"We were a small group of 5 who…"

We were a small group of 5 who travelled to India on a tiger safari and the to the Taj Mahal. I cannot speak highly enough of the tour company Nature Safari India. We spent 4 nights at kings Lodge Bandavgarh. The staff there could not do enough for us and made our stay so fantastic. Our naturalist Ajeet was excellent very courteous and very helpful in every way. This made the experience so special and luckily we saw many tigers. The tour company also organised all our internal flight and transfers to the hotels and all this was organised perfectly. Our tour coordinator Deepkul did an excellent job ever ready to answer any queries we had . He was there every step of the way to help with everything. If you’re looking for an amazing tiger safari experience I highly recommend Nature Safari india. Our sincere thanks to Deepkul and Sharad and the team from Nature Safari for making our tiger safari trip so memorable. Thank you

"Amazing Experience - Great Compny"

My wife an I recently spent 4 nights at The Tree House Hidaway, Bandhavgarh National Park. From the initial contact and correspondence with Sharad, and then Abhishek the response's were quick informative and incredibly welcoming, indeed it was Abhishek who met us at Delhi airport and made sure everything was in order. Nothing was too much trouble and we were rewarded with a fantastic experience . The accommodation was first class and we felt very spoilt. Our guide/naturalist (Sanjay) was both knowledgeable and humorous and had a great knack of spotting tigers. We had 4 good sightings, his English was also very good. We will definitely return one day and would have no hesitation in recommending this company. If we would do anything different next time, it would maybe have a day or a morning off from Safari so you could really appreciate and relax in the special atmosphere and surroundings of the Tree House Hideaway.
Thanks to all at Nature Safari India for a fantastic trip.

"Amazing experience!"

We travelled as a small group of family and friends to Bandhavgarh National Park on Tiger safari and a short extended tour to the Taj Mahal.

Thanks to Sharad and the team at Nature Safari India we have had the most memorable trip. Every detail was looked into and any questions or requests we had answered and attended to promptly.

Ajeet, our naturalist was knowledgeable, calm and excellent at sighting the tigers. The accommodation at King’s Lodge was wonderful with excellent service and great food. The accommodation in New Delhi and Agra was equally excellent and Shyam our guide to the Taj Mahal was also great. We always felt safe when transferring from one location to another, with excellent drivers and good vehicles.

A special thanks goes out to our tour coordinator, Deepkul, who worked tirelessly to keep things running smoothly. We had a few hiccups (absolutely no fault of Nature Safari India) and Deepkul went over and beyond to assist with sorting out the issues.

We will not hesitate to recommend Nature Safari India to family and friends. We certainly will be rebooking with them in the future to explore other national parks and cultural sites in India.

"Sarfari Experience of a Lifetime"

If you are looking for an amazing safari experience in India, I highly recommend seeking out Nature Safari India as your "go to" company for your safari experience, especially if you are single and traveling alone. All the staff at Pench Tree Lodge were exceptional.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and safe, which was an important factor for me since I was traveling alone. I had the pleasure of staying in Tree house #3 while on safari. If you have never stayed in a tree house, this experience is a must. Every aspect of my experience was exceptional. From the warmth and kindness of the manager to the amazing food prepared by the chef, Pankaj.

Every meal I experience at the lodge was made from ingredients from the organic garden they have on premise and was prepared fresh for each meal. Each meal was a culinary delight which I eagerly looked forward to each day. The staff at the dining hall were attentive to each little detail and often anticipated a need before I could ask. The cuisine and service were equal to any 5-star dining experience in the States.

Even though this was my first safari, it was clear from the start that my guide, Radhe, was a master at his craft. His knowledge, expertise, and passion for the wildlife was evident from the first day. During my three-day safari, Radhe taught me more about the Pench National Park and its wildlife than a college course could have. With his expertise in "tracking" I was blessed to see 2 tigers and a leopard over those three days. Thank you, Radhe, for the safari of a lifetime!

To sum up my stay at the Pench Tree Lodge and safari experience, I felt like I arrived as a guest, but left feeling like family!

