Tadoba National Park

Maharashtra’s Premier Tiger Safari Destination

Maharashtra’s oldest protected forest, Tadoba National Park, is a beautiful, wild place; it has gently curving hills, thick, dry forests of trees that lose their leaves in the dry season, and peaceful Todoba Lake in the centre. Tadoba was once a secret known to people who liked to go on wildlife trips away from the usual places, but in the last few years it has become very well-known because so many more tigers have been seen there, and is now one of the best places in India to go on a tiger safari.

A Wide Variety of Plants and Animals

Covering 625 square kilometres – with 116 square kilometres as the main protected area – Tadoba National Park has forests of teak and bamboo, grassland, and small areas of dry, mixed forest, all of which make it a really good place to see animals. The park is the home of about sixty to seventy wild tigers, as well as leopards, sloth bears, and Indian wild dogs. In the dry season, animals are easier to see at the temporary pools of water, and the nearby Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary makes the protected area even bigger, helping the animals to live and grow in numbers.

Because of Tadoba’s plants and wide open spaces, it is among the best places in Maharashtra for wildlife photos and safari trips; and being easy to get to from Nagpur, and open all year, means visitors can enjoy safaris in the monsoon season – which is not often possible in India’s national parks.

Safari Experience in Tadoba National Park

Morning Jeep Safari

The morning safari starts at about six o’clock, depending on when the sun rises, and lasts between three and three and a half hours. Early morning is the best time to see animals being active, as it is cooler then. Visitors go back to their hotel or resort to rest and have a good breakfast or lunch after the safari.

Evening Jeep Safari

The evening safari, which lasts three to three and a half hours, is in the late afternoon and gives a chance to see animals which are active at twilight and at night, as the forest goes into darkness. After a thrilling day looking for wildlife, visitors return to where they are staying to relax.
