Tiger Safari in Kanha

About Tiger Safari in Kanha Tour
Dunbar Brander, a doyen amongst the Indian hunter naturalists of the last century wrote; “The tract contained as much game as any tract I ever saw in the best part of Africa in 1908. I have seen 1500 heads consisting of 11 species in an evening stroll”. The numbers have unfortunately fallen, but the magic of Kanha defies all laws and statistics.
Kanha also witnessed India’s first successful conservation story of The Hard Ground Swamp Deer (Barasingha) from just 55 in 1965 to over 800 now. Not only this, but Kanha also made a major contribution towards increasing the Gaur population in Bandhavgarh. It donated about 50 Gaur to Bandhavgarh National Park where they left their habitat almost a decade back. Today, the Gaur population in Bandhavgarh is thriving because of Kanha. Subsequently, Tigers have been sent to Panna and lately to Satkosia Tiger Reserve in Orissa, to repopulate the Tiger population in the reserve. It therefore sets a great example in terms of excellent tourism management and conservation efforts when compared to the rest of the parks in India.