"India Tiger Safari 2023"

In Feb 23 we finally set forth for our Indian Tiger Safari adventures, 7 years in the planning and delayed for 3 years by Covid. We combined our safaris with Indian sights, including some that focussed on family history in Indore, Delhi, Shimla, visited major Indian sights - Delhi, Shimla, Jaipur, Indore, Maheshwar, all put together beautifully by Sharad Vats. We got our feel for yesteryear and the British Raj when we stayed in an old palace in Shimla, The Woodville Palace Hotel, in a Haveli (an old mansion house) in Jaipur, and in a former palace with a current prince in residence at Ahilya Fort. We also stayed in regular hotels, generally 4 star. We visited many historical monuments and sights, visited the Taj Mahal (with amazing guide called Khizar who is both very knowledgeable about the Taj and Agra Fort and also a wizz on iPhone photography including "trick" photography. For these locations, he knows all the tricks and places and poses for "professional" pictures of you all with your mobile phone camera. You hardly need to take photos yourself), we walked through markets, made woodblock prints in Jaipur, hiked a mountain in Shimla and at loads of nice food.

Our tiger safaris were the absolute highlight of our trip and we visited three National Parks - Jim Corbett National Park (5 safaris) , Bandhavgarh National Park (7 safaris) and Kanha National Park (5 safaris). An original itinerary for 2020 had us doing shared jeep safaris, and on Sharad's advice, we changed and undertook all safaris on an exclusive basis, which was so much better. Each park gave us several fantastic tiger sightings including "our own tiger" on several occasions and these "own tiger" sightings were aided by the incredible skills and knowledge of our drivers and guides - Vijay and Pervej in Corbett, Ajeet in Bandhavgarh, and Mahish in Kanha. They know the names of all the birds and animals, and they know just where to look for the tigers, and pointed them out when we couldn't see them!

The national parks are spectacular, with awesome sunrises and sunsets and you are removed from the hustle and bustle and crowds and traffic of daily Indian life, to experience space, animals and birds and the natural environment in a peaceful way. Each park was different in its own way, and we saw all of the common animals - tigers, many types of deer, sloth bears including with babies, jackals and pups, wild dogs, elephants, many many birds including peacocks galore. I think the only animal we didn't see was a leopard.

The planning for this trip began prior to Nature Safari's visibility on Trip Advisor, and resulted from a pot luck internet search which sounded interesting. Sharad replied very quickly to my first email and it all began from there - Sharad was happy to accommodate anything we wanted to do, rearrange the itinerary and so on, and was always quick to answer emails, answer questions and provide information. When we finally arrived, we were met at the airport by Deepkul and a driver, and had drivers and guides with us the whole time we were in India, making everything hassle free and all the arrangements seamless. Deepkul maintained contact with us via Whats App and phone, providing driver and guide details to us for our new locations. All drivers were professional and safe drivers in the midst of what we saw as mayhem on the roads, helpful, and the cars air conditioned and immaculate with "supplies" of snacks, water and soft drinks, and Wifi!! They stopped when required, took us to nice clean roadside restaurants with generally clean bathroom facilities and western toilets. Some of the drives were incredibly long, but this really helped us cope with them.

If I had to say our favourite place - I would say Corbett and Dhikala lodge, it was where we saw our first tiger, and the location of the lodge within the National Park is great, and it is very beautiful overlooking the river. Its a very rustic lodge, vegetarian only, and sometimes the power goes out (take a torch), but we loved it none the less.

"EXCELLENT WILDLIFE SAFARI INCLUDING TIGERS UP CLOSE!"

In a world where too many species are already extinct, this Tiger Safari is a must-do. We got up close to many species and got excellent photographs. We saw sloth bears, Indian gaurs, mongoose, a barrel of monkeys, peacocks, thousands of deer, macaques, leopards, beautiful birds, wild chickens, wild elephants, and, of course, WILD BENGAL TIGERS...lots of them!! Traveling in India (Hindi spoken) might have been challenging/intimidating were it not for the step-by-step hand-holding of Sharad, Deepkul, and Abishek. They shepherded us thru every challenge without a worry. I have never seen customer service and intimate personal care of this level anywhere else in the world. Thank you so much, Tiger Safari India.
