SUJÁN JAWAI
Jawai Bandh

SUJÁN JAWAI is the third luxury tented wildlife camp by the renowned SUJÁN brand in India, joining the ranks of other celebrated properties like SUJÁN Sher Bagh in Ranthambore and SUJÁN The Serai in Jaisalmer. Located between Jodhpur and Udaipur, SUJÁN JAWAI is nestled in the heart of the ancient Aravalli mountain range, making it the only property within this untouched wilderness, home to the elusive wild leopard.

True to SUJÁN's signature style, JAWAI seamlessly blends wildlife and culture, offering ultra-luxury accommodations while practicing low-impact eco-tourism and prioritising conservation. The camp features just 10 luxurious tents, including 8 luxury tents, 1 family tented suite and 1 royal tented suite, providing privacy, space and comfort. Each tent is designed in a contemporary Out-of-Africa style with a distinctive Rajasthani twist, featuring canvas walls adorned with black-and-white leopard photographs, steel and black leather furnishings, handcrafted traditional artefacts, private bathrooms with rain showers and accents of red inspired by the vibrant turbans of the Rabari tribe.

The Royal Tented Suite is the newest addition to SUJÁN JAWAI, offering an unrivalled luxury experience in the wilderness. With complete privacy, a heated swimming pool, a dedicated private butler, a private jeep for game drives and stunning views of the dramatic granite hills, it’s the epitome of indulgence. The camp also features a dining tent, a lounge tent, a spa offering wellness therapies and treatments, and a swimming pool. For a truly unique experience, private dining options are available, including breakfasts in the bush, picnics in the wild, and dinners under the vast, starlit sky.

SUJÁN JAWAI is surrounded by spectacular natural beauty; craggy granite formations, caves, scrublands, grasslands and winding sand riverbeds. This extraordinary setting offers exceptional wildlife encounters, with the property located just minutes away from Jawai Bandh, one of the largest water reservoirs in western Rajasthan, which attracts a diverse array of birdlife and wildlife. Accompanied by expert trackers and guides, guests can explore the wilderness in sleek, open-topped 4×4 safari jeeps, with an impressive 75% chance of spotting a wild leopard. Visitors can also meet the charismatic Rabari herdsmen, a semi-nomadic community that has lived harmoniously alongside the region’s wildlife for centuries.

Beyond the wildlife, SUJÁN JAWAI offers a range of cultural excursions, including visits to the exquisitely carved temples of Ranakpur, the majestic Kumbhalgarh Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and engaging in local experiences such as street cricket with children, visiting SUJÁN’s adopted school projects, hiking to temples at dawn, or cycling through nearby villages.

SUJÁN JAWAI is a seasonal, luxury tented camp open to guests from September 25th until April 30th each year, making it the perfect destination for a wildlife safari and cultural immersion in Rajasthan.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
