INDIA TIGER SAFARI
MAR. 26TH - APR. 8TH, 2026
5 Spaces Available!
This exciting two-week tour journeys deep into the heart of Madhya Pradesh, home to some of India’s most charismatic wildlife and ancient forests. Beginning in Panna Tiger Reserve, known for its dramatic landscapes, gorges, and teak forests, photographers will encounter a wilder, less-traveled side of central India. Panna offers a sense of raw wilderness and increasing tiger sightings thanks to successful conservation efforts. Morning and afternoon game drives provide opportunities to capture tigers in golden light, along with leopards, sloth bears, jackals, and birdlife including paradise flycatchers, vultures, and owls.
After days in Panna, the safari continues to Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, one of India’s most iconic tiger habitats. With one of the highest densities of tigers in the country, Bandhavgarh offers exceptional chances of photographing these elusive cats in a variety of backdrops—from bamboo thickets and sal forests to open meadows. The reserve’s rich biodiversity also includes deer species like sambar and chital, langurs, wild boars, and a striking array of raptors and forest birds.
Throughout the journey, your photography will be supported by award winning wildlife photographer and India native, Anu Marwah. Top tier guides and naturalist will also accompany you on each game drive.
In order to give you the best photographic opportunities, there will only be two guests per jeep. This means that everyone will have open access to both sides of the vehicle and plenty of room for gear. This does raise the cost of the safari but is a feature we feel is important to give you the highest quality experience.
Please note…there are no safaris on Wednesday afternoons per park regulations. Other activities will be arranged.
