Wildlife Safari In Bandhavgarh National Park
The beautiful and diverse landscapes of Madhya Pradesh with exotic flora and fauna make it an excellent choice for enjoying wildlife safari holidays.
With numerous elegant national parks and wildlife reserves, it is difficult to choose a destination for your safari holidays in this state.
The Bagdara Wildlife Sanctuary in the Sidhi district can be a good choice for travelers who wish to explore the amazing wildlife of Madhya Pradesh.
Spread across an area of nearly 478 sq. km., you can spot some exotic animals in the Bagdara Wildlife Sanctuary through the safari such as tiger, cheetal, panther, sambhar, wild boar, chinkara and black buck and a wide variety of avian species.
There are two main ways of getting about in the park - in a motor vehicle or on the elephant’s back, both of which can be categorized as Jeep safari or elephant safari respectively. Many of the animals are now accustomed to both; even so, it is best to get closer to them more safely and notice their rapid movements.
Jeep safaris can best be undertaken from dawn until about 10 am and from about 4 pm until dusk, as the animals are most active during these periods. A Forest Department guide must always accompany you. This guide will be able to direct you and point out wildlife. Elephants are used every morning by the Forest Department for Tiger-tracking. If a Tiger is found, then the elephant will take you directly to the Tiger either from the lodge or from a nearby point reached by jeep/car.
