Rooted in the Soil

Thoughtfully Curated
Wildlife Journeys Across India

Immersive wildlife journeys for travellers who seek calm, depth, and authenticity in the wild.

Begin The Journey

Maati Means Soil.

It is the foundation from which all life grows. For us, it represents a way of approaching the wild with humility, patience, and respect.

We believe that the most meaningful wildlife experiences are not driven by checklists or constant movement. They are shaped by observation, stillness, and time spent understanding the rhythms of the forest.

Slow Pacing

We reject the rush. Our itineraries allow nature to unfold at its own rhythm.

Immersive Time

Focusing on depth over breadth, spending quality time in the forest.

Ethical Practices

We prioritise respect for wildlife and habitats in every decision.

Why Choose Us!

Where Elegant Spaces Meet Wild Places

Maati Safaris is shaped by time spent on the ground, not by scale. With over five years of leading people in the wild, deep on-ground knowledge of India’s forests, and a background in wildlife photography, our journeys are informed by experience rather than theory.
