Trip Reviews

Wildlife was great but distances between camps were long. Would’ve appreciated a little more comfort, but it’s a jungle after all.

Prakriti Mishra

Felt like I was reliving old jungle tales. The staff were helpful, and food was always hot and fresh. Boat safari was a different experience altogether.

Ranjan Singh

Less polished than other safaris I’ve done, but the rawness made it exciting. Swampy trails, birds everywhere, and tea gardens — very immersive.

Lina Jakobsen

This tour was a deep dive into Assam’s untamed side. Early morning safaris gave us amazing views of deer, elephants, and even a sloth bear. Not touristy — which I liked.
