WHo are we

More than Travel. A movement for Nature, People and Purpose

The Nemophilist is led by four passionate individuals who live and breathe the wild:

🐅 Muzaffar Shaikh – naturalist, wildlife author & operations strategist
🦉 Abhay Uzagare – veteran conservationist & biodiversity expert
📸 Kartik Raman – award-winning wildlife photographer & field mentor
💼 Siddhartha – nature lover & banking professional (VP at a leading bank)

Together, we bring decades of experience from jungles, boardrooms, and classrooms — crafting journeys that blend adventure with purpose. Our tours are always guided by us personally, ensuring authenticity, depth, and a genuine connection to nature and people.

We are storytellers of the wild, conservationists at heart, and passionate explorers.

Our journeys are crafted by naturalists, photographers, and field experts who lead every expedition themselves — no outsourcing, no generic tours.

Every trip supports local communities, forest guards, and conservation efforts. With every safari, you’re helping at least 5–6 families in the region — from guides and gypsy drivers to homestay hosts and frontline staff.
