Donald Trump Jr., son of US President Donald Trump, visited Jamnagar, Gujarat, as a guest of the Ambani family, where he toured temples and the Vantara wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center, led by Anant Ambani.

During the visit, Trump Jr. explored the expansive 3,000-acre Vantara campus, located next to the Reliance Jamnagar Refinery Complex, and praised its scale and commitment to animal welfare. “These animals live better than I live,” he remarked, calling the experience “incredible.”


“The vision, the conservation benefit of taking all these animals, rescuing them and giving them this life… This is better than how I live. It is so spectacular to see the animals here get a habitat that mimics their natural habitat. You see a life in their eyes that you just don’t see anywhere else," he said in a video message.

He added, “I highly recommend that anyone who has a chance to come here to Vantara must visit. It is truly a wonder of the world. And what you have done with your vision is unlike anything I have ever seen."

Vanatara includes a state-of-the-art animal hospital and research centre spanning over one lakh square feet, equipped with MRI and CT scan units, an ICU, endoscopy suites, dialysis support, and advanced OR1 surgical technology.

It has also been instrumental in rescuing nearly 200 leopards injured in road accidents or human–wildlife conflicts, and has relocated over 1,000 crocodiles from an overcrowded facility in Tamil Nadu.

Trump Jr. was accompanied by his partner, Bettina Anderson, along with Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, and also attended a private dandiya event hosted by the Ambanis, joining in the traditional dance celebrations.
