With the mesmerizing beauty of the Royal Bengal Tiger and the luxury of the Taj Group of Hotels, this tiger safari in India is sure to leave you spellbound. The safari brings to you, not one, not two but five tiger safari parks for your next wilderness expedition in India. These parks are an escapade not only for Tigers, but also for other wildlife such as the Indian Leopard, Sloth Bear, Bison, Barasingha, and close to 350 species of birds.

Central India, is gifted with some of the most breathtaking landscapes, featuring a network of rivers, plateaus, and mountain ranges with an altitudinal variation from 150 m above sea level to 1300 m. Weathered over millions of years by the forces of nature, the area is also blessed with a system of ravines, gorges with a variety of vegetation that harbors its magnificent flora and fauna. It is no wonder that many travelers that embark on a wildlife safari here feel as though they are a part of Rudyard Kipling’s very own world of animals.

Joy! This was my FIRST tiger safari! My best friend and I chose Nature Safari India to organize our trip to Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks. I have nothing but rave reviews for Nature Safari India. Deepkul, our agent, was phenomenal! Deepkul arranged everything for us, with attention to details we had no clue about. Deepkul was always available for any questions via whatsapp chat/calls, helped us with flights, getting our visas and provided helpful tips. I was impressed BEFORE leaving the USA. During our time in India, all the staff at Nature Safari India were courteous, friendly and helpful.

After a very succesfull Tiger-safari with "Nature Safari India" in 2022 we decided to return to India this year. This time we focussed on bird-watching and bird-photography, together with Mr Deepkul Chetri, who was always very quick to respond and gave us very good advice, we set up a 3-week programme in the Nort-East of India. We visited Nameri NP, Kaziranga NP (with a lot of Rhino's!!), Mishmi Hills, Dibru Saikhowa, Dihing Patkai where we did amazing birding trips, nature walks and boat-safari's. Again it was a very succesfull adventure, everything was perfect organized.

Unbelievable experience and a wonderful company to work with. We spent 3 weeks in India, visiting 4 tiger reserves as well as some of the cities. Can't recommend this company enough - Sharad was always very quick to respond to my questions and nothing was too much trouble. At every turn we were met and escorted by either a driver or, while in Delhi by Deep who was always there, smiling, to greet or farewell us on the next sector of our trip. During our visit to Vrindavan for the Holi festival, we were guided and protected by another member of the team, whose patience and care was just amazing.I would return to India just to book with Nature Safaris again.

Awesome Experience! Top notch and will use them again! We did the 4 day 3 night Jim Corbett National Park Tiger Safari. We left and returned to Delhi. It was an awesome and one of the highlights of our three weeks in India! Our guide VJ and driver Savage were very friendly and knowledgeable. With four separate tiger sightings (along with plenty of deer, antelope, elephants and birds and two of the six safaris were in the rain). We’ve done safaris in Africa and Sri Lanka – this experience ranks with the best. Sharad’s customer service was top notch and very proactive. There were some bumps in the road – it is India of course, but Sharad always reached out proactivity.

Five weeks in India, 20 tigers, and so much more. All that said, the trip was amazing. We ended up seeing 20 tigers in 28 game drives. We were always doing game drives in the park's core zones. We did game drives in 5 parks (Tadoba, Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Jim Corbett, and Kaziranga). We got over jet lag in a Kerala house boat. We toured Delhi, Mumbai, Arangabad (Ajunta & Ellora Caves), and Agra. We celebrated Holi in the birthplace of Krishna. And we spent 4 days on the Brahmaputra River in Assam. We were not ready to return home at the end of our 5 weeks!

DAY 03: In Panna

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at the Lodge. Morning & evening jeep tiger safari in Panna national park.

Panna is situated in the Vindhyan Hill range and spreads over the Panna and Chhatarpur districts in the northern part of Madhya Pradesh. Panna National Park is the most important protected area in the north-central highlands of India, as it links the eastern and western populations of wild animals through the Vindhyan ranges.

