"Amazing 26 Day Wildlife Safari to India"

My wife and I have just returned from a 26 day wildlife safari arranged for us by Nature Safari India. We have used this company in the past (i.e., 2010 to 2015) for six different wildlife tours/safaris to India, three of these being with groups (numbering from 20 to 30 total people) of students and professors from my university. As was the case then, this most recent wildlife adventure to India wads as amazing as the previous ones, all primarily because of the outstanding services overseen and arranged for by Nature Safari India.

Our adventure began by arriving in New Delhi on 19 December. Having two full free days in this city before our wildlife adventure proper began, Nature Safari India arranged for us an impromptu visit to both the Okhla Bird Sanctuary in Uttarpradesh (an hour long drive from the downtown New Delhi) and, the following day, an an excursion to the famous Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple in Delhi. Our guides for both of these were top notch and greatly added to these enjoyable experiences.

Flying to Leh, Ledakh in northern India, we stayed at the Grand Dragon Hotel. With striking views of the Himalayas from the third story room we stayed in, this large marble and wood facility is a very upscale establishment. Our two nights there at about 9,000 feet elevation and were intended to help us become acclimated to the altitude. During the day, our driver took us out in search of wildlife in the nearby countryside. This enables us to see and get some very nice video and photographs of Urial, a high altitude sheep native to this area of India. I can only thank Nature Safari India for having gotten us such a good driver and wildlife guide.

We then headed off to the Snow leopard Lodge in Ulley, Ledakh. Here we saw another species of wild sheep as well as numerous birds. Again, our guides were absolutely first rate as they proved adept at finding us a number of bird species. With snow being in short supply this winter season (2023 - 2024), it proved very difficult to track the snow leopards and, hence, this season yielded few sightings compared to previous years. But this is no fault of Nature Safari India. indeed, my wife and I are eagerly anticipating returning to Ledakh (under the arrangements of Nature Safari India) in two years to try again try (and perhaps finally be successful!) in seeing this great feline predator of the high altitude. We just hope that snow levels in the Himalayas will have then returned to normal.

The remaining 17 days of our Indian wildlife adventure were spent visiting the Bharatapur Bird Santuary in Rajasthan, Manas National Park, Kaziranga National Park, and the Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary in Assam, India. The guides and lodging that Nature Safari India had arranged for us were all first rate. Indeed, we have Nature Safari india to therefore thanking in getting us great viewing/photograph/video opportunities for the followin g species: Hoolock gibbon, greater Asiatic one-horned rhinoceros, Asian Elephant, Asiatic wild buffalo, various deer and antelope species, a great range of bird (including six owl species, one of these being the dusky eagle owl), and Bengal tigers (two of these seen in Kaziranga National Park, a tiger reserve known for being very, very difficult in which to get a tiger sighting).

Thank you, Nature Safari India, for having phoned us along the way to inquire as to how the safari was progressing. We were always happy to report that it was amazing.

"Amazingly well-organized trip with many outstanding sights"

First, we found Nature Safari India through a web search when we got interested in a nature tour in India. We contacted them to get an offer for a birding trip, which we received in a very short time. Since we live in Germany, we haven’t had any experience with an Indian travel provider before. However, the professional and polite communication and the very detailed and transparent offer convinced us. So, we booked a birding and tiger trip to Satpura, Pench and Kanha. It turned out to be the right decision, and we enjoyed a great and amazingly well-organized trip. When we arrived at the airport or were changing locations the shuttle was always ready in time, so we could fully rely on the organization. Even short term modifications that we have requested were organized seamlessly. We had very nice lodges with highly motivated staff and enjoyed great food. Our naturalist guides were very knowledgeable and showed us a wide variety of bird species, tigers, and many other mammals. We also saw several butterflies, other insects, and spiders. All in all, Nature Safari India did a great job to make our stay in India a great experience, from the moment we arrived at the airport until we returned there to catch our flight home. We can definitely recommend them without any hesitation and will travel with them again when we come to India next time.

"Incredible India"

My husband and I just returned from two weeks in India where we visited two National Parks, Kanha and Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and had several spectacular sightings among some other animals on both parks which were recommended by the most professional travel agent Mrs. Ishana Vats.
The trip was arranged by Nature Safari India and since my first contact, I knew I was dealing with a highly professional agency. It was very well designed, not only we visited the national parks, but we also included cultural places like Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan, Jaipur, and Varanasi, what a beautiful vacation, what a learning experience!
We like to express our sincere gratitude to all and every single one of you: guides, drivers, chefs, housekeeping, everybody… some names I won’t be able to remember or might be misspelled, but one more time, a deep thanks to Ishana, Deepkul, Ashuck; Shanu Hussain, our top of the line guide in Agra who is an excellent photographer as well; Kamish; Namreta and Atum for the ability both of you have to position us to have front row seat during the tiger sightings, Dranyavaat; Rahul, Bemol, Neha, Suri, our dear chef Kim and some many more. NATURE SAFARI INDIA what an outstanding team you have!

"Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve Safari"

It was a phenomenal tiger safari experience at Bandhavgarh Reserve. Kudos to the Nature Safari India team, who made the entire trip a beautiful experience. The Bandhavgarh Reserve itself is a fantastic place to visit and watch wildlife. Sanjay Guptha, you are a unique human being; thank you so much for running the extra mile and always picking me up on time from the hotel. My stay at Bagh Tola is a memorable experience—a big thanks to Tony, Yash, and your team. One must experience delicious food at Bagh tola, and the excellent Bagh Tola team made my stay memorable. Deepkul & Deep, you guys made my trip seamless. From day one, Deepkul stayed on top of everything, making my trip to India much easier. Deep, thank you so much for making my transition to various locations seamless. Sanjay Gupta, you are a rock star! hope to see you soon!

"Superb safari experience with the best tour operator imaginable"

We had a truly fantastic experience on our trip which was neatly organized into the smallest detail. We had great stays in lovely lodges in Tadoba, Pench, Kanha and Sundarbans during our 2-wk tour. From the drivers hired for transports between the destinations, over the naturalist accompanying our safaris to the staff during accommodation- everything was perfect and we're so happy that we went with Nature Safari as they provided a world-class holiday and top-notch customer care. Sharad, Deepkul and Abhishek were speedy in their replies, very helpful and checked in several times about how it's going. We can highly recommend booking with them, worth every penny!

"Nature Safari India for Tigers"

From the moment I first contacted Nature Tour Safari India everything about my Safaris in Kanha and Bandhavgarh my experience with the company couldn’t have been bettered. Organisation, meeting arrangements, accommodation and the Safari Guides in each National Park were superb and those Tigers will remain a highlight of my life, it was a pleasure to meet people who really enjoyed their work

"Tigers!!"

I was met at every point by guides. Abhiskek Kumar with Nature Safari was constantly in contact with me to make sure everything was going smoothly, setting up flights and transportation within India. The guide I had in Delhi, Naresh Chadha was extremely knowledgeable.
My guide in Bandhavgarh, Sanjay Gupta, was always on time for safari pickup. He knew the park like the back of his hand and I saw tigers every day.

"Fantastic trip to Pench National Park…"

Fantastic trip to Pench National Park was arranged by Deepkul at Nature Safari India.

We had three tiger sightings as well as wild dogs, many birds and lots of spectacular light.

"Amazing trip!"

We booked our safari earlier this year to do a safari in Ranthambore for 3 nights with Nature Safari India. It was honestly amazing. From pick up to drop off, we were looked after and had everything arranged perfectly. We stayed at the Ranthambore Kothi which was amazing and the people were so friendly and helpful. We had 4 safaris, 2 morning and 2 afternoon and were incredibly lucky to see a tiger on 3 of the 4 safaris. Massive thanks to Deep and Ishana for their help in sorting this trip and to Gopal who drove us to and from Delhi!

"Tigers and more tigers"

I was looking go on a tiger safari and I found Deepkul and Nature's Safari on the internet. Deepkul responded quickly and presented me with several options. I selected the 7day 2 park option. From there, Deepkul took care of every detail, from picking me up at the hotel to returning me to my hotel in New Delhi at the end.
I was meet at the airport in Raipur and taken to the Kanha Jungle Camp. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable. The camp is set in the jungle and the food and staff were excellent.
Each day, I had 2 runs in a jeep with a guide and driver, all of whom were exceptional. In both parks, I saw all types of animals especially I saw tigers in both parks. It was a thrilling experience. The only recommendation I would make is that 5 AM to 11:30 AM is too long for the morning run. I felt that after 10 AM, the heat of the day kept the animals in hiding and I was exhausted and needed some rest to be ready for the afternoon runs, which is when I saw the most animals.
At Bandgavrth, the Tiger Den was, also, very comfortable with a good staff. It was in the city, which allowed me to observed the celebration for the god, Durga, which was an added bonus.
I recommend Deepkul and Nature's Safari without reservation.
