For any adventure traveler who loves nature and wildlife, a safari in India is a bucket list experience, offering the opportunity to see diverse and unique species of plants, birds, insects, and animals while also experiencing India’s vibrant culture and diverse landscapes. We designed this 15-day safari for wildlife enthusiasts looking to explore the very best wildlife in India. Along the way, you’ll encounter native species of deer like the chital and the rare Barasingha, bovids like the four-horned antelope and Indian gaur (bison), and the predators that stalk them through dense forests and rugged landscapes: dhole (Asiatic wild dogs), Indian leopards, and Bengal tigers. Seeing a majestic tiger in its natural habitat and hearing its roar echo through the wilderness is the crown jewel of any Indian safari experience, and your expert naturalist guides will help you learn to identify tiger scat, pugmarks, and territorial markings as you track these formidable beasts through their native habitat.

In addition to magnificent wildlife, Indian safaris offer rich cultural and educational experiences. You will stay at some of India’s top eco-camps and lodges, dine upon delectable meals, and enjoy a wide range of in-camp activities, from guided nature and bird-watching walks to cooking lessons to visiting nearby villages. Your journey will be enriched by learning about the dedicated conservation efforts that have made your experiences possible, from the successful reintroduction of barasingha in Kanha to the creation and management of tiger reserves. Central India’s parks and reserves are a land of wild enchantment, and any traveler lucky enough to visit will forge a deeper connetion with the wild while creating memories to last a lifetime.
