Is this trip right for you?
verified
In general, the best time to spot wildlife is at dawn and dusk. There will be many early starts on this tour to capitalize on optimum safari times or to avoid morning traffic on travel days.
verified
In the winter months of November, December, and January, early mornings and late evenings tend to be cold, while the rest of the months offer hot and sunny conditions during safaris. Remember to stay hydrated, use sufficient skin protection, and pack accordingly to ensure a comfortable experience.

While this trip doesn't include strenuous physical activity, the jeeps used in national parks are simple, typically with a high step to get in and out of them, and the roads can be quite bumpy.

Had an absolutely fantastic on the Tiger Safari, we were so lucky to see lots of Tigers and Leopards right from the first safari! Our guide Avdhesh was absolutely fantastic and his knowledge about all the wildlife was incredible, even on days driving between parks he would point out different birds and answer all the questions we had. Could have spent twice as long at each of the parks as I enjoyed them all so much. Already recommended the Tiger Safari to all of my friends and family!

For wildlife lovers this was a great trip. However if you really want a good tiger sighting October is too early in the year. The guides say that February /March is much better as foliage is less thick and by this stage they have better knowledge of the habits of different tigers in the parks. I notice that this trip has been revamped next year and is running as Original. However I notice that only one day is programmed for Bandhavgarh which is a pity for avid wildlife watchers as it is a great park. We had 2 days which means more opportunities for spotting a tiger.
