Tour Overview
Embark on an unforgettable journey with our guided safari, featuring the pristine wilderness of Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks, the premier wildlife sanctuaries in Central India. Renowned for their abundant wildlife and particularly for the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger, these parks offer an unparalleled opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural surroundings. Kanha stands out as one of India’s largest national parks, famed for its diverse Wildlife, including the Barasingha, the park’s brand ambassador, alongside other deer species. Its landscape is a picturesque mix of evergreen sal forests, creating a verdant backdrop for wildlife viewing. Meanwhile, Bandhavgarh National Park is celebrated for its biodiversity and historical allure, housing the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort amidst its rich flora and fauna.
The contrasting landscapes of these parks—from the lush sal forests of Kanha to the rugged terrains of Bandhavgarh – support diverse ecosystems, making every safari an adventure filled with moments of awe and wonder. These habitats provide a sanctuary for a wide range of wildlife, setting the stage for our safari that promise every moment to be filled with anticipation and natural beauty.
During the summer months, these parks become the stage for some of the most intimate wildlife encounters, especially with the Royal Bengal Tigers, as they frequent waterholes to quench their thirst and cool off. This season offers spectacular opportunities for observation and photography, capturing the essence of these majestic creatures in their elemental surroundings. Our tours are carefully timed to enhance the likelihood of witnessing these breathtaking moments, making summer an ideal season for this wildlife adventure. Our safari zones are meticulously chosen based on an in-depth understanding of the parks’ terrains and the territories of the tigers, significantly increasing the chances of sightings.
Join us on this guided safari through Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks for a thrilling engagement with the wild heart of India. Witness the Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat, and immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty and historical depth of these iconic reserves.
