What our guests say
EXCELLENT Based on 345 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Laura MVerified Tiger Safari Feb 2026 We had a great experience on our tiger safari! We went to see tigers and tigers we saw! On a total 11 safaris, we saw ~15 tigers. Additionally, we saw so many different types of animals: Indian wild dogs, sloth bears, civet cat, monkeys, deers, a flying squirrel, crocodile, wild boars, a leopard, numerous types of birds, and more. Our guides were kind and knowledgeable. The food especially at Saj in the Forrest was out of this world. It was not overly crowded as I had previously heard can be the case with Tiger safaris. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Graham JVerified Quality wildlife experience Excellent communication throughout. Prompt, accurate and informative information provided. Quality accommodations and service providers used by Wildlife Safaris.Posted on Tripadvisor ian rVerified 20+ tigers plus leopard with amazing food, service and accommodation My wife and I accompanied by my dad had a remarkable trip over the Christmas period. Two weeks across three national parks, Pench, Kanha and Bandhavgarh. Three very different lodges, each excellent. Tuli Tiger Corridor, Meru Vann and Treehouse Hideaway. The service was exceptional and the food delicious, albeit too much of it! Not a complaint but not good for our waistlines. Please note it is very cold in December and take some thick jackets and warm clothing. The temperatures are fine during the day but sat on an open vehicle at 6am it is cold. 4-5 layers plus blankets and hot water bottles, wooly hat, scarves and gloves were needed. The transfers were comfortable in good vehicles with excellent drivers. Be prepared for some bumpy rides in the parks and there are a lot of speed bumps in all the villages you will pass through. We were blessed with excellent guides in all three parks and that in combination with some exceptional luck resulted in 20+ tiger sightings over 15 game drives. We also saw a leopard with two cubs in a tree in Pench. There isn't the diversity of game I am used to in Zambia but when you get close to a tiger it is so worthwhile. They are quite majestic creatures. The geography of the trip necessitates some overnight stays in Delhi and we enjoyed both Roseate House (very close to the airport) and Claridges for some quaint old fashioned colonial charm. The Trident in Agra was comfortable for our brief overnight stay to fit in the Taj Mahal which again blew me away with its beauty; crowded but our local guide knew all of the shortcuts and seemed to open doors at will! He has been doing it for 22 years! I would highly recommend this company for their professionalism, very fair pricing and overall organisation. We felt safe and looked after throughout and plan to return for my 60th at Easter 2027.Posted on Tripadvisor kok kimVerified Wildlife delight amid flights inconveniences Nature Safari [NS] helped us do a 10day lion and tiger safaris in Sasan Gir and Bandhavgarh respectively. We had a great time [saw lions and cubs and tigers besides other wildlife] despite 2 of our planned domestic flights being cancelled due separately to the IndiGo pilot crisis and winter fog at Delhi airport. Neeraja and Pratim at NS reeponsively helped re-arrange new flights, and we were fortunately not stranded as a result. Just inconvenienced.Posted on Tripadvisor J and CVerified So you want to do a tiger safari? Go Nature Safari! From the very first email inquiry we were impressed with Nature Safari. Sharad Vats, the founder, responded to every query and concern and helped us to come up with an itinerary spanning city visits as well as safaris in national parks. Whenever he was unavailable, other staff assisted so we never felt on our own while, from New Zealand, we worked out all the details. Before we arrived in Delhi we were impressed to receive contact details plus a photo from Pratim who had been appointed to greet us. For two older women travelling on their own it was reassuring to receive this information rather than fly in and start searching for some unknown person carrying a piece of paper with our names on it. Every step of our journey reflected this level of care and detail, making our experience less stressful than expected. The accommodations booked on our behalf were very comfortable and the drivers and guides provided excellent service overall. Never did we feel concerned for our safety despite the traffic chaos often surrounding us! Our days spent exploring Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Varanasi felt too busy at times, a result of our being overly ambitious given our age and ailments, but we were always able to work with the company to limit our schedule when necessary. And, when I specifically wanted to