Tigers and so much more!

We spent 14 days at 4 different lodges and National Parks in Central India. Everything was perfectly planned, the lodges were amazing and the wildlife in the parks was fantastic

Naturetrek always make sure that their holidays are packed full! If you're not out looking at big animals, there is always time for some bird or butterfly watching. They use top grade accommodation and plan everything to ensure guests have a great holiday

One week in two of central India’s tiger National Parks - Pench and Kahna. An amazing experience packed with excitement and wonderful insights and excellent accommodation too.

Tigers large and small

Our holiday was absolutely fantastic. We were so well looked after by everyone. All the staff involved in our stay deserve a massive thank you. We don't eat Indian food at home so we weren't sure we were going to like the food. However we were amazed at how fresh and delicious it all was. We were blessed on seeing tigers up close. They are so much bigger in real life, they are such beautiful creatures. We saw a male, a female, and females ...

Our holiday was absolutely fantastic. We were so well looked after by everyone. All the staff involved in our stay deserve a massive thank you. We don't eat Indian food at home so we weren't sure we were going to like the food. However we were amazed at how fresh and delicious it all was. We were blessed on seeing tigers up close. They are so much bigger in real life, they are such beautiful creatures. We saw a male, a female, and females with cubs. We saw beautiful birds which were so colourful, the birds of prey were also stunning. Our guides pointed out everything and had amazing knowledge. We were the only vehicle to have the absolute pleasure of seeing wild dogs too, which decided to play just in front of us. It was an honour. We also saw snakes which was an absolute treat too. A fantastic holiday, I'd love to do it all again!

Naturetrek’s ‘Tigers Direct’ tour.

A fantastic short break to India and two national parks in search of tigers and other wildlife. My first trip with NatureTrek and I was hugely impressed with the service and organisation.

NatureTrek were recommended to me by a friend and they were fantastic. The guides were brilliant - knowledgable, helpful, friendly, enthusiastic. The accommodation was excellent and overall I couldn’t have hoped for more from a tour operator.

Fantastic holiday

The whole trip was very well organised and planned, concentrating on the wildlife parks with minimal travelling in between. All the lodges were lovely with friendly, helpful staff and we were lucky to be travelling in a group of super people who quickly all became friends.

From making our first enquiry, receiving our tour guidelines and pre-departure information, keeping us updated with latest news, Naturetrek were very professional throughout, everything was really well documentated, they were always available to answer any questions and give advise if needed, their guides on the trip were fantastic, very knowledgeable and keen for us to get good sightings, look forward to travelling with them again soon, and think everyone in our little party felt the same.

The local guides & drivers were excellent, they were determined to find us the wildlife we wanted to see The NatureTrek leaders were both lovely.....friendly, professional, knowledgeable and caring. Everything ran like clockwork. We were lucky enough to see 5 tigers, sloth bears, wild dogs, giant squirrels, hundreds of bird species and almost everything we had hoped ( but never expected ) to see!

I can not recommend NatureTrek highly enough. The pre-departure information was outstanding. Absolutely everything was covered. The whole tour was brilliant, and everything ran very smoothly. There was nothing whatsoever to complain about!! One of the best organised holidays I have ever had!

Excellent wildlife experience in a fascinating country offering great diversity and providing excellent guides

Travelled to Tadiba Pench and Kanha with super tiger sightings and excellent knowledgable guides. A well put together tour with a small group of equal enthusiasts. Naturetrek give good information and deliver what is advertised. We have travelled with them on numerous occasions and will definitely travel with them again.

Excellent tour operator who gives relevant accurate information and deliver on what they advertise. Approachable prior to booking and provide excellent guides who are not only knowledgable but are personable and have lovely senses of humour. We raised a few niggles after the holiday which they replied to and addressed what they could or could not do about any small comments which addressed the concerns.

Stunning comfortable accommodationin all 3 reserves with tasty locally sourced meals. Well organised and excellent tour leaders Durgesh Singh and Anand Sinha who were calm,efficient and very fair with well planned rotas giving opportunities for everyone.to see the animals and birds they wanted to. There was a wide range of wildlife with Tigers being the main focus initially but the variety of animals led us to see leopards,Sloth bears and many more with colourful birds ,flowers, insects and trees providing a wider knowledge of the 3 varied reserves. Stories and intimate knowledge and memories from our guides created a real feeling of involvement in the spotting and trackiing process. My husband and I and our friends had excellent photo opportunities better than ever expected with Tigers sighted within the first hour of our first day and then walking so close by. Breathtaking. We have so many amazing photos and memories .Thank you very much Nature trek😊👩‍🌾.

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled widely around the world but Naturetrek are new to us , They did not disappoint and we would be keen to explore further tours with them in the future. Communication was efficient resulting in detailed accurate information being sent to us in advance of our trip which allowed us to plan well before leaving. We appreciated the brochure with lots of information about daily plans and transfers and the pre information regarding accommodation,group members and tour leaders. Our travel from Manchester via London and Mumbai to Nagpur and onwards was well co-ordinated and efficient. The tour was well run with eager anticipation daily as we all set out to follow the carefully organised planning of Durgesh Singh and supported byAnand Sinha. They were amazing. A well thought out and excellent tour from start to finish. Thank you.
