4. Sustainable and conservationist approach
KANHA BHOORSINGH SCHOOL: An Education Initiative by Kanha National Park
Our forest guards risk their lives every day to ensure the safety of our jungle. Their children need a strong foundation to build a better future. The forest department of Kanha National Park took up the initiative to build a school for these children and for locals in the Mukki district of Kanha National Park, paving a revolutionary path for education in rural India. Our aim has been to raise awareness about the school and its effort to surface a niche for these children, while urging funds from sources who are willing to contribute for a child’s future. Situated at the heart of Mukki zone in Kanha National Park, Kanha Bhoorsingh School is named after the renowned mascot of the national park which is a Barasingha (Swamp Deer)”. Attracting children from 10 neighboring villages, the school is known for bringing children from the Baiga tribe to study alongside children of the forest officials, with a city school education standard.

- The transporters and hotels whom we deal with have intensified health and hygiene protocols in ways that do not make the journey more difficult in the aftermath of the pandemic.
- The safari vehicle is completely sanitized before and after the safari. Should you wish to see the sanitization of your safari vehicle that will be done promptly.
