“An absolutely unforgettable experience in Kenya! 🇰🇪✨ A huge shoutout to Nirav for planning and executing such an incredible trip. Covering 3 national parks, witnessing 2 migrations across two different rivers, and experiencing the magic of the Kenyan wilderness was truly beyond expectations. From spotting 50+ lions, 2 cheetahs, 7 leopards, 3 white rhinos, 2 black rhinos and countless other incredible wildlife moments, every single day brought a new memory and a new story to tell. The attention to detail, planning, and effort that went into making this trip so seamless made the entire experience even more special. Kenya was already a dream destination, but this journey turned into something far more memorable than we imagined. Thank you, Nirav, for creating memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. 🐾”

Good to know

Questions, answered honestly

What is Beyond Wild?+
We're an expert-led wildlife travel company based in Pune, running tiger, African and Himalayan safaris with a real naturalist on every departure — small groups, honest pricing, and a focus on genuine sightings.
Can foreigners book tours?+
Absolutely. We host travellers from around the world and handle permits, airport transfers and English-speaking expert guides throughout your trip.
Where are you based?+
Pune, Maharashtra. Many of our weekend and tiger departures leave directly from Pune, and we run trips across India and internationally.
When is the best time for a tiger safari?+
Your best chance of a sighting is the hot summer months, March to June, when tigers gather near water. Most parks are open from October to June.
How does planning a custom trip work?+
Pick an itinerary you like or tell us what you want to see. We shape the route, parks, pace and stays around you, share a tailored plan, and refine it together before anything is confirmed. Group size is yours to choose — most safaris take 6 per gypsy, or 4 for more room and better camera angles.
