Saffron & Marula

Your Tiger Safari Awaits

Beyond Namibia’s vast horizons, another wilderness invites discovery.

A world of ancient forests and golden light, where each day unfolds with quiet anticipation.

I am Claudine, founder of Villa Margherita.

My passion for meaningful hospitality extends naturally into the wild, always looking for places where encounters are rare, authentic, and deeply moving.

Through Saffron & Marula, I curate journeys into India’s remarkable wilderness areas, in collaboration with trusted local experts and exceptional naturalist guides.

Guests may join intimate, small-group departures - personally accompanied by me or opt for fully tailor-made private journeys.

In India, we track Bengal tigers at dawn, encounter leopards, black panthers and sloth bears, and explore grasslands where one-horned rhinos roam - alongside extraordinary birdlife.

Each journey can be extended to include the Taj Mahal, Varanasi, Jaipur and beyond - always thoughtfully curated.
