India - Tiger Direct! Traveller Reviews

We travelled with NatureTrek (our 9th tour with them) in the hopes of seeing Tigers on their Tigers Direct holiday. We saw, at very close range, Tigers and cubs, Sloth Bears and Leopards plus many other indigenous mammals and enjoyed frequent sightings of exotic eagles and owls. Our first tiger sighting was made after just 20 minutes of entering the National Park on our first day! Our most memorable experience? Well, two actually - A Tigress who brought her twin cubs to show off to us on a bank at eye-level just 12 feet away from our open jeep and a male tiger crossing the track immediately behind our parked jeep and who gave us a good hard look then emitted a spine-chilling grow! A truly wonderful experience and to be strongly recommended.

NatureTrek has had a 100% success rate in seeing tigers on this particular itinerary. A consistently good operator across all continents which is why we are travelling with them again next year.

An amazing adventure in India - perfectly organised by real professionals. Our target was to see and photograph Indian wildlife, specifically Tigers. We saw eleven of these magnificent creatures and got some great shots. Our guide was brilliant in every respect. Accommodation was as expected, a very good standard for the environment. All went like clockwork despite a fairly extensive itinerary. Naturetrek staff both in UK, India could not be more helpful. We love wildlife holidays and fully expect to use Naturetrek for our future adventures!

Superb from day one, nothing too much trouble and very efficiently handled.

Flew to Nagha via Mumbai. Visited four tiger reserves. Accommodation excellent in small lodges. Accompanied throughout by high quality experienced guides, drivers and spotters. Visited Tadoba, Pench, Kanha & Satpura national parks. Two drives every day, early morning and afternoon/evening. Saw tiger on 10 occasions together with sloth bear, wild dogs, jackals, leopard etc. Wonderful birding. Naturetrek employed the best personnel available who gave us an unforgettablke experience. Unfortunately we were let down on the journey home by Jet Airways poor timekeeping. The Naturetrek Mumbai agent sorted everything: transport, overnight hotel etc.

Naturetrek are one of the best operators for wildlife holidays. Having used them several times they cannot be faulted for service before and after the holiday.

We travelled to 3 different Tiger Reserves in central India and saw a total of 10 different Tigers, 1 Leopard, 3 Sloth Bears and a family of Wild Dog amongst many other wonderful sightings. The Tour was extremely well organised, Tour Leader excellent,accommodation great particularly Kanha Jungle Lodge, food fabulous. What a wonderful wildlife experience, the sightings of Tiger in particular will live long in the memory, rural India was beautiful, people very welcoming

1st Class, Excellent pre tour information, and the organisation on the holiday was superb. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and informative with fantastic knowledge of all aspects of wildlife, the parks, excellent relationships with Park Guides and Hotel owners. Didn't have to worry about anything other than enjoying the experience.. 1st class..

We visited 4 tiger reserves. Had close viewings of 3 tigers and distance views of 3 more. Close viewing of Sloth bear and cubs, Leopard and Wild Dogs on a kill. Amazing birds Great accommodation and great food. Only 8 people on tour ideal to have small number when bird watching. Naturetrek gave us an amazing ,wonderful experience

Excellent pre tour information. Excellent guides. Excellent accommodation and food.

A nine day tour named Tiger Direct visiting Pench and Kanha Tiger Reserves with Naturetrek. WE were met and looked after by two local Guides Indrajit Latey and Yusuf Rizvi. They were both courteous and helpful in ensuring we had an excellent experience on our visit and with their knowledge ensured we learnt as much as possible about the wildlife, flora and fauna we saw. They were also very enthusiastic in sharing our experiences with us particularly our sighting of a tiger. They were so pleased for us. Their organisational skills were such that we did not have any problems and any slight hitches were dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Naturetrek were very efficient in organising our visit to India. Their staff both in the UK and India were always helpful and dealt with us in a cheerful and efficient way, nothing was to much trouble for them. I will recommend them to all my friends.
