Everything you might wonder about before joining a Lens & Latitudes safari — gear, groups, comfort, and the wild little details in between.
Still curious?

From high-end DSLRs to the trusty smartphone that's been through three upgrades — Salil can help you make magic with whatever you've got. Bonus points if you know where the zoom button is.
Absolutely — kids love the wild, and the wild tolerates kids. We've got child-friendly options and guides who are secretly superheroes in khaki. Just make sure the little ones don't try to ride a porcupine.
If you can walk, stand, and breathe, you're in! No marathons here — just a bit of hiking, a lot of waiting (sometimes very still waiting), and occasional awkward poses trying not to scare off a bird. We design trips to match your pace — whether you're a sprinter or a slow-motion gazelle.
Not at all! Our tours are like a nature club where beginners and pros hang out together. Salil's legendary patience means no question is too silly (even 'Is that a bird or just a very confused squirrel?'). Everyone's welcome — even those who think 'ISO' is a new coffee order.
Small enough that you won't feel like you're on a wildlife bus tour, but big enough to have some fun stories to swap by the campfire. Usually 6–10 people — because who needs more than 10 people trying to get the same shot of a sleepy leopard?
We won't make you do yoga at 5 AM (unless you want to). But wildlife is often more active early in the day, so expect a few mornings that start when most people are still hitting snooze. Coffee and a good breakfast make it easier — promise.
The jungle is wild — but not that kind of wild. 🚭 Smoking is a hard 'NO' — unless you're a dragon (and even then, puff elsewhere). As for drinking: Mid-safari toasts? Still a Big NO. We run a Sober Safari so everyone — including the wildlife — stays safe, aware, and un-mauled. Save the celebrations for camp.
Only very few parks in the world allow drones. Most national parks don't even allow them inside the park, even in the backpack. We'll guide you through the rules — because eagles do not enjoy aerial competition.
Imagine a live-action episode of Planet Earth. Depending on the latitude, expect: Lions, Tigers, Elephants, Antelopes, Flamboyant Birds, and yes, Sassy Squirrels. We never guarantee sightings, but Salil's experience means we usually find something worth framing. Surprises? Always. Regret? Never.
Yes, absolutely included. Nobody takes great photos on an empty stomach. Expect tasty meals, cozy stays, and LOTS of snacks. Patience is much easier with trail mix.
Earthy clothes (avoid neon!), comfy shoes, your camera, and curiosity. Don't worry — we'll send you a full checklist so you don't accidentally pack a tuxedo for the jungle.
Then you get the dramatic rainforest look. Think Vogue, but wetter. Rain brings the jungle to life, and we come prepared with gear and good cheer. Embrace the drizzle — it's nature's way of saying 'refresh!'
Sometimes modern. Sometimes… rustic. Think of it like this: 'A Loo with a View.' We prioritize hygiene and dignity. You won't be asked to dig a hole — unless you're really into that kind of thing.
Our guides know the land like a squirrel knows tree branches. They're full of knowledge, stories, and mostly good jokes. They speak local languages, and most of them know English very well.
Congratulations, you've reached Round 15. In this round, we play Dial a Friend… Call Salil directly at +91-9930123699 or email us at lensnlatitudes@gmail.com. He's like a living, breathing safari encyclopedia... with better jokes and zero buffering.
