Tiger Safari in Kanha
Tiger safari in Kanha is an exclusive experience of sighting Kanha’s teeming wildlife and flourishing natural habitat. Navigate through the core or buffer forests in an open top jeep safari, which offers a getaway to new vistas in exploration and adventure. Ride off at the crack of the dawn, or venture out in the afternoons as the sun beats a retreat into the transiting evening sky.
Our qualified and experienced naturalists accompany you in our open 4×4 jeeps, specially fitted with front-facing, elevated seats to enhance the safari experience. The park opens from sunrise till 11:30 am and then from late afternoon until sunset. The park permits entry only after sunrise, while exits must be done before sunset. Timings do tend to change with the seasons. Places of interest inside the park include Shravan Tal, Dense Meadows and the Interpretation Centre.
The park is also the forest that inspired the popular novel by Rudyard Kipling ‘The Jungle Book’ about a boy who was raised by wolves. It is also famously known as ‘Kipling’s Country’.
You would still find Baloo, the sloth bear nosing around for termites, Bagheera, the leopard hunting silently; and the langurs swinging from tree to tree. The mighty Sher Khan still roams free in these magical forests, that comprise one of the last strongholds of this most magnificent of cats, the Royal Bengal Tiger.
