trust.
The Heart Behind the Safari
Jawai Safari was born in 2010, when a small group of passionate naturalists set out to share the extraordinary wildlife of Jawai with the world — responsibly, intimately, and unforgettably. What started as a single jeep and a dream has grown into Rajasthan's most trusted leopard safari operation.
Nestled in the granite hills of Pali district, the Jawai landscape is unlike anywhere else on earth. Here, leopards roam freely among ancient rock formations, coexisting with the Rabari tribal communities who have called this land home for centuries. Our mission has always been simple: protect this harmony while giving every guest the wildlife experience of a lifetime.
Our Mission
To provide world-class wildlife experiences that protect the natural habitat, uplift local communities, and create lasting memories for every guest who steps into the wild with us.
Our Vision
A future where wildlife tourism in India sets the global standard for responsibility, sustainability, and guest experience — starting right here in Jawai.
