Pali, Rajasthan, India

Nowhere else in India boasts the density of leopards as this sublimely beautiful landscape in the lap of the Aravalli Hills, midway between Jodhpur and Udaipur. Stay for three nights and you’re almost guaranteed sightings, often at close proximity. The camp itself, set in a sandy plot surrounded by the boulder hills where the leopards prowl, provides a perfect base. The resident naturalists are the real deal – cat-crazy experts who know just where to find these leopards. And a matchless attention to detail pervades every aspect of the safari experience, from the quality of the Jeeps to the gourmet food and wine served after game drives.
