Location

India

Experience the wilds of India with trusted guide Amy Krantz and your local guide, whose deep knowledge bring each moment into focus. At first light, set out into the forest, where the scent of sal and the rustle of langurs mark the beginning of the day. With patience and sharp eyes, track tigers moving like shadows through the tall grass, their presence often felt before it is seen. Between drives, rest at the luxury lodges, explore on foot, or simply take in the stillness of your surroundings. Evenings bring stories by the fire, as the forest settles and stars rise overhead.

Your Private Guide


Amy Krantz

Private Safari Guide

With a background in both guiding and hospitality, Amy brings five years of experience and a calm, guest-focused approach to every safari. Trained through andBeyond and FGASA, she is grounded in professional guiding standards and a strong sense of care. Her interests in birding, storytelling and interpretative guiding are matched by her warmth and clarity in the field.

Since joining WildEarth in 2023, Amy has become known for her gentle style, infectious laugh and deep love for the wild, especially baby rhinos and a young leopard named Tshipondo, whose journey she has proudly followed. Amy guides with confidence and a deep respect for nature.

She continues to grow her knowledge through ongoing training and field time, and is particularly drawn to the smaller details—tracks in the sand, nesting birds, and the silent exchanges between animals. For Amy, guiding is not about performance, but presence: offering guests the space to notice, feel, and connect.
