Erwin D’rose
Expedition Leader
Born in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, Erwin has been lucky to have started his journey as a kid! Jabalpur being the epicenter of all tiger reserves of MP, Erwin would travel to them frequently. He has always loved the jungles therefore he paved his path straight to Kanha tiger reserve. "Jungles are never scary”, says Erwin, it is but a work of your conditioning as a child. Over the years he's only grown to love the peace and tranquility for which he's grateful to his parents. Currently working as a lodge manager and naturalist at an eco-friendly resort in Satpura, Erwins experiences are best told around a born fire. His days are packed with his work and when he's not in the jungles, he's either with his horses that he calls his kids, or he's out on a walk looking for tracks of animal near the little waterhole in his resort. Erwin is also an expedition leader who leads trips to wildlife destination across the country, and those who travel with him swears by his company for all their travel trips. His interpretive guiding style and his hosting skills makes him a brilliant and an award-winning naturalist.
