Come forth into the light of things let nature be your teacher
– William Wordsworth
Shrouded in a wrap of mystery, the leopard is indisputably the prince of the big cats—sleek, secretive, and supremely self-assured. Among the most adaptable big cats, leopards thrive in forests, cold deserts, and on the edges of towns and villages in India.

Indian Leopards
In the high-altitude wilderness of Ladakh, snow leopards — known locally as “shan” — move silently across frozen ridges and rocky cliffs. Amidst the stillness of monasteries and the icy Indus river, a quiet bond between locals and the elusive Ghost of the Himalayas continues to thrive. Locals, who revere these cats, often head out before sunrise with scopes to track their presence.
Jawai, a rocky wilderness of southern Rajasthan, is home to around 60 wild leopards that roam freely near villages and temples. The local Rabari tribe sees them as spiritual guardians, not threats — fostering a rare, peaceful coexistence.

A photo odyssey with Sara Jenner
For as long as Sara could remember she has had a passion for travel and searching for the wildest and most remote places on earth. Back in the UK when she was only 10, she remembers trading in her favourite pink bicycle for the money to start her travel fund. Every birthday and Christmas she added a little more in the kitty and finally, at 18 she realised her dream of diving at the Great Barrier Reef!
Ever since Sara has been travelling the globe in search of wild and remote places and has spent many months volunteering on wildlife conservation projects in a bid to help endangered species. Sara’s love of wildlife and the great outdoors has taken her to all seven continents. Over the past decade she has travelled extensively in the polar regions working as an Expedition Leader on small vessels in the High Arctic, Antarctica, and Sub Antarctic Islands.
Sara’s love for the wild extends beyond icy landscapes. As a photographic guide in the heart of Botswana, the enchanting realms of East Africa, and the mystical landscapes of India, she truly leads a life of two wondrous halves. With each click of her camera, Sara weaves captivating tales of nature and its untamed inhabitants, crafting exquisite snapshots of life’s most precious moments.
Step into Sara’s world and let her lens transport you to the untamed, where the beauty of wildlife dances in every frame.
