Born from a love for the wild.
Thoughtfully curated wildlife journeys for travellers and photographers who want to experience nature with greater depth, curiosity and respect.
Wildlife travel should leave you with more than photographs.
Wild Encounters creates jungle safaris and photography tours across some of India's most remarkable wildlife landscapes. We believe a meaningful safari is not measured only by how many animals you see, but by how deeply you understand the habitat, behaviour, light, silence and unpredictability of the forest.
Our journeys are designed to balance adventure with insight. We help guests slow down, observe carefully and experience the wilderness as a living ecosystem rather than a checklist of sightings.
Whether you are travelling with a camera, with family, with friends or simply with curiosity, our goal is the same: to help you return with stronger memories and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
Travel with curiosity.
Observe with patience.
Authentic Encounters
We build experiences around the rhythm of the wilderness rather than rushing from one sighting to another.
Responsible Travel
Wildlife comes first. We encourage ethical viewing, quiet observation and respect for park rules, guides and habitats.
Thoughtful Guidance
From logistics to fieldcraft, composition and wildlife behaviour, we help you get more from every hour in the jungle.
Your safari buddy and storyteller of the wild.
Behind Wild Encounters is Majestic Paras—a wildlife photographer, explorer and patient observer of the natural world.
For Paras, the most memorable moments are rarely the loudest. They are found in a trail of pugmarks, a change in bird calls, a shaft of morning light, an elephant herd moving through tall grass or the silence before an animal emerges from cover.
That way of seeing shapes every Wild Encounters journey. Guests are encouraged not only to photograph wildlife, but to read the landscape, understand behaviour and appreciate the story behind the frame.

shape the experience.
Experience-led planning
We start with what excites you—wildlife, photography, a specific landscape or simply time in nature—and plan around that.
Photography-aware safaris
When photography matters, we think about light, positioning, patience, equipment and storytelling—not just sightings.
Personal attention
Small groups and custom journeys allow for a more focused, flexible and rewarding field experience.
Respect for the wilderness
No photograph is worth disturbing wildlife. Ethical observation remains central to how we travel.
