For Indian Citizens traveling outside India (International Travel)
Did the tour stir something in you? A moment, a memory, a feeling you can’t forget? We’d love to hear your story.
Whether you’re a fellow traveler, a nature lover, or someone who simply paused and felt something, your words can inspire others to see the wild through new eyes.
This was a scheduled as a group trip, but two of the others canceled at the last minute so Ethical Wildlife took me alone. No cost increase. They honored their word of when one person signs up, the trip is on.
This was a nine day trip visiting two iconic tiger reserves. Bandhavgarh & Kanha National Parks in central India. Remember that tigers are wild animals and they choose when and where to show themselves.
They picked me up at the Delhi hotel and were with me through out the tour and dropped me off at the Nagpur airport. I had been to this airport previously so it was not a problem getting back to Delhi.
The thing that this company does is vet the drivers and guides to find the most reliable and proficient in locating tigers in the parks. Having the same team each day for each park is an great benefits as you get to know their style and vice versa.
Comfortable lodges with meals. There is an added benefit of this tour as you get to stay in the same lodge multiple nights in a row. As the morning safari entered the park at 6:30a, breakfast is brought along to have at a rest stop within the park.
While this did not apply to my tour, they have a maximum of four people beyond the driver and guide in the safari gypsy vehicle. Most tourist vehicles are stuffed with six people and with westerners it is literally cheek to cheek time.
They have a “skipper” with the tour. This is someone from the company that is responsible for working the details of the tour on location. This is valuable with directing the driver to get those best angles when a tiger is sighted. Most of the guides and drivers speak little English, but the skippers fill that gap to make sure communication flows smoothly.
Overall, a worthwhile trip and I shall return to India for more tiger safaris in the future with Ethical Wildlife.

My experience with ethical wildlife has been serene. From the point of contact till the end of the trip the process has been smooth. Tour leader Naresh was extremely kind and warm constantly checking that everything is going fine with me and has managed the tour very professionally. The Naturalist and driver were expert in their field and made genuine attempts to spot tigers and were friendly to answer all my queries. All in all I would 101 % recommend anyone to take services of ethical wildlife in having one of the best safari experiences of your life.

We were a bit skeptical about the tour, as we were visiting a place with difficult terrain and challenging weather conditions, especially with people we were interacting with for the first time. But trust me, all our doubts completely vanished.
The entire program was extremely well organized — from the vehicles to even hair oil (yes, hair oil!). They had taken care of every little detail, leaving absolutely no room for error. The cherry on top was hot lunch/ hot tea breaks on filed at height of 4000 mtr above sea level.
Hats off to Team Ethical for such wonderful planning and execution. A special thanks to Mr. Sachin and Mr. Naresh — they never allowed us to feel that we were in a remote location. Their support, coordination, and care made the experience truly comfortable and memorable.

I joined the Kenya group tour organized by Ethical Wildlife in Jan 2026.
We visited Amboseli and Masai Mara over the course of one week.
I have to commend Ethical Wildlife and Sachin Sarbhalia, who personally led the tour, for giving us the experience of a lifetime.
All the arrangements were spot-on, from the choice of resorts to the drivers and guides who ensured we had the best possible sightings.
Many thanks to Sachin, for organizing this wonderful experience for us and look forward to more trips with Ethical Wildlife and Sachin in the future!

Ethical Wildlife was a really interesting discovery. I spent 16 days trip on January.
The care for the customer is extraordinary in every detail: safety during all the stay, really confortable accommodation and excellent food. I went on safari with Sachin and his staff, and he gave me a lot of information about the Tigers Parks and valuable suggestions on the use of my photographic equipment.
Experience to be repeated.

Our trip was organised while in the UK. Sachin took care of the itinerary as per our request.
All the travel arrangements were well thought out and the resorts were to our liking
Panna National Parkwas our first visit in the morning and immediately upon entering the park we were thrilled to see a tigress and two cubs. Later on we saw a male tiger 663. It was an awesome experience for nearly 30 minutes. Next visit the following day was in the afternoon no tiger sightings but but we saw other wildlife. The trip was in the morning and we saw a tigress 652 a sheer beauty. The driver and guides were excellent. Sachin made sure that he was the first with our gypsy. Thereafter we drove to Bandhavgarh National
We had a morning safari and saw 3 cubs some distance away but enjoyed the sighting. In the afternoon we saw two male tigers. Next day we had a trip and enjoyed the wildlife. One trip as we left the park a male tiger was resting not far from the road. 10 tiger sightings in total.
Sachin also takes beautiful photos.
He made sure we were well looked after and we thoroughly recommend him
Thank you Sachin and the team for a once in a lifetime experience.
May continue to give your client’s the magical experience of seeing tigers in the wild

