Experience Highlights
2 Pench Jungle Safaris
Your two safaris are planned across one morning and one afternoon drive, subject to permit availability and Forest Department allocation. The changing light, temperature and animal activity can make the two drives very different. Keep an eye out for tiger movement, alarm calls, fresh tracks, gaur, sambar, chital, wild dogs and the many birds that inhabit Pench.
Explore the Forest Behind The Jungle Book
Pench sits within the Seoni landscape associated with Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. The safari takes you through the real Central Indian forest that inspired the world of Mowgli, with teak woodland, open clearings, water bodies and wildlife forming the setting.
Experience Pench Beyond the Tiger
A tiger may be the highlight of a safari, yet Pench has much more to offer. Leopards, sloth bears, dhole, gaur, sambar, chital, wild boar and a remarkable range of birds can appear along the same forest tracks.
Comfortable Transfers from Nagpur
Nagpur is a convenient gateway to Pench, particularly for travellers visiting the Maharashtra side. Your AC transfers are planned around your arrival, resort check-in, safari schedule and departure, keeping the journey between city and forest comfortable.
Stay Close to the Forest
Two nights at a comfortable wildlife resort give you enough time to settle into the surroundings, enjoy the forest atmosphere between safaris and start early for your morning drive without rushing through the experience.
Meals Planned Around Your Safaris
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included throughout the stay. Safari mornings are planned around the forest schedule, with breakfast arranged after the morning drive so you can make the most of your time inside Pench.
