Built around wildlife.
Solara Safaris exists for those who want more than a sighting — who want to understand what they are witnessing, and to be present when something real happens. Each expedition is carefully curated to prioritise natural behaviour and respectful interaction with wildlife. We operate on a small scale, working with carefully selected local experts to ensure meaningful encounters and a consistently high-quality experience.
Small groups ensure minimal impact and more focused wildlife encounters
Conservation and ethics guide every decision we make
Each journey is designed around understanding wildlife in its natural environment
Our Love for Wildlife
Solara was built on years of waiting — for the right light, the right moment, the animal that finally turns and looks back. That patience is what we bring to every journey we design. Founded by wildlife photographer Nasha Desbarida, Solara Safaris was created to bring together a deep passion for wildlife with a strong focus on photography and the design of meaningful travel experiences.