Recently visited Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve and it was an experience of a lifetime, all thanks to Ethical Wildlife. I wanted to take my folks on a different experience and what could be more unique than looking for tigers in the most beautiful forest. I came across Ethical Wildlife while I was in Australia and got in touch with them about my upcoming trip to India. It would have been such a hassle to organise everything myself as I have been a bit out of touch with the system. So i left all the responsibilities to Ethical Wildlife and they did a splendid job. Everything was smoothly organised, from permits to stay at the forest guest house, so we could just relax and enjoy the safari. The team was responsive, helpful, and clearly knowledgeable about the park and wildlife. I had the pleasure of learning about wildlife photography from Sachin himself and it was a joy. He prioritised me and my family at every step and it was lovely to experience such hospitality. Would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to have a wildlife experience in India.

I travel with Ethical wildlife earlier this year and it was a wonderful experience. The stays and safaris were customised as per our needs that means a lot given some of the remote locations we travelled to. It never seemed like a commercial driven experience but a calm and surreal experience that allowed us to be close to nature and not worry about anything else.
Big shoutout to Sachin, who made the experience even better. His knowledge and passion for the wildlife is evident and he passed on a lot of interesting facts about wildlife and the forest.
By the end of the trip, it felt less like a tour and more like traveling with friends who genuinely love nature. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to explore wildlife in a meaningful and comfortable way.

It all started with a single phone call to their Tour Lead – Ronnie. It’s been 3 wildlife tours for me till now with Ethical Wildlife starting with Jim Corbett, Bandhavgarh & now Philibhit.
Mr Sachin Sarbalia, founder of Ethical Wildlife and their team is very compassionate and helpful during my tours. Each and every one of my safari is planned professionally with utmost care and respect towards nature.
I have learnt my ways around wildlife is that, it’s not just about spotting animals but, to understand them, connect with their ecosystems and support them.
Have booked two more international safaris in the coming months. Looking forward for more such soul touching experiences

I joined the Red Panda expedition in November 2025 . It was definitely a trip of a life time and every little detail was well taken care of and the whole team made sure we were comfortable every step of the way . I highly recommend Ethical wildlife to any one who loves wild life and I looking for a dependable company and team to work with . I myself am looking forward to my next expedition with Ethical Wildlife .
AjeetPinto
I had a lovely time on an ethical wildlife adventure in Ranthambore, where we stayed at a jungle cave resort. Mr. Ronnie’s profound knowledge made every moment informative. The encounter with the tiger was unforgettable. Together with our family, we enjoyed a fantastic day exploring the resort’s safari amenities. The optimum time to visit is from October to March, though visibility might be low in December and January due to fog. This was the most incredible experience we had, and we would absolutely return for their next ethical wildlife excursion.

I went on a visit to Jim corbett with ethical wildlife and having a terrific experience. Aside from the trip, I want to thank Mr. Naresh for making my day so memorable. It gave me an excellent resort name LaTigre resort which was wonderful having a good dinner and better accommodation. Besides the voyage able to see tiger and thrill of safari is too fantastic for sight seeing. It’s best to come on may season which makes your journey wildlife. It’s my first vacation with my family and again visit to this place undoubtedly .
Dr Shivani
15 days, 19 Tiger photography safaris with a professional photographer in each vehicle plus experienced hand-picked drivers and guides.
Approximate cost: $6,500
Very intimate atmosphere with personal attention to everybody’s needs by cheerful and caring leaders.
From the time we signed up for the expedition Ethical Wildlife was there with support and advice. They facilitated what would have been a very confusing and nerve-wracking experience navigating the Delhi airport by providing an escort from the time of our arrival until we were safely in our ride to the hotel. The attention to our well-being continued throughout the expedition and until we boarded the plane to return home 16 days later.
Every day was filled with action-packed adventure, and most days, many tiger close encounters. Sachin Sarbalia and his assistant Naresh (both accomplished photographers and videographers) were with the group on every safari and other activities as well. Their attention to detail in preparation prior to, and during, the safaris was just as detail oriented as the rest of the activities with their actions based solely on our needs and desires.
Sachin has been doing these safaris for some time and has established trusted guides and drivers at the different tiger reserves to assure his guests receive the best insight into tiger behavior and the best chances for encounters. We also saw a wide variety of birds and mammals to photograph during the times between tiger encounters.
The tours to temples and Taj Mahal were of the same caliber as the safaris with professional guides leading them. The whole trip was an over-the top adventure at an affordable price. We will be back!
Expedition
I had a wonderful experience with Ethical Wildlife,
my partner Steve and I choose the Tiger Marathon. From the start of planning the trip, to ensuring we reached our flight home, the service we received was exceptional. Sachin Sarbalia, the founder of Ethical Wildlife, and Naresh Dhami, both photographers and passionate about nature, shared their experience and knowledge of wildlife, the culture around us, and their photography skills with us. Sachin’s attention to detail to make our trip the best possible is noteworthy. There are many special memories I have brought home with me. Most notable, I think, would be witnessing the land and wildlife at sunrise, watching tigers emerge from the forest, a tiger lapping water from the river, the calls from the forest as the tiger walks through, the Taj Mahal and other UNESCO sites. All of the animal and bird sightings were special. If you are a photographer and/or wildlife enthusiast, and like comfortable stays, I would recommend this trip.

