Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Good value for what's included.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Recommended.

Rajasthan was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening.
