BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

Madhya Pradesh was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Recommended.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Madhya Pradesh was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Worth every rupee.

Madhya Pradesh was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.

Questions people ask

Over five drives at Bandhavgarh, most groups do — it has among the highest densities anywhere. It is still wild and nobody guarantees it. More drives is the only honest lever, which is why this trip has five.
