Panna National Park & Tiger Reserve — Nature’s Revival in Central India

At a Glance

Panna is more than just a forest — it’s an ecosystem in revival. Alongside iconic tigers, you’ll walk into territories of leopards, sloth bears, wolves, hyenas, deer species, and a dazzling cast of over 200 bird species. Each safari here is an invitation to witness nature’s balance rediscovered.

Vegetation

The terrain is a patchwork of dry deciduous forests, rugged plateaus, ravines, and river corridors formed by the Ken River. The forest floor alternates between open grassy patches and dense thickets, giving both hidden nooks for predators and open areas for spotting.

166 Years of Peace

One remarkable tradition here is how the local Rabari community treats leopards. Even if a leopard kills one of their livestock, they do not retaliate. Because of this peaceful approach, there has been no human-leopard conflict in this region run by the community for 166 years.

Types of Safaris & Wildlife Tours

  • Jeep Safari: The primary way to explore forest trails during dawn and dusk, when animal movement is high.

  • Boat Safari on Ken River: A serene route along water bodies, ideal for spotting animals drinking at banks or crocodiles/gharial in water.

  • Night / Evening Safaris: Under careful supervision, these offer glimpses of nocturnal critters.

Guided by experienced naturalists, every drive aims to balance thrill and safety.
