Safari Infrastructure
Our Safari Infrastructure
The safari booking is through the Govt online platform and can be accessed on www.safaribooking.mahaforest.gov.in. This online system is well developed which also has a TATKAL service available for late comers or last-minute visitors, which opens 3 days prior to the date of the safari. A quite transparent system and a good way for all and every to plan themselves to get a glimpse of The My Lord, The Mighty Panthera Tigris.
While we have no role to play on the online booking system, but yes, we can assist wherever and in whatever way we can, do reach out to us.
We are based comparatively at the newer side of TATR, Tadoba North, while the other areas are Mohurli and Kolsa Range. This area, in-spite of being new, has gained a lot of traction in terms of visitors with a whooping 80% success rate, with at least 10 gates including the core. The gates we cater to are Two Core gates Kolara and Navegaon, and buffer (where animals and human kind of co-exist) of Sirkheda, Palasgaon (primarily night safari), Belara, Madnapur, Kolara Buffer, Alizanjha, Navegaon and some more new opening up. The good thing is 98Stripes is within the radius of 2/3 kms for most gates.
The other advantage of TATR is that it's operational 12 months, with all buffer gates in operations during the rainy season, July to Oct, while the Core gates are shut.
I must add that the flora fauna and all the animals are so different during the rainy season. Apart from the Tiger you get to see plethora of different species of Bugs, Spiders, butterflies and some rare birds and amphibians.
TATR is a huge dense forest and we have access to only 20% of the forest land. Animals are shy and avoid humans; it’s certainly a matter of luck to sight them. Our advice to guest is to enjoy the wilderness in the lush forests while the prized species conveniently camouflage, it’s a delight when they present themselves to us.
Jungle lore says they see us 100% of the time and our chances of seeing them is 10%.