Situated just 31 km from the world-famous temples at Khajuraho, Panna National Park is located along the banks of the Ken River. The Park is endowed with deep ravines, cascading waterfalls, and thick teak forests, with many plateaus, and sprawling flatlands punctuated by hills, deep valleys, and gorges. The terrain is largely rocky and uneven. It encompasses mixed dry deciduous forests with short grasses and open woods. Lower altitudes are characterized by taller grasses and closed woodlands. Common bamboo also occurs on hilly slopes and gorges.

Home to the majestic tiger, guests also have a good chance to see leopard, wolf, hyena, jackal, and sloth bear. The reserve is also well known for sightings of nilgai, sambar, chital, wild boar, and Indian crocodile

Accommodation: Taj Pashan Garh or Similar

DAY 04: Panna – Bandhavgarh (240 Kms/05 – hour drive)

After breakfast, drive to Bandhavgarh National Park (240 km /5 hrs). On arrival, check into the Taj Mahua Kothi. Neighboring Bandhavgarh National Park, one of India’s most scenic national parks, this intimate lodge features twelve enchanting guest suites, constructed in the charming local Madhya Pradesh style. The name Mahua Kothi draws its inspiration from one of India’s most beautiful trees, the Madhuca Indica, or as it is commonly known, the Mahua or butter tree.

Pronounced ‘ma-hoo-aa’, this tree with its fleshy off–white flowers play a central role in festivals and rituals. The Lodge sprawls over the 40-acre land, just 20 minutes from the park entrance. The original Kothi (homestead) comprises the guest areas and has been beautifully renovated, and the guest accommodation is all brand new.

Guests delight in the yoga amenities provided in a basket (complete with instructions), as well as traditional Indian games of marbles and Chaupad. Kettles of boiling water on chulhas (charcoal burners) are brought out with early morning tea to the kutiyas. Bicycles, parked in the kutiya courtyards, are an invitation to explore.

Lunch at the resort and around 1430hrs proceed for the afternoon game drive to the national park. The safari starting time varies depending on the month of the year. Bandhavgarh is a forest with a great reputation for its Tiger sightings. Tracking the majestic and elusive Tiger will be an experience you will not forget. Unlike Africa, where the habitat, wildlife, and technology assist you in tracking wildlife, the encounters in India are quite contrasting, learning, and thrilling to say the least. The time well spent in the national park during the safari with the skilled drivers and experienced guides will remain etched in your memory. Afternoon safaris are usually 3-4 hours, which ends just before sunset. Dinner and overnight at lodge.

Accommodation: Taj Mahua Kothi or Similar

DAY 05 – 07: In Bandhavgarh

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at the Lodge. Morning & Evening Jeep drive in the park

Bandhavgarh national park situated in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park is a 448 km2 renowned tiger reserve nestled among the picturesque Vindhya and Satpura ranges. This is one of India’s most beautiful national parks. The dramatic landscape features tropical forests and woodlands, and steep rocky hills with flat grasslands in the valleys below. An ancient 2000-year-old fort, 10th-century statue of Lord Vishnu, and the dense Sal jungle combined with the grasslands make Bandhavgarh one of the most extraordinary parks in India.

Bandhavgarh supports one of the highest densities of tigers on the Subcontinent. Its hilly open terrain includes many large grassland meadows that offer good chances of sightings. The density of its big cat population has made Bandhavgarh world famous. The Park is also home to a large variety of mammals: leopard, chital (spotted deer), Sambar deer, nilgai, wild boar, chinkara, sloth bear, rhesus macaque, grey langur, jungle cat, hyena, porcupine, jackal, fox, and wild dog.

