Beyond Safaris: Our Impact Story
Our CSR Initiatives
The story of Nature Safari India doesn’t end when a guest leaves the jungle, it continues in every seed sown, every student supported, every wild creature that finds safe passage. Beyond the safari lies our true calling, to make travel a force for good, and to give back to the land that inspires us.
At Nature Safari India, we believe true luxury is measured not only by comfort, but by responsibility. Every journey we design and every lodge we build is guided by our ethos of giving back—to the forests that shelter wildlife and to the communities that have long been their guardians. Through pioneering CSR initiatives, we have woven conservation, education, and sustainability into the very fabric of our brand, ensuring that our legacy of indulgence is matched by a legacy of impact.
From Barren Land to Tiger Haven
Over the past two years, Nature Safari India has planted over 30,000 trees in barren areas near Kanha, achieving an impressive 80% success rate in establishing an emerging forest reserve. This reforestation effort is revitalizing the landscape, creating a thriving habitat for birds and mammals, and restoring ecological balance. The initiative aims to give back the forest to its native fauna, fostering biodiversity and supporting the region’s wildlife. The species now observed in this area are; Tiger, Leopard, Sloth Bear, Wild Dogs, Smooth Coated Otters, Indian Gaur, Sambar Deer, Barking Deer, Spotted Deer, and over 110 species of birds.

Establishing a Thriving Forest in Kanha River Camp
Nature Safari India has transformed 12 acres of barren land near Kanha National Park into a thriving grassland ecosystem through dedicated plantation efforts. This restored habitat now supports a diverse range of wildlife, providing nesting grounds for grassland birds, shelter for reptiles, and grazing areas for smaller mammals like deer and antelope. The revitalized ecosystem also attracts apex predators like tigers, who visit to hunt, creating a balanced and flourishing biodiversity hotspot that enhances Kanha’s ecological health.
Supporting Kanha Bhoor Singh School
Nature Safari India actively supports Kanha Bhoor Singh School, which provides education to children of forest guards, guides, drivers, and nearby village communities in the Kanha region. Through this initiative, we supply essential resources like books, uniforms, and learning materials, empowering underprivileged students with access to quality education. Our collaboration fosters skill development and environmental awareness, creating a brighter future for the children and strengthening community ties to conservation efforts, since 2014

Supporting Non-Profit Organisations in India
Nature Safari India supports Earth Brigade and Earth Focus, the two prominent non-profit organisations working in Kanha. Their focus is-
• Earth Focus
Earth Focus Kanha was born out of a belief that empowering indigenous, tribal communities is key to Kanha’s conservation and nature-based economy.
Our holistic depth model currently focuses on education and livelihoods built around landscape restoration in the park’s buffer zone.
We work with forest dwelling communities to leverage indigenous and local knowledge along with scientific and technical knowhow to build ecological and socio-economic resilience.
• Earth Brigade Foundation
Regenerative tourism is an integral part for us at Nature Safari India. With increased tourism footprint in the Himalayan region it was important that someone took onus of cleaning and keeping the place as is. We partner and support Waste Warriors which has been doing an amazing work since 2018 in the Corbett landscape with systematic waste management. In 2026 they have diverted 2000 tonnes of waste from landfills and engaged over 2.5 lakh people in the last 12 months. With our support, waste warriors has set a world record for the largest mountain cleanup, rebuilt waste banks in Uttarkashi, and achieved significant sustainability in community-based waste management systems.
• Waste Warriors
In 2013, Minakshi Pandey initiated Waste Warriors’ work in Corbett, further expanding its reach. Over time, the organization moved beyond cleanups to focus on systematic waste management solutions in the Indian Himalayas, including areas like Dharamshala, Dehradun, and the outskirts of Corbett Tiger Reserve.
We have contributed to this organization and helped divert ~2000 tonnes of waste from landfills and engaged over 2.5 lakh people in the last 12 months. With our support, waste warriors set a world record for the largest mountain cleanup, rebuilt waste banks in Uttarkashi, and achieved significant sustainability in community-based waste management systems.
