An intimate fireside chat hosted by FSR Travels, Avant Garde Consulting and Great Plains Conservation brings Africa’s wilderness stories to a select audience of travellers and conservation enthusiasts in Gurugram.
In a market where curated, experience-led travel continues to grow in demand, FSR Travels, in collaboration with Avant Garde Consulting and Great Plains Conservation, hosts an exclusive storytelling evening in Gurugram. Held at DLF The Camellias, the event introduces a highly select group of 25 guests to the depth, emotion and conservation impact behind Africa’s most pristine safari landscapes.
For the trade, the gathering reflects a rising appetite among Indian luxury travellers for immersive wildlife travel anchored in sustainability and storytelling.
Stories from the African bush take centre stage
The evening features a fireside conversation with Nigel Crofton of Great Plains Conservation, known globally for its award-winning wildlife filmmakers and its portfolio of high-end safari camps across Kenya, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Through firsthand accounts and cinematic narratives, guests experience an insider’s perspective on wildlife encounters, community relationships and the landscapes that define Great Plains’ conservation-first approach.
Attendees enjoy an evening of cocktails and dinner as Nigel brings alive the “African soul” through stories that highlight both adventure and responsibility — a theme increasingly resonant among Indian outbound wildlife travellers.
A brand philosophy rooted in sustainability
Great Plains Conservation’s presence underscores a wider industry pivot toward meaningful, transformative travel. Its camps are recognised for exclusivity, low-impact operations and community engagement — factors that align strongly with India’s growing luxury-safari segment, where travellers seek not only premium experiences but purpose-led journeys.
The event serves as a prelude to deeper engagement between Indian travellers and African conservation-driven tourism models.
Strengthening connections through curated experiences
FSR Travels and Avant Garde Consulting emphasise that such intimate, by-invitation events are designed to build informed traveller communities and strengthen partnerships between trade stakeholders and global conservation operators. The gathering celebrates the spirit of travel, authentic storytelling and a shared commitment to shaping responsible travel choices.
As attendees depart, the evening leaves behind a memorable impression — a blend of adventure, conservation values and anticipation for journeys yet to unfold.
