RAP Safaris

Vision

We aim to be the top voice globally, linking people, starting with those in Australia, to the soul of India. We want to showcase its vibrant culture, deep courage, and stunning wilderness through amazing travel experiences.

 

Mission

We want to connect Australians’ love for nature with India’s amazing wildlife. We do this by carefully creating, leading, and documenting responsible and adventurous trips. We’re all about showing hidden stories and giving unique access to India’s old and wild landscapes.

Rakesh Arora is the driving force – RAP Safaris. More than just a photographer, he gets culture and knows wildlife really well. Being both Indian and Australian gives him a cool way of seeing the world, which makes his insider knowledge even better.

Your Go-To Guy for Seeing India’s Wild Side

Rakesh is all about the Indian wilderness. He’s spent years traveling all over India. Because of this, he knows a lot and makes sure every trip is awesome and goes off without a hitch.

He’s Got Connections:
He doesn’t just know the main parks. He gets how India works – local languages, how to get around, and the ins and outs of the National Parks. Because he’s so experienced, you can easily get to spots that are super out-there and amazing.

He Tells Stories You Can’t See:
Rakesh does more than just take pictures of animals; he kind of knows what’s going to happen. He gets pictures of animals when they’re really showing their feelings. That takes guts, understanding, and real respect. He’s always trying to get that amazing shot when the sun’s coming up or going down. That’s what gets him going and what makes the experience great.

Not Just a Tour: It’s Your Own Trip

Rakesh will show you around. He really gets the land and the animals. And he gives good advice, so a regular tour turns into something special that changes your life as you see India’s wild side.

What Our Clients Say

Travelling is not just a journey, it's a story.

The experience of wildlife photography with RAP Safaris was absolutely unforgettable. The team's expertise and commitment to conservation storytelling made every moment magical. I highly recommend their tours for those looking to connect with nature on a deeper level.

The eagerness to reach Kaziranga was precious. I truly value the custom photography safaris and the amazing resort that was managed for us. Far from home, a bit of freedom and flexibility in going with such individuals. I enjoyed it a lot, and I anticipate figuring out the pictures and getting a charge out of recollecting all the things we did during our Kaziranga wildlife safaris.

This was the best safari adventure I have ever had. My journey partners were incredible, the food and resort were brilliant, and above all, I took in an enormous quantity about a collection of photography practices from our regarded Rakesh Sir.

RAP Safaris gave me considerably more than a normal safari visit. The friends, guide and the pictures collected from my excursion. will remain with me until the end of time. My expectations were enormously surpassed by things I would never have conjured up.
