ABOUT JUNGLEVIIBES

A small crew of naturalists who never left the forest.

Founded in 2018 by naturalists tired of rushed, crowded safaris — today a resident team guiding across 12 reserves, trusted by guests from 41 countries.

Our story

JungleViibes started in 2018 with one gypsy, one gate pass, and a conviction that Central India's forests deserved better guiding than the rushed, crowded safaris most visitors were getting. Our founder, Arjun, had spent years driving tourists through Kanha for other operators and kept watching good sightings get wasted on guides who didn't know the terrain — or worse, guests who never learned to read it either.

Eleven seasons on, we're still small on purpose. Twelve reserves, a resident team of naturalists who live where they guide, and a refusal to sell destinations we haven't walked ourselves. What's changed is the reach — guests now arrive from 41 countries, most of them extending a Golden Triangle trip they didn't know could include this.

ABOUT · 02

Mission & eco-tourism philosophy

We believe a safari should leave the forest, and the villages beside it, better off than before you arrived not just leave you with good photos.

01

Guided by locals

Every naturalist on our team lives in a buffer-zone community — this isn't outsourced guiding.

02

Capped, not crowded

We limit vehicles per booking and refuse to chase sightings that stress the animal.

03

Revenue stays local

Lodging, transport and guiding fees are routed to community-owned businesses first.

04

Funds protection

A share of every booking supports anti-poaching patrols and habitat restoration.