add in a visit to Sheroes, the world’s first café operated by women victimised by acid attacks, this request was willingly facilitated by both the driver and guide. Our visits to Pench Tiger Reserve and Kanha National Park were amazing. The forest landscapes in each were stunning and the wildlife diverse and varied. We saw tigers in both venues, sleeping, swimming and stalking through the beautiful forests. One large male tiger looked weird with a striped front and grey/black rear. He looked like a composite from a children’s book where different halves of different animals can be joined to make fantastical creatures. Then I realised this was no strange beast – just a tiger with a rear covered in mud from the river! We unreservedly recommend Nature Safari and would be keen to find a way to enlist their services again for more great tiger safaris.Posted on Tripadvisor RichardDVerified Indian tiger safari excellence In March 2025, my wife and I enjoyed a fantastic private trip to India arranged by Ishana Vats of Nature Safari India. I highly recommend NSI and Ishana. I have an interest in photographing wildlife in its natural environment - and Ishana tailored our trip around this. We spent 6 days in both Kanha and Banghavgarh reserves - I recommend spending longer in fewer reserves than 2 night stands as it reduces the travelling time, and we got to know the staff and reserves much better. We also did the tourist stops of Agra (spend a little extra and stay at the Oberoi), Varanasi and Jaipur and a half day tour of Delhi. I recommend Nature Safari India as being a safe and knowledgeable tour operator.Posted on Tripadvisor Passport21141690327Verified They Made Everything Easy! The best company I've dealt with when organising a tour. Ishana was patient and understanding as we worked through our holiday itinerary. I was taking my 84 year old father to see the beautiful Bengal tigers, but I also wanted to fit it some landmarks like the Taj Mahal. Throughout the whole experience Ishana ensured everything was flawless. Even our internal flights had us dropped right at the exact entrance. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff we dealt with. It was wonderful.Posted on Tripadvisor Lynn KVerified Can't praise this company enough! From our very first enquiry Ishana was responsive, informative and helpful. She patiently worked with us to tweak one of their itineraries to create the trip of our dreams. Her attention to detail and concern to understand our desires could not be faulted. And it was affordable! Costing no more than an off the peg itinerary with a European company where we'd have been in a group. The trip itself lived up to all our hopes and we had the most amazing week seeing tigers, leopards and birds in abundance and a week visiting the cultural hot spots of India. All our guides we're experts in their area and our drivers were professional. If you are reading this to check the company is as good as it sounds then I can assure you it is! Book your trip with them, you will not regret it.Posted on Tripadvisor Dawn NVerified Wonderful Nature Safari Nature safari is by far the best travel/tour company I have ever dealt with. The booking and communication before the trip was excellent. All my questions & queries were answers within a day and in so much detail. Ishana was very friendly and helpful - it felt like I was meeting an old friend when we met by chance in the jungle! The whole trip from the moment we stepped foot in India was so wonderful. Everyone we met was so helpful, friendly, informative and could not do enough for us. All guides, drivers and naturalists who worked for or with Nature Safari were amazing. I have to give a particular mention about Kanha and our naturalist Kopal - words cannot express how wonderful and special the time we spent there was. It is something that my friends and I will remember forever.Posted on Tripadvisor Joan DVerified Something very different for me! I would highly suggest using this company, which went out of their way to ensure that a good time was had by all in our group of 14. All details were anticipated, and anything that was a bit of a burb in the road was attended to consciously. I did not think I would like the safari part of our extended trip to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and more because I was nervous about becoming lunch for a tiger! Our Nature guides were knowledgeable and friendly, filling in details about the animals and the ecosystem during our stay on the reserve. The hotel was gorgeous and was a lovely mental rest from the pace of the cities where we had been. The bulk of our 2.5 week trip was a cultural/textile outing. All the tiresome logistics were handled with great care. I've been on many tours, and I'd rank this one as among the very best.
