On the occasion of World Wildlife Day, Taj Safaris, India's premier and exclusive luxury wildlife circuit, reinforces its dedication to sustainable tourism practices. Operating in India and Nepal, Taj Safaris offers an unrivalled interpretive wildlife experience that is deeply rooted in a successful and sustainable ecotourism model. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the splendour of the natural world, with the chance to encounter India's iconic Royal Bengal Tigers or Nepal's majestic one-horned Rhinoceros in their natural habitats.
Taj Safaris, a venture in line with the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) ESG+ framework named Paathya, integrates social responsibility and environmental conservation into its core operations.

The safari lodges, known for their luxurious accommodations and expertly trained naturalists, offer guests an unforgettable wildlife experience. Locations include Mahua Kothi in Bandhavgarh National Park, Baghvan in Pench National Park, Pashan Garh in Panna National Park, Banjaar Tola in Kanha National Park, and Meghauli Serai in Chitwan National Park. Each lodge is committed to sustainability, from cuisine themes that reduce food miles to sourcing local, fresh, and organically produced ingredients.
Taj Safaris not only provides a gateway to explore the majestic beauty of wildlife but also plays a pivotal role in the conservation of biodiversity and the upliftment of surrounding communities. By aligning luxury tourism with ecological and social principles, Taj Safaris sets a benchmark for responsible and sustainable wildlife tourism.

Eight Continents Hotels & Resorts, a trailblazer in the hospitality industry, is rapidly transforming the global landscape with its innovative approach and a vision for global growth. Established in 2020 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, the brand has quickly emerged as a force to reckon with, aiming to become the fastest-growing hotel management chain in the world.
A key component of Eight Continents’ success is its commitment to blending exceptional service with advanced digital infrastructure and a dynamic, cohesive team. This combination has allowed the brand to set new industry standards, crafting extraordinary experiences for its guests and redefining what it means to stay in a luxury hotel.
India, with its rising prominence as a global tourism destination, holds a significant place in Eight Continents' strategic expansion plans. The company has successfully introduced its unique Emotique Hotels concept across key regions, creating spaces that go beyond traditional hospitality by offering a deeply personal, emotional experience. Every Emotique property is carefully curated to connect with guests on a sensory level, blending awe-inspiring architecture with serene environments and personalized services to evoke joy, peace, and wonder.
“Our mission is to craft spaces where guests feel understood and inspired,” says CEO Haninder Sachdeva. “Hospitality should not only cater to physical comforts but also nurture the soul, leaving a lasting emotional impact.” This philosophy extends throughout the company, with every team member trained to act as an “architect of emotion,” creating genuine connections and ensuring guests feel valued and cared for.
The brand’s commitment to holistic experiences is reflected in its dining and wellness offerings. At Eight Continents properties, dining is elevated to an art form, with every dish telling a unique story designed to evoke nostalgia, excitement, or comfort. Complementing this, the brand’s wellness initiatives, such as meditation sessions, mindfulness workshops, and rejuvenating spa treatments, ensure guests find emotional renewal and relaxation during their stay.
Despite its rapid growth, Eight Continents faces challenges in talent acquisition and technology adoption. However, the brand’s vision remains clear: to continue expanding, offering emotionally enriching experiences, and reshaping the future of hospitality worldwide.
