Pench National Park offers various safari options to help visitors experience its rich wildlife and beautiful landscapes up close. Each type of safari has its own unique way of exploring the park, giving you options based on your interests, comfort, and adventure level. Here’s a simple guide to the different types of safaris available in Pench.
Jeep Safari
Jeep safaris are the most popular way to explore Pench. In an open jeep, you get an up-close view of the forest and wildlife, with a good chance of spotting tigers, leopards, and other animals. Guided by an experienced driver and a naturalist, jeep safaris usually happen in the early morning or late afternoon when animals are most active.
Canter Safari
If you’re visiting in a larger group, the canter safari is a great choice. It’s an open vehicle that can accommodate more people than a jeep, making it a cost-effective option. Like the jeep safari, canter safaris also run in the morning and afternoon, giving you a chance to see a variety of animals and birds.
Walking Safari
For those who want a closer connection with nature, Pench also offers walking safaris in selected buffer zones. Accompanied by a guide, you can explore the park on foot, learning about smaller animals, plants, and the overall ecosystem. It’s a peaceful way to experience the forest, though big animal sightings are rare on walking safaris.
Night Safari
The night safari provides a unique experience of seeing Pench in the dark. In specific areas, you can spot nocturnal animals like owls, jackals, and sometimes leopards. This safari offers a different view of the forest but is only available in some buffer zones, not the core tiger zones.
Note: Whether you prefer a jeep, canter, walking, or night safari, each type offers a unique way to explore Pench’s beauty and wildlife. Choose the safari that matches your interest and comfort level, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of nature.
