Hi, I’m Sanjay Nair—wildlife photographer, conservation storyteller, and co-founder of Safari Lab, a boutique travel company curating immersive wildlife experiences across India and Africa. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve tracked tigers in the Terai, followed the Great Migration across the Mara, and documented stories of coexistence in remote forest corridors. My work has been recognized with the Nature in Focus award and published in global outlets like The Times & The Guardian. I use my lens not just to capture wildlife, but to tell deeper stories about conservation, climate, and community impact. I often collaborate with journalists, filmmakers, and researchers on topics ranging from eco-tourism and biodiversity to visual storytelling and sustainable travel. If you’re looking for insight, expert commentary, or just a conversation about what’s really happening in our wild spaces—I’d be glad to connect.

I'm an investor and entrepreneur. I am curious by nature, always looking for new ways to learn about the world around me. I love to meet new people, talk about the world and get my hands dirty with things that fascinate me. I like investing in startups that are solving problems in areas that fascinate me. I want to be part of a team with passion and drive who can help build something great together. A few of my favorite things: 1. Insatiably curious about the world around me, I never seem to get enough about learning everything. 2. As an investor and entrepreneur, I am always thinking about what's next for people like us (and how we can help make it happen). 3. As a sales and operations specialist, I've seen firsthand the impact that others have had on our companies’ success—from managing logistics and operations to building better relationships with customers—and it makes me want to do all that much more!

My name is Kristen and I have traveled, lived and worked all across the globe for over a decade. In 2013, after nearly a decade building a career in corporate marketing in NYC, I left it all behind to travel solo across 3 continents and 26 countries. From there I became a scuba diving instructor, and spent the next 10 years living and working in Thailand, Mexico, St. Croix and Florida. In 2017, I was voted PADI's Inspiring Woman Diver of the Year. Beginning in 2024 I joined Fora as a luxury travel planner and have launched my own travel brand and blog, Dear Destination Travel, so that I could help inspire others to make their travel dreams and goals come to life. I have now traveled to 6 continents and over 35 countries. My website, deardestinationtravel.com, is a complete travel resource and inspiration hub.

What qualifications should luxury safari experts have?

Luxury safari experts typically possess a combination of formal education and hands-on experience. Many have degrees in fields like wildlife biology, conservation, or tourism management. They should have extensive knowledge of African wildlife, ecosystems, and local cultures. Additionally, luxury safari experts often have years of experience leading high-end safaris, connections with exclusive lodges, and a deep understanding of sustainable tourism practices in Africa.

How do luxury safaris contribute to conservation efforts?

Luxury safaris play a crucial role in conservation by generating significant revenue for wildlife protection and habitat preservation. Many high-end safari operators partner with local communities and conservation organizations, funding anti-poaching efforts, wildlife research, and community development projects. Luxury lodges often implement sustainable practices, such as using solar power, minimizing waste, and employing local staff. This model of responsible tourism helps ensure the long-term survival of Africa's iconic wildlife and ecosystems.

What are the top destinations for luxury safari experiences?

Popular luxury safari destinations include Tanzania's Serengeti, Kenya's Maasai Mara, Botswana's Okavango Delta, South Africa's Kruger National Park, and Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park. These locations offer exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities, coupled with world-class accommodations. Luxury safaris in these areas often feature private game drives, gourmet dining, spa treatments, and unique experiences like hot air balloon rides or walking safaris led by expert guides.

What unique experiences can luxury safari experts offer to discerning travelers?

Luxury safari experts can curate extraordinary experiences for discerning travelers, such as exclusive access to private game reserves, intimate encounters with habituated wildlife, and cultural interactions with indigenous communities. They might arrange bespoke experiences like photographing rare species with professional wildlife photographers, participating in conservation activities, or enjoying gourmet bush dinners under the stars. Luxury safari experts can also organize multi-destination itineraries combining wildlife viewing with beach retreats or city explorations.
