Located in Gujarat, India, Vantara is a closed-to-the-public sanctuary designed first-and-foremost for the well being of the animals who live there. Now, Galante offers viewers an unprecedented look behind its walls – into a world very few have ever been allowed to enter.

Spanning over 3,500 acres and home to over 1 million animals, Indian businessman Anant Ambani is the visionary behind Vantara who set out to redefine what animal rescue and welfare could look like in the modern world. What began as a mission to provide care for mistreated and displaced animals has evolved into one of the most ambitious conservation projects ever built – a sanctuary rooted in science, compassion and innovation.
