LADIES ONLY WILDLIFE SAFARI TO CENTRAL INDIA
2ND FEBRUARY 2019
Kanha Tiger Reserve, Pench Tiger Reserve & Satpura Tiger Reserve
JUST 4 – 6 LADIES TRAVELLING WITH YOUR OWN ROOM!
An Introduction India is not a country but a continent and travelling through it is an experience like none other. Overwhelming in its chaos at first, it gradually unfolds unique delights. You may find it in its majestic forts, monuments and temples; in exquisite crafts; in traditional and contemporary arts; in the bustle of its colourful bazaars; landscapes and nature reserves; in diverse cuisines; or in the unexpected beauty that filters through the chaos. This program has been especially curated largely to showcase India’s vast biodiversity along with some cultural & historical elements. Your journey takes you to wildlife parks of Central India. The region offers an opportunity to view 4 of India’s 15 wildcats, 4 species of Canidae and about 350 species of birds. Parks selected offers one a mix of safari options ranging from jeep safaris to walking safaris, canoe safaris, camping in the jungle along with night drives. Although the tour is not focused on culture and heritage we would like to offer you a glimpse of these facets of India. Our experiences here will include interactive experiences in the villages surrounding the parks, interested rock art that dates back 30,000 years along with some UNESCO world heritage sites.

Canoe safaris are also excellent for those who enjoy photography as it gives one a very low perspective of mammals coming down to the river to drink.
