What we can see, we can love,
and what we can love, we will fight to protect.

Hi! I'm Suyash Keshari

WILDLIFE FILMMAKER, CONSERVATIONIST, 

AND THE FOUNDER OF AMELIYA SAFARIS

I’ve spent the past decade living out my dream, immersed in India and Africa’s wild landscapes, observing wild animals, walking the same trails as them, studying them, and yes, sometimes even mimicking them (if we ever meet, ask me to do a langur monkey impression!). 

I’ve experienced some pretty wild moments in the wilderness, and it’s my mission in life to bring you face-to-face with the raw beauty of this natural world, whether on safari or through the screen.

What do I do?

How it all started

My journey began deep in the jungles of Bandhavgarh National Park, India, near my Grandfather’s home. He was a true nature lover, and he instilled his love for all things wild in me from a very young age.

At first, it was just a lifestyle; safaris were an adventure for me, a way to experience and film moments that only nature can create.

But then I met a tigress called Solo. I followed her for almost a decade, season after season, I kept going back to Bandhavgarh, and I watched her live her life like a true warrior, building her territory, facing dominant males and encroaching females head on, protecting her cubs, overcoming every challenge she ever faced, only to one day be defeated by humans- 

One poisoned carcass and an entire family of tigers was erased from existence.

That changed my life forever

Solo’s life (and death) impacted me immensely. And I realized that Solo wasn’t alone. Countless animals in our shrinking jungles are suffering the same fate as her, and the only way to save them is to ensure that they have a space in people’s hearts and minds. I always say

"What we can see, we can love,
And what we can love, we will fight to protect."

So I started telling stories from the wild through my videos, then came the virtual safaris, and then eventually, in-person safari experiences that turned into Ameliya Safaris- the perfect combination of wildlife conservation and luxury travel.

Discover Ameliya Safaris

A conservation-first, luxury safari company focused on providing intimate wildlife encounters and unique experiences with the highest level of service across India and Africa.

Now let's dive into

Conservation

In recent decades, many of the Earth’s vast wild spaces have shrunk to small pockets, putting significant pressure on wildlife, especially the ones that are already in a critical state, such as the tigers, rhinos, snow leopards, and elephants. Conserving these species is vital, as their survival is intricately linked to our own well-being.

My Goal? to protect, develop, and restore these habitats through the Ameliya Conservation Fund. Read on and click on the tabs to understand why we took up these projects and how they helped!

Habitat Redevelopment

Building waterholes for wildlife in water-scarce areas. We are proud of our three waterholes built in the periphery of Bandhavgarh National Park in Central India, which are home to 3, tiger families, in the home range of 5 leopards, 4 sloth bears, and thousands of herbivores and birds.

Anti Poaching

So far, Ameliya Safaris has electrified 175 Anti-Poaching camps with solar lamps, allowing rangers who up until then had no source of light during darkness, to work more effectively. We have also equipped rangers with 200 raincoats, 250 pairs of shoes, 200 bags, and 225 solar powered torches – all of which allows them to conduct their anti-poaching activities in a more effective manner.

Habitat restoration

Active response to natural & man-made calamities such as forest fires to minimise its adverse impacts. Working with authorities to regenerate lost habitats and support reconstruction & restoration efforts.

Education

We believe that education is the backbone of wildlife conservation. Our efforts are focused towards communities that live in close proximity to wild animals and children who will be the torch-bearers of the future. We facilitate these efforts through timely donations to educational programs of organizations such as The Last Wilderness Foundation and World Wildlife Fund’s.

What They Say About Us

Being on a Safari with Suyash was an amazing experience and adventure. He is such an amazingly inspiring person and excellent tracker, mentor and host. His team is equally great at handling things for us. We had the best sightings, lots of fun and delicious food throughout our 10 days in India across two different national parks with Suyash.

It was lovely meeting you all I’ve been to many Safaris but “Safari with Suyash” is another level. It’s not just the wildlife, it’s the experience where you get to connect with nature you get to meet like-minded people and share individual safari experiences. With Safari with Suyash, you don’t need to plan anything, just pack your bags and reach the destination, and everything else is taken care of. It also allows solo travellers like me. Safari with suyash is an addiction and it’s a good one. This was my fourth safari trip with suyash and many more to go. Thank you Suyash and Tarini you guys are the best hosts 🥂 See you all soon!!

I planned a surprise birthday safari for my significantly better other, perchance finding Suyash via his beautiful Instagram and instantly knew that I had found my tiger loving photographer guide for my tiger and photography loving husband!! From planning to execution, being an amazing photographer, knowledgeable guide and generous host, Suyash is the one I have to thank for making this the most memorable 30th birthday I could have wished for.

want to thank Suyash from the bottom of my heart for the best 5 days I’ve experienced in the wild. His thoughtfulness through every second of the tour is a gift I will always treasure. He taught me so much. Not just the photography, but also how to be more human through his gestures of kindness throughout the tour. I have so much gratitude for these unforgettable times filled with great energy, meaningful conversation, so much love and laughter. This is the first time in ALL my safari trips that I’ve experienced a feeling like THIS. People like Suyash make this world a nicer place❤ by taking common courtesy to uncommon levels. He really does know how to show people a great time ! And I am truly grateful to him for that. I’m blessed to have had the chance to have this unmatched experience.

As an adventurer, I have visited many parks around India. But Safari with Suyash came in as the most surprising and enchanting exploration I have ever had! I never had the chance of seeing the charm of a living tiger before. With Suyash Keshari I saw tigers, not only once but multiple times on a single safari trip. The most enthralling aspect of “Safari with Suyash” was the entire package – a series of spontaneously fulfilled moments he designs with utmost passion and care for his esteemed guests.

I am just a 17 year old and going 600 kilometres away from home alone with people I had never met was something that made me quite hesitant but in those 5 days, those strangers became a family to me. Suyash made me feel at home, his team, the hospitality, the food, the accommodation, everything was perfect. The best experience was the training on the field from Suyash himself.