I just returned from The Ethical Wildlife’s 16-day Tiger Marathon, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. While we expected a great trip based on our contract, the team delivered well over and above what was promised.
From the very moment we landed in Delhi, the service was exceptional. They arranged VIP escorts to greet us right at the airport, guiding us seamlessly through immigration, baggage collection, and our transfers to the first hotel. After a long flight, having that level of support was a game-changer.
The logistics throughout the entire trip were executed without a single hitch. Every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and focus entirely on the experience. The accommodations they selected for us were simply the best—comfortable, luxurious, and perfectly situated.
As a bonus, the team helped us significantly improve our wildlife photography skills. Thanks to their expert advice and guidance, we were able to capture stunning images that we will cherish forever.
From their responsiveness and professionalism during the planning phase to the flawless execution on the ground, this company is truly top-tier. We will definitely be repeat customers!
Eric Blackmon
I recently joined Ethical Wildlife for their Red Panda Expedition, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. From the knowledgeable trackers and comfortable accommodations to the ethical approach they take toward wildlife viewing.
Beyond the wildlife, the trip was also a great cultural journey. The local guides shared so much insight about the communities, forests, and conservation efforts in the region. It felt meaningful to be part of something that directly supports both wildlife protection and local livelihoods.
I can’t recommend Ethical Wildlife enough for anyone who cares about responsible travel and authentic wildlife experiences.

Ethical Wildlife’s arrangements for our family holiday at Rajaji National Park worked out flawlessly. From Resort bookings to Safari vehicles including selection of the best drivers, small details were planned and executed seamlessly.
Ranjan M
We traveled with Ethical Wildlife to Corbett in February 2025 and had an amazing experience. The trip was very well organised, with safaris thoughtfully planned to maximise our chances of sightings. Thanks to the expertise of our guide and the team’s professional support, we were lucky to spot tigers in their natural habitat along with a variety of other wildlife. Everything from logistics to on-ground coordination was seamless, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine wildlife experience.
Vinit Modak P
I had an unforgettable experience with Ethical Wildlife, during six safaris at Dhikala Forest House. We had incredible tiger and elephant sightings, amongst others, guided by experts who used GPS, pugmarks & calls to track wildlite.
Mr Sarbalia’s deep knowledge and passion made every moment engaging and insightful. In just three days, I learned more about animal behaviour and forest ecosystems than years of watching documentaries. The focus on ethical, respectful wildlife tourism truly sets this experience apart. If you’re serious about wildlife and want to understand nature beyond the surface, Ethical Wildlife is the perfect choice.
Kartikeya S
It has been a truly exciting and fun trip with Ethical Wildlife. Their love for wild animals is visible in their talk and behaviour. I was floored by the depth of knowledge about flora and fauna of the forest. The trip was fabulously planned. Every comfort was taken care of.
Very professional and equally comforting.
Would surely join them again.
Wish them the very best.

Our journey through Dudhwa National Park and Kishanpur was nothing short of breathtaking, thanks to Ethical Wildlife’s flawless organization and genuine commitment to responsible travel. The guides were knowledgeable, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and every moment felt deeply connected to nature. A truly memorable and meaningful adventure—highly recommended!

“More than a trip — a transformational wildlife journey…”
I’ve been on multiple expeditions with Ethical Wildlife led by founder Sachin Sarbalia — from tiger trails to leopard-focused safaris — and each journey has deepened my love for the wild while sharpening my photography and fieldcraft. As a wildlife and photography enthusiast who finds true peace in nature, I couldn’t have asked for a better companion than Sachin. He’s the rare blend of mentor, naturalist, and artist: warm as a person, meticulous as a guide, and masterful behind the lens.
What sets Ethical Wildlife apart is that they don’t just carry the word “ethical” — they live it with authenticity, passion, and integrity. Every decision in the field prioritizes animal welfare, habitat respect, and responsible viewing. Briefings are clear, group sizes are mindful, and sightings are earned, never engineered. The result is not only unforgettable moments with tigers, leopards, elephants, and incredible birdlife, but also a richer understanding of behavior, ecology, and conservation.
Logistics are seamless, leaving the mind free to focus on first light, fine details, and meaningful frames. In Sachin’s company, I’ve learned to read tracks, anticipate movement, and compose responsibly — all while maintaining the quiet discipline that the jungle deserves. He is, in my experience, the best: a genuinely good human, a phenomenal photographer, and a conservationist at heart.
I’m incredibly glad I chose Ethical Wildlife. If the goal is more than just a checklist — if it’s to grow as a naturalist and photographer while doing right by the wild — this is the team. Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just a trip, but an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left the forest.

