Typically, expect to budget around $10,000 for a 10-day experience staying at two or three luxury tented accommodations. For a longer 22-day safari in India, expect to budget from around $17,500 per person. This will generally include domestic flights to and from Delhi or Mumbai, private jeep safaris in Pench, Kanha and Ranthambore National Parks, four camps and additional unique sightseeing stops.
Complementing the obvious cultural charms that it has to offer; India is home to a truly impressive range of accommodations and we have some great advice on the best places to stay in India. Around the popular parks of Kanha, Bandhavgarh and Ranthambore you can find options ranging from authentic tented camps to treetop hideaways and luxury lodges.
The best time to go to India will depend on the region you wish to go to, but if your focus is tracking tigers, it is best to travel during the drier periods between February and April, when rising temperatures increasingly draw predators and prey to fresh water sources. During monsoon season, July to September, most national parks are closed.
NWS provide very thorough information ahead of the trip and kept me up to date which was reassuring given the start of a war just before my trip. Any questions I had were always answered.
I'm used to travelling alone but the support was excellent & seamless. Transfers between the airport & hotel and those between national parks were very well organised, clean and comfortable with bottled water and snacks provided in vehicles. In the national parks we had the advantage of 'all day passes' so were able to spend many hours in the parks looking for wildlife.
I have travelled with NWS on wildlife adventures several times, and they are great! What I like the most is they are always there to greet and assist you at the airports, lodges, hotels - everywhere! At the airports, they take you to the check in desk, make sure you and your luggage get on the plane, and take full care of you when you arrive at your next destination. Everything is worry free! Their guides and drivers are excellent! They will do everything possible to make your tour wonderful. I will travel with them again!
I have been using NWS as my go to agents in wildlife photography safaris for decades. This most recent trip to 2 parks in India; Tadoba and Kanha and an additional stop in Jawai were fantastic,
For 3 weeks I enjoyed some of the best large Indian predator sightings, not only the expected tigers and leopards but also Indian wild dogs I have had in years of going there, I also enjoyed sighting many of the other creatures of India,
All 3 lodges I stayed at were beautifully designed and maintained, They all provided meals that highlighted local cuisine and regional specialties which I prefer. the staff everywhere were friendly and knowledgeable.
Another memorable journey.
The only private tour operator that really listened to my needs and wants. As a seasoned safari traveller, it was unique to have such compassion and professionalism. All drivers & lodge personnel were gracious, always on time and I never felt any anxious moments as I traveled alone. I felt I was treated with kindness, patience and was well cared for.
We learnt about Natural World Safaris from our daughter and her family, for whom they arranged a trip of a lifetime to India last year. So when we decided to explore Kerala this February, Natural World Safaris were the people we turned to. And we are so happy we did! It was obvious from our first phone call that they had a great deal of knowledge and experience in our destination and their friendly ease of approach made planning our trip a shared joy. They arranged a wonderful itinerary for us and they and their contacts in India were on hand throughout our trip with help and guidance as needed. All of the places we stayed in were of the highest standard, the guides and activities in Kerala were excellent and we felt in very good hands throughout the trip. We had a wonderful two weeks exploring Kerala, and would have no hesitation in choosing Natural World Safaris for our next wildlife adventure.
