When to book Book 140 Days in advance. It is a very important step that a guest can take for the success of its own trip.

Day 02: Kanha national park safaris

In this day, we will formally begins jungle safaris. Do morning & evening jeep safaris, on this day of tour package. Here jeeps safaris are operated in 2 slots i.e. morning round of approx. 5:30 hr and afternoon or evening safari of approx. 3:00 hr duration. Which means in this day we will spend approx. 08:00 hrs in exploring Kanha tiger reserve forest. During both the safari rounds, we have to carry our original ID documents (for foreigners, only active Passport is treated as ID document), for verification purpose and immeditely returned to guests. Here our resort will provide you water bottles and pack breakfast for morning safari round. For pack breakfast, we have to specify the resort front office team about our meal preference. Due to long morning safari duration, pack breakfast is worth to carry and consume. Due to mobile phone prohibition, during safari activity all visitors are advised to carry your own camera, for photography purpose. Forest of Kanha national park is spread over Satpura range and is full of amazing wildlife species like tigers, leopard, sloth bear, hard-ground Barasingha, Indian guar to various bird species. Here hard-ground Barasingha will be special attraction because this species is not found in Pench tiger reserve. Some of the easily seen birds are racket-tailed drongo, black drongo, crested serpent eagle, grey hornbill, black ibis, purple sunbird, jungle owlet, grey nightjar, Indian roller etc.
Overnight at Kanha national park.

Day 03: Kanha national park safaris

Here we will do morning and evening safaris. Take your morning tea, pack breakfast, Id document, camera and board your safari vehicle. Early morning phase of jungle safari drive is purely dedicated for tiger tracking thus during morning rush, guides overlook other animals and devote their attention towards tiger tracking. Their are many ways to track the tiger location like update of last sighting location, discussion with passing by safari guides, pugmark tracking, alarm calls and their sixth sense. It is possible that in rush for tigers, we may have to compromise some other photography moments. Here our preference matters. If we are not tiger centric then don't miss any chance and keep on doing photography. Just remember that forest can give us surprise at any moment, without any hint thus always remain alert and active with camera. Such incidents happens with mostly leopard sighting, flying squirrel sighting etc. In middle phase of safari, we can try all type of photography like birds photography, insects photography, reptiles photography etc. Although guide is expert still during safari we also required to remain vigilant as it is possible that something may get missed by guide and driver and we will spot it. At any point of photography, we must need to immediately inform driver to stop the vehicle, for photography.
