After breakfast, drive to Panna national park. Here we will drive through popular Bundelkhand expressway thus this will be a continous drive with a tea break. While driving through this route, we will get interesting views of Bundelkhand region, local lifestyle of people, village housing pattern. More or less this will be seen as dry and rocky region with tough life and struggle for survival but ancient building art will be more prevalent in the form of old palaces, forts, temples etc. On reaching our resort at Panna national park, we will settle down at our room, do freshen up and do the necessary preparations for afternoon jungle safari drive. For safari preparations, we need to recheck our safari permit details, safari timing, arrange your ID document, carry it during every safari drive, for verification purpose. Check the status of camera battery, memory cards, charge your mobile phone etc. This we will do before lunch because we will get less time after taking lunch. Try to avoid heavy lunch as we have to rush for afternoon safari drive. Heavy meal often results into drowsiness during jeep safari drive. During safaris, always remain alert and ready with your camera as many times action happens suddenly and for few seconds thus golden rule is to always remain in ready to click status.

Day 03: Panna National Park

Do morning and evening jeep safari drives at Panna national park. Here jeep safari will be the main activity to explore the wildlife of this plateau based forest area.

Here we will have best chances to see tigers, sloth bears, leopards, vultures and differenct cat species.
