Elephant Treks
Elephant are used every morning by the forest department for tiger - tracking. if a tiger is found then the elephant will take you directly to the tiger from a near by reached by jeep/car. a forest department guide must always accompany you with a naturalist from our side optional. this guide/naturalist will be able to direct you and point out wildlife.
Jeep safari
The jeeps all head to the main gate before it opens to collect a guide who joins the jeep for the safari and you then head off into the jungle. visitors to bandhavgarh are allowed into the park twice each day for 3-hour jeep safaris, once at dawn, and again in late afternoon. these are times when animal activity is most visible. the commonly used safari vehicles are open 4wd gypsy's. the jeeps stick to well worn tracks but the park covers a large area and you'll often end up on your own. most of the wildlife is seen from the jeeps, but the star attraction - the tigers - are tracked each morning by elephant. if they are found the jeeps dash towards them. if they are visible from the track the jeeps bustle around trying to get the best view or, alternatively, your driver enters you in a queue for an elephant ride to see the tigers in the bush. the safari lasts about 3 hours before the park closes at lunch time. there is a second slightly shorter safari in the afternoon which lasts until dusk. you cannot travel in the park without a jeep and a guide.
