Madhya Pradesh, often hailed as the "Tiger State of India," boasts the highest number of tigers in the country and is a dream destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Home to some of India’s most iconic national parks—Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Panna, and Satpura—this central Indian state offers thrilling safari experiences set against diverse landscapes, from dense sal forests to open meadows and riverine habitats.
Each park offers a unique charm: Bandhavgarh is famous for its high tiger density and dramatic terrain; Kanha inspired Kipling’s Jungle Book and offers classic jungle vistas and a chance to see the hard ground swamp deer (barasingha); Pench is a birdwatcher's paradise and home to tigers as well as leopards; Satpura allows for walking and boat safaris, offering intimate wildlife encounters; and Panna, once depleted of tigers, is now a conservation success story.
Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or a first-time visitor, the tiger safaris here promise awe-inspiring moments—from a tiger's silent gaze through the foliage to the alarm call of a langur echoing through the forest.
