I was looking to learn about natural history and wildlife sciences. Then I associated with this company. I have to say they are the experts and they know what they do. I attended their nature walks which they conduct often in the RAMSAR SITES around chennai. I got to learn many things about birds, natural habitats etc. Also I attended their wildlife tiger trails photography tour which they conduct regularly in Bandipur National Park , TadobaTiger reserve , and pench National Park. The mentoring was top notch . An well experienced mentor came onboard to the tour teaching us about wildlife history and about the tigers there.

I met Navaneeth during one of the fellowships, and at the time, I had just bought a new camera with a heavy lens. As an amateur photographer, I had a lot to learn, and Navaneeth was the perfect mentor. He taught me valuable techniques I never knew existed—like how to position my body when taking photos so the weight of the lens is distributed evenly, reducing shake. He also explained how deep breathing and physical exercises can improve wildlife photography by enhancing stability and focus. Navaneeth patiently shared countless tips and insights, making him the best person to learn from. His guidance truly made a difference in my photography journey.

Energetic and enthusiastic group. Anu shared her knowledge about insects and her detailed information about ants was lovely to hear. She also talked about how public can contribute their part to segregate dry and wet waste.

Mr.Navaneeth (Flying Hornbill) is a resourceful and knowledgeable person. I had a delightful workshop session where I learnt basics of Bird Photography.

Raj Kumar

can say I had a good chat than a workshop...was able up some skills and tricks of bird photography through Navaneet...felt at home...welcoming person...even though been a dalr user since long time....being first time to super telephoto and bird photography was little sceptical..did not feel feared by him at all that its very difficult...too much disciplining or policing was not at all done....it was all friendly chat and guiding felt like talking to new friend...great experience...probably some more together would have been added bonus...

Had met Navaneeth in Bharatpur on a birding expedition and got to know that he conducted tours to Tadoba. For any wildlife buff the best place to catch tiger sightings across the world would be Tadoba, and no better person to get this organised than Navaneeth and his team at Flying Hornbill. Right from the word go , the trip was well organised and we had 10 safaris over 5 days. A very comfortable , economical and well serviced homestay provided for our dinners and lunches accompanied by wonderful storied from Navaneeth's experience and journey with wildlife. Highly recommend this trip with Flying Hornbill for a lifetime learning experience

The Thekady trip was well organised by Mr. Navaneth Krishnan. Our stay at the Monsoon Retreats run by Mr.Subeesh was very good amidst the elakkai plantations and Jack trees. Thekkady has a lot to offer during monsoon season. We enjoyed the stay, the food and the activities that were arranged for us. The activities included Boating and Trekking at the Periyar, A full day Jeep Safari and birding activities. Thank you Subeesh and Navaneeth🙏

Extremely professional service. Have collaborated with Navaneeth very many times, even before this fantastic institution came into existence. His love for nature and the seriousness of his vow to conserve is unparalleled. Even event photography with them is smooth. With high clarity live streaming to candid and portait shots they ace it all. All the very best guys on all your future projects. Eagerly awaiting an opportunity to travel with you on your wildlife safaris!
