"Tiger, rhino and bird safari"

From the planning stage to the trip itself, the organisation was great, correspondence was prompt, transport in India was reliable, hotels were good, some of the food exceptional, and the tiger, rhino and bird safari outstanding. No problems with eating the food and drinking the water. One day I am planning to do another trip with Nature Safari India.

"Fantastic Safari from start to finish. "

Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful tiger safari for us.  Everything went perfectly and we are so impressed with the way everything was planned and put together. The vehicles were clean and spacious.
 
All of your representatives were so helpful and professional.  Protim picked us up from our hotel and transferred us to Delhi Airport. He came into the airport and helped us with the process and of course was waiting when we returned eager to hear all our safari stories. What a delight!

The accommodation at Kings Lodge was fantastic and all of the staff, without exception, were great. The accommodation was clean and upmarket-a beautiful place to retreat to each night. Every evening our dinner was presented outdoors under the stars and the food was exceptional. A selection of different Indian dishes which we were eager to try. There was also options for international cuisines. The chef came and spoke to us at every meal and made note of what we wanted for the next day. There was a local artist at the Lodge who had been painting animals, mainly tigers, since he was 14yo.  He was painting every day we were there, and we purchased one of his paintings. Very talented.

On the day we arrived we were lucky enough to go on the evening safari where we saw our first tiger and a herd of wild elephants.

 A special mention must go to Ravi, our guide on our Bandhavgarh Safari.  He was helpful and courteous, looked after us getting in and out of the vehicle, nothing was too much trouble and all with a smile.  He is very knowledgeable and answered our many many questions. When on safari he got us close to the tigers and other wildlife, he was always respectful of the wildlife.  We saw 5 tigers, along with numerous other animal sightings. Ravi consistently picked up on wildlife clues that led us to tiger spotting before anyone else. He was just better! His experience and expertise was very apparent. We cannot say enough about Ravi. 
 
Thank you once again for organising this exceptional experience and we will definitely use your services on our next trip. We have fallen in love with your country!

"Tigers in India"

Went for tigers and saw them almost daily! Staff at 3 reserves friendly knowledgeable and made me feel they really wanted me to have a good experience

"Wonderful trip to India and Nepal With NAture Safari India"

Deepkul from Nature Safari India arranged our 21 day Trip to India and Nepal, our focus was on Birding, Rhino and Red Panda, before the trip all communication was good and we were happy with the itinerary. Deepkul was very helpful.

All the arrangements from start to finish were well taken care of and everything flowed seamlessly, all transfers, flights, accommodations, park visits etc, the only thing we had to concern ourselves with was being "on time" for the scheduled activity.

During our trip in India we visited Nameri National Park for birding, Kaziranga NP for Rhino and birding, Maguri Beel for birding, Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary for the Gibbons and Birding, the bird guides and the guiding in general was excellent and we had great wildlife sightings as well as 260 bird species seen, even though its not the "best time of year" for Birding.

After India we travelled to Nepal for the Red Panda, all of these arrangements flowed seamlessly as well, we got to see 9 Red Panda during our stay in Nepal, definitely the highlight of our trip.

Thank you Nature Safari India and Deepkul for all the arrangements, we hope to return one day.

"Tigers, Taj and Temples"

During February 2024 we did the Tigers, Taj and Temples trip as a couple and everything was perfect from start to finish.

From the moment we arrived in New Delhi we were in their competent hands.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime for us and I cannot recommend Nature Safari strongly enough. India is not an easy country to negotiate but they made it seem effortless. Thank you.

"Birdwatching tour."

We have just returned from a fantastic 3 week/ 7 locations birdwatching tour in Southern India organised so well by Deepkul. The birding guides were remarkably experienced knowing all birds, their calls and habitats, keen to show us the endemics differing substantially in the various areas. The accomodation was ideal for us, mostly the quiet, calm, homely and clean places we were looking for rather than flash! Our driver Shaher could not have been more helpful. Thoroughly recommended.

"Nature Safari India birding trip of North India"

We would like to thank Deepkul and his team for organising our very successful birding trip to north India. It could not fault the planning of the trip, we had great guides excellent accommodation and transport and driver who made the travel experience feel safe. In 10 days we achieve all our target species and fantastic views of tiger.

"The staff from Nature Safari India were…extremely helpful and very friendly and did an excellent job of supporting us on our trip "

The staff from Nature Safari India were most helpful and organised the trip well to our advantage right from the time they picked us up from the airport.
The accommodation selected for us was excellent overall and we have little to complain about. The food was great but we would have liked more goat meat particularly in Assam where it was also disappointing that they couldn’t produce their world class Assam tea at breakfast. However these are minor things. We can say with certainty that none of us got sick or suffered from upset stomachs.
The wildlife safari experience was first class for seeing the target species we set out to observe, tigers and rhinos, we were lucky to even set eyes on the ‘golden tiger’ a mutation in colour which we saw in Kaziranga. An interesting note is that the guides in Assam were very much more knowledgeable than elsewhere. We suggested that the wildlife department offer better training and accreditation for safari guides. The bird safari guides were very knowledgeable about the birds species in their area. We were able to observe well over a hundred new bird species on the trip which is impressive.
We thank the tour company Nature Safari India for their efforts to make our trip a success with comfortable cars and accommodations and very friendly staff to support us during our visit. We are happy to recommend the company to anyone interested in doing a wildlife safari in India.
Note: Both traveling companions on this trip are professional biologists and ecologists respectively.

"Unforgettable experience!"

Wow where do we begin… the most incredible and unforgettable 2 week safari experience with Nature Safari India!
From our very first correspondence on email we were met with the highest level of customer service and help with putting our trip together. Sharad and Abhishek went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everything was organised perfectly down to the finest detail.
And that’s what stood out about this experience, the details. Everything was so well thought out and executed seamlessly for what we wanted to get out of the trip.

We started with a day tour in Delhi then covered 4 national parks in Central India; Pench, Khana, Banhavgah and Panna.
These parks took our breath away. We were lucky enough to have some close up 1 on 1 wildlife encounters that far exceeded any of our expectations. We had 14 individual tiger interactions, saw 3 leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, an abundance of birdlife and so much more.
The naturalists were absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and informative about not only the wildlife but the conservation efforts and community engagement for the parks we were visiting. They would try and stay away from the crowds of vehicles and instead would make sure we had the most intimate wildlife encounters we could. We had a few days at each park so it was beautiful to really get to know our guides more personally and build those relationships.

A special shoutout to Sunjay Gupta who was our naturalist at Banhavgah. He invited us to his home for the Diwali Festival to meet his family and understand how they celebrate this holy festival. Such a beautiful memory for us.

Every accomodation we stayed at was absolutely gorgeous and so unique!! All centred around ecotourism and minimal environment impact which we loved. Each place was special in its own way and the staff all went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of.

The food throughout the whole trip was out of this world. We have not eaten that well in our lives!! The highest quality fresh authentic Indian cuisine. We were in heaven.

In summary we simply could not say a bad word about our trip to India. It holds a very special place in our hearts and we thank everyone at Nature Safari India for making our time there so incredible.
We will most definitely be back!

"Tigers, Temples and Wildlife…"

Overall a fantastic holiday experience of a lifetime with unforgettable memories.
Complete trip package. Excellent guides, accommodation, Safaris and specific knowledge related to India’s history, culture and wildlife.
Your company goes the extra mile to assist customers in the event of mishaps or exclusions for example of when leaving my mobile in the driver’s car or when another member of my group did not have an Indian adaptor plug.
The only improvement that I suggest would be to provide individuals with details of the day ahead’s itinerary for them to plan accordingly.
