About Tiger, Leopard & Sloth Bear Safari Tour
Satpura Tiger Reserve is an old jungle scape in Madhya Pradesh with a rich history. Named after the Satpura Hill Range, it has a mass variety of habitat including Teak and Sal Forest – ranging from Thorny Scrub, to Dry and Moist Deciduous to Semi-Evergreen. Taking a tiger safari in Satpura gives you access to a wide range of fauna across various landscapes.
The second hotspot you will be touring on your tiger safari in India is Pench National Park. This is where the Jungle Book comes to life. In the district of Seoni [erstwhile Seonee, where Mowgli was born], not more than 2.5 hours away from Nagpur City, lies this very important reserve.
Forming corridors for movement of tigers between Kanha National Park, Nagzira as well as Bor Wildlife Sanctuary – Pench is now slowly regaining its position as one of the top tiger reserves for a tiger safari in India.
The third and final leg of your tiger safari in India will be in Kanha National Park. This park is nestled in the Maikal range of Satpuras in Madhya Pradesh and spread across the districts of Mandala and Kalaghat. The park sets a great example in terms of excellent tourism management and conservation efforts when compared to the other wildlife reserves in India.
