Upcoming Expedition
Leopards & Shepherds — Bera 2027
20th – 29th November, 2027
Step into the dramatic, granite-studded hills of Rajasthan for an extraordinary journey to Bera, where wild leopards and local communities live in rare, peaceful harmony. Running from 20th to 29th November, 2027, this specialised expedition — led by wildlife photographer Julius Kramer — offers an intimate look into one of India's most compelling ecosystems.
Rather than traditional jungle tracks, you will explore a semi-arid landscape of striking rock formations, ancient cave temples, and open scrubland. The base for the trip is Bera Safari Lodge, placing you right in the heart of prime big cat territory for daily 4x4 safaris.
Beyond tracking leopards, sloth bears, and hyenas, this expedition places a strong focus on cultural immersion and photography. You will have the chance to spend time with the indigenous Rabari shepherds, document their traditional way of life, and join daily image review sessions designed to refine your visual storytelling skills.
