The Tiger Safari:Central India

Tigers in India are a symbol of the country’s rich biodiversity and wildlife heritage. These majestic creatures inhabit a range of environments, from dense forests to grasslands, showcasing their adaptability and predatory prowess. India is home to 70% of the world's tiger population, with numerous reserves and protected areas dedicated to their conservation. Efforts to safeguard these iconic big cats have led to increased tiger numbers and enhanced habitat protection. Central India is your best bet to meet this King of Indian jungles.

India's Project Tiger, initiated on April 1, 1973, was a landmark conservation effort aimed at saving the country's dwindling tiger population and its habitat. The project established nine key reserves to protect tigers and their ecosystems. This initiative has been pivotal in increasing the tiger population from 1,800 in 1973 to 3,167 in recent years, with India home of most of world's most charming Big Cat : The Tiger. The project's scope has now expanded significantly, with 53 reserves covering over 75,000 square kilometers today.