The luxurious, yet lightweight, en suite tents have been designed in a contemporary style, with pressed bamboo wall panels, gorgeous bamboo floors, and locally crafted furniture hewn from the timber of exotic Indian trees. The textiles have been designed in tones of delicate saffron and acid-washed green, with rich block-printed Madhya Pradesh cotton and silks. The atmosphere is light, ethereal, and organic. The lodge boasts two elegant camps of nine suites, each with its own intimate tented sitting area. Banjaar Tola has its own unique identity, celebrating the Bastar and Dogra art that hails from nearby Chattisgarh.

Accommodation: Taj Banjaar Tola or Similar

DAY 09 - 10: In Kanha

Wake up at 0500hrs with tea/coffee and biscuits and proceed for the morning safari to the National park.

Kanha’s sal and bamboo forests, rolling grasslands, and meandering streams stretch over 940 sq km in dramatic natural splendor, which forms the core of the reserve. Created in 1974 under Project Tiger, the park is one of the few habitats of the rare hardground Barasingha (Cervus Duvaceli Branderi).

This is the original Kipling country of which Rudyard wrote so vividly in his Jungle Book. Packed breakfast from the Lodge is served at a designated spot and spread on the bonnet of the Safari vehicle. Enjoy your breakfast in the wilderness of Kanha.

After witnessing Kanha, you would be extremely elated that the forest was included in this itinerary. The sheer beauty of this park along with the rich bio-diversity make this a must-visit in your India program. Kanha features approximately 70 tree species and is a bird watcher’s paradise, with over 300 recorded bird species.

Continue your search for the elusive Tiger if you have not yet seen the same, and soak in the fresh energizing environment. Return from Safari around 1130hrs. Freshen up, while Lunch is prepared.

Post Lunch, depart for the afternoon jeep tiger safari in Kanha National Park. Return at 6 pm from safari. Dinner and overnight at the Lodge.

Accommodation: Taj Banjaar Tola or Similar

DAY 11: Kanha - Pench (210 kms /4-5 hrs drive)

Morning game drive in the national park. After an early lunch, depart for Pench national park (210 kms/5 hrs). On arrival, check into Taj Baghvan. This charming lodge is located on the edge of Pench National Park, which is dominated by hills, forests, and valleys. The lodge comprises twelve standalone suites with beautiful rooftop terraces or ‘machans’. Set deep in the wilderness grounds and perfect for sleepouts under starry Indian skies, Baghvan will enchant and enthrall.

Baghvan is aptly named after one of India’s iconic symbols, the Bengal tiger
(bagh – tiger and van – forest). Pronounced ‘baagh-vun’, this enchanting lodge is located on the edge of Pench National Park, a dry deciduous forest of predominantly teak trees and meandering jungle streams. A mere ten-minute drive to the park’s entrance takes our guests deep into the heart of the Indian jungle.

Baghvan has 12 standalone suites alongside a picturesque nullah (dry riverbed), surrounded by the shaded canopies of beautiful forest trees. Each spacious suite has a distinctive contemporary bungalow feel and an ambiance resembling the 1950s. Follow the stairs to the alluringly beautiful machan (a covered jungle rooftop platform) complete with mosquito net, overhead fan, and hookah pipes and discover an ideal place to enjoy the romance of the jungle either by day or by night with an unforgettable sleepout.

Breakfasts and lunches are served on a sweeping shaded deck surrounding the beautiful swimming pool and overlooking the nullah, a favored route of the Pench tigers. Sunset is celebrated with cocktails under a huge Banyan tree whilst watching an Indian flying squirrel perform breathtaking aerobatics.

Accommodation: Taj Baghvan or Similar

DAY 12: In Pench

Breakfast and lunch at the hotel. Morning and afternoon Jeep safari to the National park.

Pench welcomes you with open arms and without conditions. This park is located between four different Mountain Ranges – Aravali, Vindhyanchal, Satpura, and Maikal. The tracks are smoother, the trees are thicker with dense undergrowth, perhaps one reason why the herbivore population here is larger in size compared to Kanha and Bandhavgarh.

