Central India Wildlife Tour

Seven days across three of central India's best-known tiger reserves, tracking Bengal tigers by jeep through forest and grassland that shaped some of the country's most famous wildlife stories.

You move between Bandhavgarh, once the hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Rewa, Kanha, the landscape that inspired Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, and Pench, its original setting. Each park has its own character, but the focus throughout is the same: getting out at dawn and dusk for a real chance at spotting tigers, along with the deer, langurs and birdlife that share their territory.

This suits anyone who wants a proper wildlife-watching trip rather than a single safari bolted onto a wider itinerary — three parks, three habitats, and repeated chances to see tigers in the wild.
