Jungle Safari India Program Overview & Route Map
Jungle Safari India tour covers three spectacular parks of central highlands – Tadoba, Pench & Kanha- and is ideal for a wildlife enthusiast focusing on the Tiger.
While Tadoba is primarily a Teak & Bamboo Forest popular for Tigers & Leopards, Pench National Park is an idyllic land for bird watching, boasting over 210 species of birds, including migratory birds. Apart from a high chance of tiger sightings.
Pench also allows viewing of Leopards & Wild Dogs in addition to Swamp Deer, Indian Gaur, Sloth Bear & an array of other mammals & birds. Kanha National Park’s undulating landscape is dotted with dense groves of vegetation, hillocks, and open meadows. Of all these habitats
Kanha’s meadows are its lifeline, as they sustain large numbers of Chital, Sambar, Barasingha, and Gaur, which in turn support populations of predators and co-predators like Tigers, Leopards, Wild Dogs, Jungle Cats, and Foxes.
