Satpura National Park Safari Trips & Tours

With its diverse terrain, experiences and animals, Satpura will satisfy the most ardent safari junkie.

The iconic copper stripes of a Royal Bengal are without doubt what brings most people to Madhya Pradesh, but once you’ve ticked off your tiger, it’s in places like Satpura that the magic of the jungle really comes alive. Probably the least well-known of the central reserves, Satpura is staggeringly beautiful and the experience is varied and fabulous. Jeep safaris are the best way to see the myriad animals – deers, leopard, wild dog, sambars, sloth bears, gaur and monkeys to get you started – but there are also bikes, canoes, boats and even elephants from which to conduct your wildlife watching. The biggest draw is, however, the chance to walk. The reserve is criss-crossed with trails and it’s only on foot that you’ll really get to grips with the flora and fauna and absorb the true magic of the wilderness. Best pack those walking boots.
