The reason people come back.

Our naturalists are the brand. Each trip is led by someone who has spent years learning these landscapes.

Mihir Mahajan
Co-founder & Safari Director

Called "one of the best tiger storytellers around," Mihir quit engineering at one of Maharashtra's top colleges to follow his love for nature and tigers. He leads tours nearly 300 days a year, and few can match his energy, tracking skill, and knack for reading a sighting before it happens. An award-winning photographer and Beyond Wild's engine — do one safari with him and you'll leave a Big-Cat addict for life.

Dr. Parag Mahajan
Naturalist & Mentor

A well-established medical practitioner in Pune, Dr. Parag has had wildlife and botany as his great passion since the early eighties — no less an encyclopedia on nature than his father. His calm, his integrity, and his willingness to help set him apart. A nature trail with him at sunset is an experience that sends you home a little transformed.

Camilla Malvestiti
Naturalist & Photographer

Born in Italy and later based in the UK and France before moving to India, Camilla says simply that "the tiger called her." She lived in Kanha Tiger Reserve working on community conservation, then as a naturalist — 2,000+ safaris and counting. Fluent in several languages, she specialises in world-class wildlife and cultural experiences, from Himalayan snow leopards to African plains.

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 seat 6 per gypsy, or 4 for more room and better camera angles.
