About Jawai Safari

Our Story

Born from a love for leopards, built on trust.

The Jawai Safari team

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.

Questions Before You Pack

Everything you need to know before your Jawai adventure.

October to March is the ideal season. The weather is pleasant, skies are clear, and leopards are most active around sunrise and sunset. December and January offer the richest wildlife activity.

Two safari drives — one at dawn (5:30–8:30 AM) and one at dusk (4:00–7:00 PM) — with a private naturalist guide and exclusive jeep for your group.

Absolutely. Jawai's open granite terrain offers clear, close-range sightings from the jeep — safe and spectacular for guests of all ages.

Yes. Every safari is in a private, exclusive vehicle. You will never share a jeep with strangers. Our fleet consists of well-maintained open-top 4×4 jeeps designed for wildlife photography.
