Pench Weekend Safari

The magic of The Jungle Book (2N/3D)

24 May to 26 May 2024

4 safaris | Easy access from Nagpur.

2 hours drive from Nagpur (Maharashtra)   (View All Batches)

Overview

White rocks dot the grand landscape where flows the pretty Pench river, its blue waters shining like molten sapphire. A yellow form appears over one of the rocks, its white glistening against the blue of the river and the green of the vast woods beyond. As the yellow form stations itself on the rock, four more tiny balls of yellow fur appear next to it as the family starts walking toward us. The iconic tiger landscapes of this breathtaking forest come alive. Magic happens, firsthand!

What to expect?

Pench is a magical land which, more than a century ago, inspired Kipling to pen his life’s greatest work, & probably, one of the finest pieces of literature penned on Indian wildlife. The jungles of Pench still hold the essence and the aura of ‘The Jungle Book’. Legendary tigresses with cubs, extremely bold and beautiful leopards regally sitting atop big, black boulders which dot the mixed deciduous forests and a fabulous variety of animals and birds makes Pench a brilliant experience overall.

The neighbouring safari zones from Pench Maharashtra are having great sightings too. Our team of naturalists and guides would take you to a zone as per the sightings. We would, more often than not, know where the big cats are and where the sightings should happen! This 4-day safari tour to this incredible central Indian jungle would make you lost for words. A few days later, you never know, you might end up becoming a writer! Such is the beauty, such is the aura, such is the charm of this forest! The white sands of Saatmod and the densely forested hills of Patdev await you!

Day 1
Drive Nagpur to Pench - Evening Safari - Overnight in Pench.

(Those flying to Nagpur can take the early morning from Pune / Mumbai).

On our arrival in Nagpur in the morning, we have a sumptuous breakfast before driving to Pench. After freshening up, some relaxation and orientation, we go for an evening safari. After 3.5 splendid hours in the jungle, where we search for the tiger and other attractions and enjoy the magnificent beauty all around, we return to the resort for some rest / games and dinner.

At night, we will also screen a film on wildlife for the campers followed by a group discussion. 

Day 2
Morning & Evening Jungle Safari - Overnight in Pench.

We shall go on 2 more safaris in the magnificent Pench jungle. The myriad of birds, animals and the thrill of a Tiger safari is sure to leave the campers spellbound. In the evening, we will have a few more interactive sessions in the form of a photography workshop and a Nature Quiz. This will be followed by a mega party! 

Day 3
Morning safari - Drive back to Nagpur.

After our last safari in this pretty jungle, we come back for our farewell lunch before heading towards Nagpur. Long handshakes and warm hugs later, we part ways for the time-being, but the many pictures and memories would keep us together for a long time.
