Zee Zest has launched an adventurous show ‘Safari India’ which will take viewers across some of India’s prominent national parks with actor Rannvijay Singha.
With an aim to explore and experience India’s rich biodiversity, the people behind the parks, and the urgency of preserving the magnificent wildlife, the show explores seven of India’s national parks via an eight-part tentpole series.
The show premieres on January 31, 2022 on Zee Zest SD and HD, along with ZeeZest.com.
The seven national parks captured through Safari India’s lens are: Jim Corbett National Park in Nainital, Kaziranga National Park in Assam, Pakke Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh, Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, Gir National Park in Gujarat, Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa and Dubare Elephant Camp in Karnataka.
The host will be seen interacting with several forest rangers and park keepers, learning about their different wildlife preservation methods, surprisingly high usage of modern tech, rehabilitation centres, animal laws, and more across these preservation parks.
As viewers it would be imperative to understand the crucial role of preserving nature’s lifeline as Singha uncovers the same when he visits “The Centre for Bear Rehabilitation and Conservation” (CBRC), which is the first specialised rehabilitation centre for Asiatic black bears in India aimed at rehabilitating displaced cubs back into the wild which otherwise face major threats with persecution and habitat destruction.
Singha said, “Safari India was the most adventurous and thrilling experience I’ve had this year. It was a series of astonishing and larger-than-life experiences. I interacted with several forest rangers and learned about their efforts towards preserving our wildlife. I’ve had some exceptional learning experiences and it was only because of the show that I realised what a rich wildlife ecosystem our country has. I feel extremely honoured to be a part of the show and hope that with Zee Zest, we are able to yet again ‘Unlimit’ experiences for the viewers.”
Amit Nair, Business Head, Zee Zest, said, “In our quest to enhance our viewer experience and keeping in mind the ‘Unlimit’ promise we are very excited to partner with Rannvijay on this unique show. While most wildlife shows are voice over driven, here we have tried to place the audience in the thick of the action, giving them the vicarious pleasure to explore the wild through the show and possibly inspire them to undertake their own journeys of adventure. Our country is blessed with some of the most amazing forests and wildlife and we should all actively participate in conserving and protecting them.”