The skies are home to birds of prey and their distinctive calls. And then there are pauses of silence in the jungle. Don’t get consumed in this silence with your mind talking to yourself – an opportunity your mind doesn’t get often in your cities. Focus on the ground or jungle games so that you and your camera have not left anything to the imagination. Try to see with Kipling’s eye and you might see Baloo and Mowgli singing “Song of Bare Necessities”. And King Khan is there behind the tall grass to spoil their party. You will experience this and much more with the backdrop of luxurious accommodation, friendly service, and delectable cuisine in adventurous settings.

This national park received international recognition from Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale, The Jungle Book.

Accommodation: Taj Baghvan or Similar

DAY 13: Pench - Tadoba (drive 100kms/02 hours drive)

Morning jeep tiger safari to Pench national park. After lunch drive to Tadoba National Park 220 km / 5-hour drive. On arrival check into the Lodge. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge in Tadoba.

DAY 14 – 15: Tadoba National Park

Breakfast and lunch at the Lodge. Morning and afternoon Jeep safaris to the National park.

Tadoba Tiger Reserve is a rare jungle jewel amongst India’s leading tiger reserves and national parks. It is affably called the Land of the Tigers, due to its high tiger density. Recent estimates indicate around 64 tigers over a rich jungle spread over 625 square kilometers. Visitors report frequent Tiger and wild dog sightings. In general, the park offers plenty of opportunities for close encounters of the wildlife kind which also include: Leopard, Sloth Bear, Gaur (Indian Bison), Rusty Spotted Cat, Ratel, Indian Mouse Deer, Spotted Deer, Sambar, Wild Pig, Four Horned Antelope, Flying Squirrel, and more. Over 195 species of birds include the crested serpent eagle, honey buzzard, paradise flycatcher, grey-headed fishing eagle, the shy jungle fowl, and much more.

 Verified So you want to do a tiger safari? Go Nature Safari! From the very first email inquiry we were impressed with Nature Safari. Sharad Vats, the founder, responded to every query and concern and helped us to come up with an itinerary spanning city visits as well as safaris in national parks. Whenever he was unavailable, other staff assisted so we never felt on our own while, from New Zealand, we worked out all the details.Before we arrived in Delhi we were impressed to receive contact details plus a photo from Pratim who had been appointed to greet us. For two older women travelling on their own it was reassuring to receive this information rather than fly in and start searching for some unknown person carrying a piece of paper with our names on it. Every step of our journey reflected this level of care and detail, making our experience less stressful than expected.The accommodations booked on our behalf were very comfortable and the drivers and guides provided excellent service overall. Never did we feel concerned for our safety despite the traffic chaos often surrounding us! Our days spent exploring Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Varanasi felt too busy at times, a result of our being overly ambitious given our age and ailments, but we were always able to work with the company to limit our schedule when necessary. And, when I specifically wanted to add in a visit to Sheroes, the world’s first café operated by women victimised by acid attacks, this request was willingly facilitated by both the driver and guide.Our visits to Pench Tiger Reserve and Kanha National Park were amazing. The forest landscapes in each were stunning and the wildlife diverse and varied. We saw tigers in both venues, sleeping, swimming and stalking through the beautiful forests. One large male tiger looked weird with a striped front and grey/black rear. He looked like a composite from a children’s book where different halves of different animals can be joined to make fantastical creatures. Then I realised this was no strange beast – just a tiger with a rear covered in mud from the river!We unreservedly recommend Nature Safari and would be keen to find a way to enlist their services again for more great tiger safaris.

