When to book | Book 120 Days in advance. It is a very important step that a guest can take for the success of its own trip. Advance booking is highly recommended when you have any wildlife safari destination in your tour plan. Similarly, in city areas, due to marriage or corporate conferences, many times popular hotels get sold out in advance due to which tour quality get compromised. Thus we repeatedly highlight this point. |
On arrival at Nagpur airport/railway station, drive to Tadoba national park (150kms). Here road condition is almost good. Tadoba national park is having 3 entrance gate where proper accommodation facilities are available and thus tourists selects in between them. So according to location of our lodge we will reach Tadoba national park. On reaching our resort, just relax in the room and do the necessary preparations for next day safari. Here we can better utilize this day if we are reaching before by noon. In such case, we can add a evening safari drive, just after taking lunch meal.
