Exciting Wildlife Safari Tour in India

Ten days built around three of Madhya Pradesh's best-known tiger reserves, with Delhi and Mumbai bookending the trip. This is one for people who want serious time in the jungle rather than a single token safari.

You get two safaris, morning and afternoon, at each of Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench, with a naturalist guide helping you track tigers and read the wider bird and animal life. Kanha and Pench are the landscapes that inspired Kipling's Jungle Book, which adds a nice layer if you know the story.

The city time is shorter but not an afterthought — a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk in Delhi, its historic and modern landmarks, and a look at Mumbai's colonial-era architecture before you head home.
