Overview

Nestled just 30 minutes from Jaipur and set on 180 acres of rewilded scrubland near Amer Fort, Dera Amer Wilderness Camp offers a secluded luxury glamping experience surrounded by the Aravalli hills. Operated by the Singh family since the 1980s, the camp prioritizes conservation, local community engagement, and the well-being of its rescued elephants, Laxmi and Rangmala.

The camp features six colonial-style safari tents furnished with campaign-era furniture, comfortable king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms, Forest Essentials toiletries, plus heating and cooling systems. Despite its wilderness feel, it ensures modern comforts: private butlers, electricity, and hot showers—no minibar or spa, but plenty of wildlife.


Signature Experiences

  • Elephant sanctuary: Walk, feed, and bathe rescued elephants—no riding—under expert guidance.

  • Dining with wildlife: Enjoy al fresco meals or high tea with elephants wandering nearby, using fresh ingredients from the camp’s organic farm.

  • Nature on foot: Elephant-led walking safaris in private scrub forest to spot wildlife like peacocks, jackals, and birds.

  • Wilderness living: Relax by a natural pool, around bonfires, evening folk performances, and unwind under the stars.


Conservation & Community

The Singh family restored the land, avoided commercial development, and now steward wildlife and local economies, supporting village schools and employing local staff. Guests partake in a positive-impact hospitality model where tourism funds elephant care and local wellbeing.
