- Connect with the nomadic culture of Rural Rajasthan, make real human connections with the local communities and the teams, many of whom come from the local villages. See first-hand how luxury tourism can benefit rural communities and wildernesses.
- JAWAI’s location provides for an entirely unique experience from the rest of Rajasthan. Life at the property celebrates the great outdoors. Days are spent on wilderness adventures; think breakfasts in the bush, picnics in the wild, lunch by lakes and delicious dinners under constellations of an unending starry sky.
- Photography walks give you the opportunity to shoot over 250 species of different birds and wild leopards. The big cats here are a highlight at this enchanting place.
- Unlike other safari’s in India, here you can walk, cycle, hike, and be free to roam the wilderness.
- Each tent is fitted with its own private veranda, equipped with a writing desk and seating area that looks onto unobstructed, spectacular views of the dramatic wilderness around. Each tent is also equipped with a smart and efficient en suite bathroom.
- The staff are exceptionally charming.
- All SUJÁN hotels offer ethically sound, authentic experiences in unique areas of pristine wilderness, which benefit local communities as well as play a role in preserving indigenous wildlife and their habitats.
- There is no ‘set time’ for meals – you can eat where and when you want. What could be more dramatic than a granite kopje, which serves as a private dining room overlooking the expanse of the JAWAI wilderness? Breakfasts in the bush and picnics in the wild, luncheons by the lakes and embracing dinners under constellations of an unending sky, make for stunning options.
- The region is home to the charismatic Rabari herdsmen, a people at peace with the indigenous wildlife, including the resident spotted cat, the ultimate showstopper that captivates guests both at camp and on safari.
- In the last year the team have successfully launched a completely free Mobile Medical Primary Health Care service that operates 6 days a week, in the 5 villages neighbouring SUJÁN JAWAI. They have donated a fully equipped medical van and with it provide a driver, a doctor & nurse and a supply of medicines to give free primary healthcare to the local communities.
- The team have adopted 9 schools in the area and put acres of land back under wildlife.
- Accommodation:
There are 10 luxurious tents including one royal suite and a family suite. Inspired by the granite hills of the region, the camp embraces a modern and chic style whilst remaining authentic and true to its location. Each tent is filled with accessories, like candleholders and lamps, sourced from India based international designer Michael Aram’s Botanical Leaf Collection. The interiors are carefully matched to include a splash of scarlet red – inspired by the colour of the Rabari turban – set against the monochrome white and black. - Location:
JAWAI’s location, the unique flavour of this land and its offerings, provide for an entirely different experience from the rest of Rajasthan, yet there are abundant legacies around. The area makes for comfortable access to the citadels of Kumbhalgarh Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For those still thirsting for monuments, the sculpted temples at Ranakpur are only an hour’s drive away from camp. Two of Rajasthan’s most visited destinations, Udaipur and Jodhpur, are equidistant from JAWAI and easily accessible by car. - Getting there:
The tented camps are a 2.5 hour drive from Jodhpur and Udaipur to a drop off point where all drivers drop off guests so the camps location can remain a secret. Here, you are met by a ranger with a cold drink and a smart safari Jeep waiting to whisk you off into camp. - What to pack:
For your safari packing it is advised that you stick to a tonal, neutral colour palette (khaki, beige, light brown) and avoid dark colours as they absorb heat, and bright colours as they can attract bugs. Comfortable clothes can be worn throughout the rest of the trip. The team provide you with binoculars but you are more than welcome to bring your own. - Restaurants:
There is a dining tent where guests can have breakfast before or after their morning safari. Enjoy delicious buffet style salads and fresh pasta or fish procured from local fishermen, cooked right in front of you in the live kitchen. Meals are created using home-grown produce from their own kitchen garden or fresh-farmed ingredients sourced from local farmers. In the evenings, the meals are themed on Indian cuisine. - Spa:
Dramatic views and an idyllic location make the Spa at JAWAI a perfect spot to unwind, relax and recoup. A diverse menu of therapies are available for you to choose from. Yoga is also available on request. - Signature Activities:
Embark on a safari drive to spot the elusive leopard accompanied by your tracker–guide in a customized 4×4.