 Verified Indian tiger safari excellence In March 2025, my wife and I enjoyed a fantastic private trip to India arranged by Ishana Vats of Nature Safari India. I highly recommend NSI and Ishana. I have an interest in photographing wildlife in its natural environment - and Ishana tailored our trip around this. We spent 6 days in both Kanha and Banghavgarh reserves - I recommend spending longer in fewer reserves than 2 night stands as it reduces the travelling time, and we got to know the staff and reserves much better. We also did the tourist stops of Agra (spend a little extra and stay at the Oberoi), Varanasi and Jaipur and a half day tour of Delhi. I recommend Nature Safari India as being a safe and knowledgeable tour operator.

 Verified They Made Everything Easy! The best company I've dealt with when organising a tour. Ishana was patient and understanding as we worked through our holiday itinerary. I was taking my 84 year old father to see the beautiful Bengal tigers, but I also wanted to fit it some landmarks like the Taj Mahal. Throughout the whole experience Ishana ensured everything was flawless. Even our internal flights had us dropped right at the exact entrance. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff we dealt with. It was wonderful.

 Verified Can't praise this company enough! From our very first enquiry Ishana was responsive, informative and helpful. She patiently worked with us to tweak one of their itineraries to create the trip of our dreams. Her attention to detail and concern to understand our desires could not be faulted. And it was affordable! Costing no more than an off the peg itinerary with a European company where we'd have been in a group. The trip itself lived up to all our hopes and we had the most amazing week seeing tigers, leopards and birds in abundance and a week visiting the cultural hot spots of India. All our guides we're experts in their area and our drivers were professional. If you are reading this to check the company is as good as it sounds then I can assure you it is! Book your trip with them, you will not regret it.

 Verified Wonderful Nature Safari Nature safari is by far the best travel/tour company I have ever dealt with. The booking and communication before the trip was excellent. All my questions & queries were answers within a day and in so much detail. Ishana was very friendly and helpful - it felt like I was meeting an old friend when we met by chance in the jungle! The whole trip from the moment we stepped foot in India was so wonderful. Everyone we met was so helpful, friendly, informative and could not do enough for us. All guides, drivers and naturalists who worked for or with Nature Safari were amazing. I have to give a particular mention about Kanha and our naturalist Kopal - words cannot express how wonderful and special the time we spent there was. It is something that my friends and I will remember forever.

 Verified Something very different for me! I would highly suggest using this company, which went out of their way to ensure that a good time was had by all in our group of 14. All details were anticipated, and anything that was a bit of a burb in the road was attended to consciously. I did not think I would like the safari part of our extended trip to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and more because I was nervous about becoming lunch for a tiger! Our Nature guides were knowledgeable and friendly, filling in details about the animals and the ecosystem during our stay on the reserve. The hotel was gorgeous and was a lovely mental rest from the pace of the cities where we had been. The bulk of our 2.5 week trip was a cultural/textile outing. All the tiresome logistics were handled with great care. I've been on many tours, and I'd rank this one as among the very best.

 Verified An Unforgettable Experience, the best trip we’ve ever had! An unforgettable Experience! Our Guide Ajeet not only went over & above to ensure we had the best Tiger sightings but his wealth of Knowledge on all of the Wildlife was incredible, as well as his friendly demeanour. Our Tour of Agra was also amazing thanks to our tour guide Khaizer that took us around the best views of the Taj Mahal and took some incredible photos for us. A massive thank you to both of our drivers, Gulab for getting us to & from the airport safely. Pratim & Neeraja for all their help throughout the travel experience, who couldn’t have been friendlier & did everything they could to ensure we had a great trip. Would most definitely recommend, the best trip we’ve ever had!

