New Indian Wildlife tour
Bengal tigers, elephants, leopards, deer and hummingbirds are just some of the native Indian animals that could be spotted by travellers on Active Travel’s new India Wildlife Safari, departing from Delhi in March, 2015.
Hosted by one of India’s premier wildlife experts, Raghu Kulkarni, the safari includes visits to the rugged Satpura National Park and also the lush Kanha National Park, which was the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s classic ‘The Jungle Book’. Both parks feature wild animals such as tigers, elephants and leopards.
The 12-day itinerary begins with two days exploring Delhi’s historic buildings, colourful bazaars and gardens, before guests fly to Kanha. Spanning over 1945 km², the Kanha National Park is known for preserving a number of endangered animal species, including the barasingha (swamp deer) which previously faced extinction. There, over the next three days, the group will take part in morning and evening jeep safaris, walk to local villages
and relax in the comfortable safari lodge.
