After breakfast, you will travel by road to Tadoba National Park. This afternoon you will get your first opportunity to go on safari.

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.

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.
