Central Indian Tiger Safari
April 18 - 27, 2024
Join us in Central India, a land of diverse culture, geography, flora and fauna, and home to some of the worlds rarest species of animals and birds. Our tour takes us through three of India’s best tiger parks and offers amazing opportunities to view Indian wildlife up-close, in its natural habitat. The tour starts in Delhi, the capital city, before flying to Central India to visit the jungles that were the setting of Rudyard Kiplings "Jungle Book".
Our first stop is Bandhavgarh, situated in the Vindhya Mountains, with woodlands, rocky hills and grassland valleys. Set around an historic site with carvings, temples and an ancient fort, this park has plenty to see, including the highest concentration of vehicle friendly tigers in a tourist zone.
We continue on to Kanha National Park, most famous for being Rudyard Kipling’s inspiration to write ‘The Jungle Book’. Its topography includes lush sal and bamboo forests and open grassy
meadows. The Park's landmark achievement is the preservation of the rare hard ground Swamp Deer or the Barasingha, and hence saving it from near extinction.
Our last stop is Pench National Park, located in the Seoni and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh. The forests of Pench are the original Kipling Land. The forest of Seoni was the setting of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book. It has been included under the umbrella of Project Tiger as the 19th Project Tiger Reserve. Besides tigers, this park has the highest density of herbivores in India
