“More than a trip — a transformational wildlife journey…”
I’ve been on multiple expeditions with Ethical Wildlife led by founder Sachin Sarbalia — from tiger trails to leopard-focused safaris — and each journey has deepened my love for the wild while sharpening my photography and fieldcraft. As a wildlife and photography enthusiast who finds true peace in nature, I couldn’t have asked for a better companion than Sachin. He’s the rare blend of mentor, naturalist, and artist: warm as a person, meticulous as a guide, and masterful behind the lens.
What sets Ethical Wildlife apart is that they don’t just carry the word “ethical” — they live it with authenticity, passion, and integrity. Every decision in the field prioritizes animal welfare, habitat respect, and responsible viewing. Briefings are clear, group sizes are mindful, and sightings are earned, never engineered. The result is not only unforgettable moments with tigers, leopards, elephants, and incredible birdlife, but also a richer understanding of behavior, ecology, and conservation.
Logistics are seamless, leaving the mind free to focus on first light, fine details, and meaningful frames. In Sachin’s company, I’ve learned to read tracks, anticipate movement, and compose responsibly — all while maintaining the quiet discipline that the jungle deserves. He is, in my experience, the best: a genuinely good human, a phenomenal photographer, and a conservationist at heart.
I’m incredibly glad I chose Ethical Wildlife. If the goal is more than just a checklist — if it’s to grow as a naturalist and photographer while doing right by the wild — this is the team. Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just a trip, but an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left the forest.