 Verified Perfection! Nature Safari India deserves high praise for a fantastic adventure to India for me and my husband. I added this review to another trip advisor site, not realizing this is their tripadvisor location. First, we chose India because I wanted to see tigers and I’m always looking for a small boat trip. The original plan was to do a tiger safari and a small boat cruise on the River Ganga. After finding Nature Safari India, the trip morphed into a 3 week cultural, historic and safari adventure. I cannot give enough good praise to Nature Safari India for all the work they did to make this trip special and how incredibly smooth everything went. Absolutely amazed and impressed. We didn’t know what questions to ask before arranging the trip, there were many discussions back and forth to help us with our style of travel. My husband and I have travelled a lot, 35 countries and counting. We are seasoned travelers and yet India took us by surprise. The intensity of the Hindu religion, the effects of so many people on the infrastructure of even small communities, and the influence of the Moghuls over many centuries, we went into this trip highly uneducated. Here’s some of our trip and how Nature Safari India made it special without us realizing how much effort this took until we got there. Our trip went like this: chaos, calm, chaos, calm, chaos. That turns out to be a perfect recipe. We started and ended our trip by staying at a renovated mansion (Haveli Dharampura) in the heart of Old Delhi. Starting and ending our trip in a magical haveli in the middle of chaos! This is India! I understand why they recommend Roseate hotel when we had a late or early flight as the Haveli Dharampura is 1 to 1.5 hours drive from the airport. Roseate is just a typical multistory airport hotel, good for those quick turnarounds. We had one driver for the first 6 days which included some long drives of 4-5 hours to get to Agra and Jaipur. This was nice as we got to know him and we were glad to see the small communities along the way. We liked all of our guides. Some young, some older, all with a genuine interest in teaching and sharing. I wasn’t sure about the Oberoi hotels as we like small boutique places, but the stay at Taj Mahal should be at Oberoi. You could not compete with the direct view of Taj Mahal. And our stay at Oberoi in Jaipur was very special. We participated in a blessing ceremony in a 300 year old temple in the middle of the property. It was very emotional even though I have no idea what they were chanting. Next was calm in Kanha National Park. In 5 days (10 safaris) we had 12 sightings of 6 tigers, 2 sloth bears, one jungle cat, 2 monkey species and so many birds, guar, deer, snakes and other animals. Back to chaos, we head to Varanasi where Nature Safari has recommended Brijrama Palace. Wow. Right on the River Ganga and steps from one of the Aarti. Brijrama recommended we attend Aarti with a young priest. He was so funny and interesting, he could have been a guide if he hadn’t chosen to be a priest. Varanasi is a unique place with a deeply spiritual vibe. I cannot describe it. Nature Safari had another city recommendation as I think Varanasi may be too intense for a lot of people, but we are glad we didn’t miss it. My husband and I both felt the aura and we are not religious people. Our guide for much of Varanasi was an older man named Dharmendra Tiwari, very religious and the perfect person to guide us through our stay in India’s holiest city. I mention him because we talked about his life as a guide. He said that he started his own guide business and was doing well until covid hit and, of course, everything fell apart. He said Nature Safari India continued to help and support him, which made us that much happier that we chose a company that helps their people when they need it. From Varanasi we went on a 3 day cruise on a 40 passenger boat. For some reason, there were only 2 of us as passengers with about 30 crew. The water level is too low in April to actually go anywhere except for a short trip up or down river but staying on the same dock every night. The crew of MV Bengal Ganga were so much fun. They did a Bollywood performance for us and got us to dance with them. We also saw the river porpoise when we went upstream. The rooms are amazing, the boat was great, but the crew is what made that bit of our calm worth it. The only animal products allowed to be eaten on the river are from milk, the vegetarian menu was great, even for hearty meat eaters like us. Finally, we headed back to Delhi for our last two nights at Haveli Dharampura. We had a food tour with a young guy named Juuwal. We had so much fun with him as well as great conversations about life, history, the past and the future. He’s no different than any other 25 year old in the world as he is concerned about his future. Very different discussions than those had with Dharmendra. Don’t miss a food tour in the chaos of Old Delhi. We are seasoned travelers and do not need extra assistance getting in and out of airports, but for those who have not travelled a lot, know that Nature Safari India will be there to help you in and out of the airport, they were spot on with drivers, the when, and the where. Everyone was on time with good communication. We did not have any glitches. My husband I have tried to come up with cons to using this company and there are none. They’ll try to lead you in the right direction for your style of travel and appear to have contacts throughout India. I wish we’d gone into the trip more educated about Hinduism, would like to have had a better understanding of tipping as we didn’t know if the recommendations were per person or for us as a couple and what to tip at hotels, you will go to a place every day where they will show you how they make something (carpets, weavings, marble, brass, jewelry) and you’ll get a sales pitch. This didn’t bother us as we liked buying some quality items direct from the source, but I can see that some people would be overwhelmed by the daily “shopping”, also we should have been aware that we should carry some small bills for use of public restrooms (note: every public restroom we went into had at least one western toilet. Bring your own toilet paper!), and you need a whatsapp account for communication. Nature Safari India did a great job with our trip. I appreciate how much work this must have taken to make it run smoothly.

