Bandhavgarh National Park Tours and Trips

This was an excellent trip into rural India and the magnificent wildlife parks. Veeru was an enthusiastic and entertaining leader who was able to sort out any issues without fuss. On safari you are split into different jeeps, 3 or 4 to a jeep and the drivers go separate ways...you may not, therefore, have the same sightings and experiences as everyone else. We were a lucky group, I saw 12 tigers, 2 leopards and a multitude of deer, jackals etc and so many colourful birds..bring a book on Indian birds if that's your thing. Accommodation was good throughout and the food was delicious.

We had a wonderful visit to India partly due to our excellent tour guide Pradeep Jain, enhancing our appreciation of all things Indian, culture, history, flora and fauna and for whom nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation and food throughout was great. We were fortunate enough to have five excellent close up sightings of tigers in Kanha and Panna National Parks, as well as leopards, striped hyena, wild elephant, dholes and gaur and a plethora of birdlife. As commented on in earlier reviews the quality of the Park Guides was very variable, some enthusiastic and knowledgeable, others mediocre at best. Our only slight issue was we were not advised before our trip that the use of mobile phones in the National Parks was prohibited which caused issues for some of our group. The rickshaw ride and walk through the markets of Old Delhi will live long in the memory and should not be missed.

An excellent holiday exploring 4 national reserves, together with a brief view of Indian life in the big city. Perhaps not the ideal for a first time visitor to India, but for me it was an excellent complement to previous visits. Thrilled to see number of tigers at close range.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The accommodation was all excellent - quite varied but all good. Our tour leader, Viru, was excellent. He kept everything running smoothly and dealt with the inevitable issues and challenges with aplomb. We had game drives in four different parks and all were great - we saw a lot of wildlife and managed a total of 21 tiger sightings including the amazing sight of a couple mating in Banhavgarh.

A fabulous holiday. India is such a vibrant and fascinating country. This safari gave us the opportunity to explore the wildlife and beautiful jungles in 5 national parks, as well as some cultural sites. Looking for tigers is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but we saw 3 and it was breathtaking. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took good care of us, and the accommodation was excellent, although the hotel in Delhi was rather tired, but very helpful staff everywhere.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip with both the cultural and wildlife aspects, all enhanced by an excellent tour leader. We felt it was an advantage going to the smaller tiger reserves and we had nine tiger sightings
