BANDHAVGARH & SANJAY DUBRI
Two tiger landscapes · One unforgettable trip ex-Jabalpur
Two High-Density Tiger Corridors in One Trip
Bandhavgarh is world-renowned for boasting one of the highest densities of Royal Bengal tigers on the planet, framed by ancient 2,000-year-old fort ruins, sal forests, and dramatic bamboo valleys. Just a few hours away lies Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve, an untouched, pristine wilderness of rolling hills and perennial streams forming a crucial ecological corridor.
By combining four focused drives in Bandhavgarh with two immersive drives in the untamed Sanjay Dubri, Safariwale offers photographers and wildlife enthusiasts the ultimate Madhya Pradesh tiger tracking experience with expert naturalists.