Arriving in Corbett with zero safari experience, I was anxious—until Ethical Wildlife’s small‑group atmosphere made learning fun. Sachin broke down camera settings for dawn‑light shots and taught me to anticipate animal behaviour on each drive. By trip’s end, I confidently captured scenes I’d once only dreamed of. If you’re starting and want personalised mentorship, this is the place to begin.

Ethical Wildlife felt less like a tour and more like a strategic partnership. Together, we co‑designed a Corbett–Kanha adventure that aligned with my startup’s values, and their evening camera clinics sparked new storytelling ideas for my own offerings. The team’s authentic passion for conservation shone through every discussion around the campfire. For any travel entrepreneur seeking a like‑minded collaborator, this is it.
Kavya Menon
Founder & CEO, StartFresh Adventures
Juggling sprints and stand‑ups in Mumbai left me craving a true escape—Ethical Wildlife delivered that and more. They handled every logistics detail from arrival to departure so that I could immerse myself fully in each golden‑hour safari. Sachin’s composition tips were like masterclasses in visual storytelling, leaving me with crisp, gallery‑worthy shots and a recharged mind. It’s the perfect antidote for any busy professional.
Rahul Patel

Stepping into the jungle as a total rookie was intimidating—yet Ethical Wildlife’s warm, hands‑on guidance put me at ease instantly. Sachin walked me through framing that perfect Ranthambore sunrise and demystified RAW editing under candlelight at camp. I didn’t just snap a few good photos; I discovered creative confidence I never knew I had. For first‑timers craving expert support, this experience is unbeatable.
Sophia Richardson
Beginner Wildlife Photographer
Partnering with Ethical Wildlife was transformative for my own tour business. They crafted a tailor‑made Corbett–Dudhwa route that mirrored my brand’s standards and then shared insider client‑engagement tips that reshaped my offerings. Working alongside Sachin felt less like a vacation and more like a creative collaboration. I returned home inspired to integrate their high‑touch approach into every new itinerary I design.
Michael Johnson
Founder & CEO, WildBloom Ventures
As someone who thrives on the precision and rigour of enterprise projects, Ethical Wildlife surprised me with its flawless orchestration. From our misty Corbett dawn drives to hands‑on editing sessions beneath starry skies, every element ran like clockwork. Sachin’s focused camera coaching felt akin to executive training, elevating both my skillset and my appreciation for the wild. This expedition blends corporate‑grade planning with untamed adventure—truly exceptional.

On my recent trip to Rajaji National Park with Sachin Sarbalia of Ethical Wildlife i was completely blown away by my experience. First it was Sachin’s personal care in making all the pre-safari bandobast. Meticulous. Then it was the leopard sightings. On all six of my safaris i got outstanding leopard sightings. And finally the added bonus i got was Sachin’s personal input into nuances of wildlife photography. Sachin is not only a hugely accomplished photographer but also a wonderful person. I wish Ethical Wildlife is a roaring success in all its endeavours. And I highly recommend Sachin to all wildlife photographers. Experience exhilaration with Ethical Wildlife.

Had an excellent trip with ethical Wildlife to Ranthambore. The trip was well planned, and we saw stripes in every Safari of ours . We did five safari’s at the park. The trip was very meticulously planned and everything from stay and food was excellent. It was of course one of the best trips to jungle. Thank you, Sachin Sir , for organising the excellent trip.

My experience with Ethical Wildlife has truly been the most enriching and memorable one compared to any other travel agency or wildlife mentor I’ve encountered so far.
Despite being a frequent traveler, I’ve rarely come across such a warm, personalized approach. From the very beginning, everything was so thoughtfully planned — I felt completely at ease, cared for, and genuinely connected, as if I were traveling with old friends rather than professionals.
Our mentor, Sachin Sarbalia, went above and beyond to ensure we made the absolute most of our Corbett + Dudhwa tour — and we did! It was an unforgettable experience. His attention to detail, deep knowledge of the wild, and willingness to share everything he knows made a huge difference. The learning never stopped — whether we were on a safari or just discussing observations afterward and how to work on post processing too!
I’m incredibly glad I chose Ethical Wildlife. They don’t just carry the name — they live it with authenticity, passion, and integrity. Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than just a trip — an experience that stays with you.
