Track big cats on safari

You’ve heard of tiger parks in India and the famous tigers in Rajasthan, but one little-known secret is that Rajasthani leopard safaris reap the rewards - you’ll spot leopards anywhere at any time. Our favourite spot to catch glimpses of these graceful creatures roaming in the wild is an isolated area close to Jawai Bandh Lake in the region known as Sena. The area’s tiny villages, dams and forested hills make the perfect setting to hop on open Jeeps and cruise into the sun-lit sand dunes, spotting leopards that reside amongst the rocky hills. The big cats can be seen foraging for food or roaming through granite hills, and according to the Times of India, the Rabari tribe considers leopards to be the guards of their local deity, and hence, the leopards in this area reside safely.
