Tadoba Safari Booking

Tadoba Jungle Safari Booking by Banzaara Travels

Tadoba National Park is one of India’s 47 planned tiger reserves. However, it is also known as the “Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.”  It is notable for being the oldest and largest National Park in Maharashtra. It is roughly 150 miles from Nagpur city and is located in the Chandrapur district of the state of Maharashtra. The 1,727 sq. km. total area of the tiger reserve includes the Tadoba National Park. The Tadoba Andheri Tiger Reserve was established in 1995 following the merger of the park and the Andhari Wildlife Sanctuary. The name “Tadoba” or “Taru,” which is lauded by the local tribal people of this region, is the source of the word “Tadoba.” While the name “Andhari” is taken from the name of the Andhari river. This river flows through this region. 

Three distinct forest ranges make up the Tadoba National Park: the Tadoba north range, the Kolsa south range, and the Morhurli range, which is located in between the first two. The “Tadoba Lake,” “Kolsa Lake,” and “Tadoba River” are three lakes and one river in the park that are filled each monsoon. The park’s life depends on the critical components that these lakes and rivers give.

Types

Jeep Safari

The Moharli (Mohurli) Zone, Tadoba Zone, and Kolsa Zone are the three zones in the reserve that provide access to the Jeep Safari. The Jeep Safari is the topmost activity and the tickets get sold out quickly. It’s advised to do your Tadoba Safari Booking before time to avoid unavailability. Moreover, the open Jeep trip, often known as a “tiger safari,” is typically only a few hours long and takes place in a dense reserve where there is a good chance of seeing tigers and other wild creatures.

Canter safari

There is room for 22 people on this global safari at once. This canter, also known as a shared safari, is a large open vehicle with two guides inside. The most affordable safari option available is on a canter. Online reservations can be made in advance for Moharli gate. The Moharali zone is the only area in Tadoba Jungle Safari offering a canter safari. Tadoba’s area is with the highest traffic. A canter safari is an efficient way to tour the Moharli zone which is both precious and charming. You can extend the worth of your trip to Tadoba by riding in this minivan to the deep forest.

Safari booking procedure

Since there is now no online booking option for Tadoba Safari, one can visit the DFO Office in Chandrapur District, close to the tiger reserve, and try for spot booking at the Navegoan Gate. The neighborhood taxi stands provide the jeeps for rent together with professional drivers. 

Visitors are not permitted to exit the jeep during the safari expedition. It is because doing so could endanger their lives. Additionally, they must adhere to a set of guidelines during the tiger safari, which the park guide can explain as they are fully aware of it.

Safari zones

One of the best spots in India to watch the Royal Bengal Tigers is the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. Tadoba Jungle gives a broad perspective of the ecosystem and the opportunity to encounter tigers and other animals in the wild. Consequently, Jeep Safari is commonly referred to as a “tiger safari.” It is one way to explore it.  Three zones, each with a unique access gate, make up the reserve:

The Moharli (Mohurli) Zone is well-known for its excellent tiger sightings and for providing tourists with first-rate lodging options. Tadoba Zone and Kolsa Zone are the other two zones that have easy access to the Moharli Gate. The finest place to go tiger-spotting is Moharli, which is well-known for housing the most tigers per square mile. The most practical way to experience the TATR’s amazing diversity of flora and fauna is on an open Jeep safari. By doing the jeep safari, there is a greater chance of seeing rare wild tigers and other animals as well. 

Tadoba Zone:

The Tadoba Zone is well-known for providing travelers with a variety of fauna and beautiful landscapes. Additionally, it has four gates that are located at Moharli, Navegaon, Kolara, and Khutwanda.

Kolsa Zone:

The Kolsa Zone is well-known for its spectacular forest vistas because there are fewer opportunities to see wild creatures there. Moharli, Pangdi, and Zari have gates that allow access to this area.

Safari Zone in Zari:

The zari safari zone, which provides the best and clearest view of the national park, has its special beauty and diverse contributions, including staycations close by along with necessary amenities and other things of the kind.
