TOUR ITINERARY

DAY 1: Arrive in Kanha

On arrival at our lodge in Kanha (we will help you with arranging your travel from Nagpur/Jabalpur to Kanha, at extra cost at actuals), tour instructor, Phillip Ross will greet you and welcome you to our beautiful resort. After a quick introduction and settle in, we will meet for a photography session and ensure we’re all geared up for all the photography ahead of us.

We end the night with a delicious dinner before hitting the sack for the night with exciting dreams of what lies ahead for the next few days.

DAYS 2 & 3 : Explore Kanha over 4 safaris 

Over the next two days, we awake early to the sweet calls of the birds found within the resort and after a hot cup of coffee or tea, we prepare to depart on each of our long morning safaris in Kanha.

We enter the forest with a hope to sight it’s amazing big male tigers, but also the endangered barasingha in soft and dramatic winter light apart from all the other amazing wildlife that Kanha has on offer. Tigers are at their most active during the early hours of dawn and late hours of dusk.

Phillip will constantly strategise along with the drivers and guides, to maximise opportunities and make the most of each safari.

We return to our lodge for some rest and a lovely lunch, before we head back into this gorgeous park for the evening safari.

Afternoons are great for bird-watching, and while we wait for tigers to start moving, we have a great time photographing some of the winged attractions of Kanha. As it starts getting cooler, it’s tiger time again and we’re off tracking and if luck prevails, we are sure to have the most amazing sighting of a Kanha Tiger!

On our return at dusk, we’ll meet for a photography session where Phillip will clear doubts, have review sessions and introduce new topics, before ending each night with a celebratory dinner.

DAY 4: Final safari and checkout

On the final morning, we head back into the park for a final safari and hope the trip ends with an absolute bang! Post the safari, we gather for a final rendezvous over breakfast and check out soon after, before driving back to Jabalpur/Nagpur airport, where we are sure you won’t be able to wait to tell your friends and family some fascinating tales once you reach home.
