Wonderful Tiger Tours In Panna, India

Tiger tours make for a thrilling wildlife holiday for enthusiasts of all ages. Travel to India on one of the fabulous Tiger tours and you will truly be embarking on the holiday of a lifetime. This beautiful creature is the undisputed king of the Indian jungle and, despite its elusive nature, it can still be sighted in the depths of the Indian jungle. Panna Tiger Reserve Panna is a popular destination for Tiger tours primarily because it is one of the most untouched and unspoiled reserves in the country. The big cat roams freely here, along with the Leopard, Wild Dog, Wolf and Hyena. The Sloth Bear also makes its home here and it can often be seen lazing in the rock escarpments high above the valleys. Much of the reserve is wooded, making it prime habitation for the largest of the Indian deer, the Chital, while the Nilgai and Chinkara can be spotted easily in the open grasslands. The abundance of other mammals, reptiles and birdlife make Tiger tours in Panna even more exciting for the wildlife enthusiast. Panna has a climate that is usually hot and dry, which is perfect for the dry teak forest and other mixed forests that dominate the area. There is a variety of vegetation in the park, including open grasslands, tall grasses and thorny woodland; it is this diversity that is conducive to providing the habitat for so many different animals. The beautiful Ken River runs through the park and is a haven for birdlife. In fact, more than 200 birds have been recorded in the reserve and most people who visit are treated to some wonderful sightings.

There are regular safaris that offer the opportunity to participate in night drives into the park. This offers the chance to see the Owls, Nightjars, Jungle Cats and Civets, who all come to life once the sun has set. Daily game drives leave camp in the early morning and later in the afternoon and take you deep into the heart of the reserve. Open topped jeeps allow for great photo opportunities, and an expert naturalist guide is there to provide information and decipher the best places for sightings. Tours in Panna can be extended to include a visit to other reserves, such as the famous Bandhavgarh, with its dense Tiger population and incredible ancient fort dominating its centre. You can also head to the cultural capital of India and spend a few days in Delhi and Agra, for a very different and rather more cultural experience of this marvellous country.
