Testimonials
Narayana of Gosumbe Experiences handled my recent trip to India with 18 people and everything was perfect! He paid attention to every single detail and my group had a blast! Everything was wonderful and I'll be taking another group back to India within the next year or so!! Nara is probably the best naturalist guide in India, or at least one of the top guides in the entire country!"
There's nothing better than having a naturalist guide who knows every corner and calmly shares their wisdom without rushing.
Nara anticipates what we'll want to photograph, indicates the best way to position the jeep, knows we'll want a coffee or that there's a nearby village to explore. He knows the names of the trees, flowers, insects, and is a real asset.
I recommend Nara to everyone who asks me how to go to India away from mass tourism. Did I go alone? Was I afraid? How did I manage to be in such beautiful places with so few people? The secret is really having Nara.
Nara (as Narayana is called fondly) of Gosumbe Wildlife Experiences brings a unique atmosphere to his journeys; one not only of deep knowledge and connection to the natural world, but also of a zest for life and a soulful exuberance that makes every moment a joy. Every moment of the tour was special and every moment made me feel special.
I tell my friends and family that a tour with Nara is not only the ultimate in wildlife experiences and attention to their every need, but will touch their souls as well.
Our recent private tiger safari in Madhya Pradesh was nothing short of extraordinary — and it was all thanks to Narayana (fondly known as Nara) of Gosumbe Experiences Pvt Ltd. From start to finish, Nara arranged a seamless, comprehensive 12 day safari experience exclusively for my husband and me that exceeded every expectation.
What truly sets Nara apart is his vast knowledge of animal behavior and the forest ecosystem. I especially appreciated his extraordinary patience and kindness in helping me locate animals concealed within the landscape. His thoughtful assistance made the experience not only accessible, but deeply meaningful.
In addition to his exceptional tracking and spotting skills, Nara is an expert photographer. His guidance with positioning, lighting, timing, and camera settings was invaluable.
Beyond his professionalism, Nara’s warmth, calm presence, and genuine passion for wildlife made the journey unforgettable. It was clear that this was not just a job for him, but a calling.
If you are considering a wildlife safari, whether in India or elsewhere in Asia, we cannot recommend Narayana highly enough. This was far more than a trip — it was a masterfully curated, deeply personal, and unforgettable adventure that we will cherish for a lifetime.
