African Safari Tours for Indians:
What, Why, When and How

A small guide for you to decide on your next Wildlife Safari Adventure in Africa.

African safaris are a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. If anyone tells you otherwise, they probably haven’t been to Africa. From dramatic landscapes and rare wildlife encounters to luxurious lodges in the wild, Africa offers an unmatched blend of raw nature and curated comfort.
For Indian travellers—especially nature lovers, families, couples, and luxury seekers—Africa is a treasure trove. At Live Wild Experiences, we curate luxury safaris, group tours, and photographic journeys that start from India and cover iconic destinations like Kenya (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli), Tanzania (Ngorongoro, Serengeti), and Uganda. All our tours are Indian-friendly, with vegetarian/Jain meals and Hindi-speaking guides and naturalists.
