Tigers & sloth bears: unusual wildlife experiences in central India

Enjoy your first morning and afternoon game drives in Tadoba National Park. With the skills of your naturalist, you have a good chance of seeing one of the park's sloth bears.

Today, take another morning and afternoon game drive. Hopefully, if you were lucky enough to spot a sloth bear, you might spot an Indian civet or even an elusive tiger.

After enjoying breakfast at Tadoba, you'll transfer to Pench National Park and check in to your lodge. Relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings at your lodge. Enjoy dinner at the camp before heading out on a night safari.

Today you'll enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in search of the elusive tiger. There are also leopards and jungle cats in the area, but these are rare.

From Pench, you'll travel northwest to arrive at a lesser-known Bori Wildlife Sanctuary. On arrival, you'll be welcomed at the lodge. This afternoon, you'll go on a safari to explore one of central India's most exciting wildlife landscapes.

Today, take another morning and afternoon safari. Your jeep allows you to cover plenty of ground in the jungle to give you a variety of wildlife spotting opportunities, further enhanced by your trained naturalist.

The journey from Bori to Satpura becomes even more enjoyable by using a boat transfer as you can spot several bird species and see crocodiles along the Denwa River. On arrival, check in to your lodge. Explore the Satpura National Park on an afternoon safari. It's a great place to see the sloth bear and a good number of sightings have been recorded in recent years. The scenery is beautiful, with the densely forested hills reflecting on the Tawa Reservoir.

Being virtually free of visitors, you have the privilege of exploring the Satpura National Park in a way unknown in any other tiger reserve. Enjoy morning and afternoon safaris at Satpura, which supports an array of mammals that include the tiger, leopard, sambar, chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, chinkara, bison, wild boar and wild dog among others.

Early this morning, enjoy exploring the park on foot. Satpura is the only national park where you can take walking safaris. Later in the morning, you'll be transferred from your hotel to the airport in Bhopal. Here you'll board your domestic flight to Delhi. On arrival, you'll check in to your hotel, which is near the airport, ready for your international flight home.
