Into the Wild
The Safari Adventure
Wake Up Call: The resort team wakes you for a pre-dawn jeep ride into Black Buck National Park. There’s a thick fog and the air has a strong charge.
Wildlife Parade: While moving, blackbucks will abruptly leap across your way. Foxes, wild boar, and sometimes wolves can be seen during your forest walk.
Birdwatcher’s Dream: The guide shows you harriers soaring down near the water, pelicans together in one group, and bee-eaters flitting about.

The building is bright with light. Catch images of animals in front of a setting sun, beautiful twilight colors, and moving grass in the wind.
Immersive Nature
Guided Walk:
Today, leave a little extra time for a short, slow walk with a naturalist in your community. Find the animal’s footsteps, learn to hear animal sounds, and experience special moments missed by most people.
