Nature Safari India organized our private 2 Weeks Safari in Central India plus a couple of Sightseeing and we are very happy to having choose this agency. I found them on the responsible tiger tourism association (TOFTigers) and I liked them from the very first contact. From the first email more than two years ago to the end of our trip in April 2022, the service was great, the selection of the itinerary, Parks, lodges and guides was perfect. And this although the very difficult travel situation due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Our trip had to be postponed and rescheduled twice (we were supposed to travel at the end of March 2020), Mr. Deepkul was always very professional, competent, responsive and helpful with all my requests and he went the extra mile. We had a wonderful time in India, we saw a lot of tigers and wildlife, and we hope to come back soon. We warmly recommend Nature Safari India to everyone and in the future, we’ll surely book another tour with them.

We did 5 days of safaris with Sharad Vats's team, in Kanga and Pench, in April 2022. Right from the planning to the actual execution, Sharad was accessible, knowledgeable and helpful, to ensure we got a good experience. Not only was the itinerary planned and tweaked multiple times to suit us, but our accommodation and food needs were also taken care of well. We enjoyed the trip immensely, especially because Sharas understood that we were not just after tiger sightings, but enjoyed birds and trees and other wildlife too, and recommended an itinerary accordingly. The accommodation and food was great. And my particular need of a wifi connection even in these remote areas (because there was a study commitment I could not miss) was also met. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing and totally unforgettable trip to India organised by Nature Safari India, in particular Deepkul (and previously Manjeet). I organised the trip 2 years ago just as the pandemic hit, I had been communicating with Nature Safari India constantly for quite a few months until we finalised on an itinerary, nothing was too much trouble and replies to queries were almost instant. When it came to the actual holiday, all we had to do was get to New Delhi. (As a warning it isn't straightforward to get visas anymore) From then on all was taken care of. We were met at the airport and were looked after from that point, including checking us into the hotel and providing a car and driver for our exclusive use until we left New Delhi. We were driven from each location by drivers who looked after us incredibly well, stopped/slowed down if we wanted to take pictures, they also pointed out interesting sites as we passed. If you have time, I would recommend travelling by car to different locations, as you see a lot more of India. Deepkul monitored us through our whole holiday, checking that we were OK, getting reports from each of our guides and making sure we were happy with our holiday. Our guides and drivers, throughout, were fantastic, so friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful and polite.

The Reserve contains both Himalayan and peninsular flora and wildlife due to its location in the central Himalayan foothills.

Established on August 8, 1936, as Hailey National Park in honour of Sir Malcolm Hailey, the then-governor of the United Provinces, the park’s name was later changed to Ramganga National Park in 1952, and then to Corbett National Park in honour and memory of the late Jim Corbett, the legendary hunter, naturalist-turned-author and photographer who assisted in the establishment and demarcation of the park’s boundaries.

The tiger population in Bandhavgarh National Park is very large and well-known. The legendary White Tigers of Rewa were found in this region. The park is home to a wide variety of wild animals, such as leopards, blue bulls, Indian bison, chausinghas (four-horned antelopes), spotted deer, sambar deer, wild pigs, sloth bears, foxes, jackals, and wild dogs, among others. The Park is home to over 250 different kinds of birds and at least 22 different types of mammals. Cobras, Kraits, Vipers, Rat snakes, Pythons, Monitor Lizards, and turtles are just few of the reptile species that call this park home. Bandhavgarh is home to two types of primates: rhesus macaques and Hanuman langurs. For over two millennia, the park has served as a thriving community hub. Ancient texts like the Narad-Panch Ratra and the Shiva Purana both make mention to it.

The caves hewn into the sandstone to the north of the fort are the oldest evidence of human occupation in the park. Many of them have Brahmi inscriptions from the 1st century BCE. The fort has changed hands between several dynasties over the centuries, including the Maghas in the 1st century CE and the Vakatakas in the 3rd century CE. The Chandela dynasty was one of many that followed to rule Bandhavgarh. Bandhavgarh was the private property of the Maharaja of Rewa after India gained independence from Britain, but he donated it to the state in 1968 so that it could be turned into a national park. The park’s establishment led to a significant increase in wildlife numbers as poaching and hunting were curbed. In particular, tigers thrived when the 1986 addition supplied additional forest.

Stay in the lodge for the night.

Places to stay: Tree House Hideaway or something similar

Day 10: Bandhavgarh-Kanha (Drive 280 kms/06-hour drive)

The 940 square kilometres of Kanha’s ssal and bamboo forests, rolling grasslands, and flowing streams make up the reserve’s spectacular natural grandeur. The park, established in 1974 as part of Project Tiger, is home to the critically endangered hardground Barasingha (Cervus Duvaceli Branderi).

This is the land that inspired Rudyard Kipling to create his evocative depiction of the jungle in The Jungle Book. The Lodge provides a packed breakfast, which is put out on the safari vehicle’s bonnet and eaten at a predetermined location. In the early morning, you can enjoy the wilds of Kanha while having breakfast.
If you haven’t seen the rare tiger yet, keep looking while taking in the revitalising atmosphere. We recommend getting back from your safari no later than 11:30. Get cleaned up while I make lunch.

After lunch, head out to Kanha National Park for an afternoon jeep safari to spot tigers. Kanha National Park was established in 1955 under a special statute. Since then, numerous comprehensive conservation initiatives have been implemented to ensure the long-term safety of the park’s wildlife and plants. Nearly 38 animal species have been spotted in Kanha. The largest bovine in the world, the largest Indian deer, and the only four-horned antelope in the world all make their homes in this park. Nilgai antelope, sloth bears, dholes (Indian wild dogs), and even the rare Leopard are also regular visitors. Storks, egrets, black ibis, raptors, owls, and nightjars are just a few of the more than 300 bird species that call this park home.

The safari ends at 6 o’clock, so you better get back. There will be dinner and lodging at the Lodge.