 Verified What an incredible experience 😍😍😍 Where do I start, we were recommended this company from a couple we met whilst travelling in Uganda and I completely understand why they spoke so highly of them. Ishana was great and advised us where to visit for the best tiger and leopard sightings for a shorter trip. This company advise at least 6 safaris, because you have more chance of seeing everything you want. We were so lucky and saw tigers or leopards... or both on every single safari 😍.The price was very, very reasonable for what was included as well.The transfer was on time, had great air con(which is needed in April 🤣) and snacks and drinks were also provided.Our accommodation at Pench Jungle Camp was lovely, the room was huge, it had everything you needed and the staff were amazing. The food was also plentiful and very tasty.Do not hesitate to contact this company, and don't panic if communication is sometimes slightly delayed, there is a reason and that's because they're so busy creating the perfect trip for all of their customers.

"Amazingly well-organized trip with many outstanding sights"

Since we live in Germany, we haven’t had any experience with an Indian travel provider before. However, the professional and polite communication. When we arrived at the airport or were changing locations the shuttle was always ready in time, so we could fully rely on the organization. Our naturalist guides were very knowledgeable and showed us a wide variety of bird species, tigers, and many other mammals. All in all, Nature Safari India did a great job to make our stay in India a great experience, from the moment we arrived at the airport until we returned there to catch our flight home. We can definitely recommend them without any hesitation and will travel with them again when we come to India next time.

"Superb safari experience with the best tour operator imaginable"

We had a truly fantastic experience on our trip which was neatly organized into the smallest detail. We had great stays in lovely lodges in Tadoba, Pench, Kanha and Sundarbans during our 2-wk tour. From the drivers hired for transports between the destinations, over the naturalist accompanying our safaris to the staff during accommodation- everything was perfect and we're so happy that we went with Nature Safari as they provided a world-class holiday and top-notch customer care. Sharad, Deepkul and Abhishek were speedy in their replies, very helpful and checked in several times about how it's going. We can highly recommend booking with them, worth every penny!

"Beyond Expectations! An amazing wildlife experience!!"

My time in India was made perfect thanks to Tiger Safari India, every step of my journey was made smoothly and comfortably. The accommodation was of very high standard and the service from every staff member was exceptional. Food was freshly made and by very talented chefs. I came to India to see Tigers and it did not disappoint. In 10 days I saw 11 Tigers! I was very successful thanks to the fantastic guides and drivers, who had excellent skills to locate all sorts of wildlife and could predict a good spot to see the tigers. The parks were stunningly beautiful, filled with mist and large areas of forest and meadows. I already miss watching the sun rising through that scenery. This trip was an...

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.

"Incredible Madhya Pradesh experience"

Deepkul and the Tiger Safari India team put together an incredible experience for us in Kanha and Bandhavgarh. All the details were taken care of as per our preferences and budget including transportation, food, lodging, and our amazing safari guides. Deepkul was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond to any questions before and during our trip. Highly recommend!

"Super safari experience"

We did 5 days of safaris with Sharad Vats's team, in Kanha and Pench, in April. 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...
