Banjaar Tola
Activities Included In Your Stay
At Banjaar Tola Kanha Tented Camp it is our passion to share our knowledge and understanding of the Indian jungle and its inhabitants with our guests. Our highly trained naturalists will do their utmost to delight our guests with a choice of the following activities:
- Twice daily game drives - explore the sal and bamboo forests of Kanha National Park on early morning and afternoon game drives in an open 4x4 safari vehicle. One of our specially trained naturalists will accompany you throughout, pointing out and explaining details about the fascinating animals and plants of the jungle. Your early morning drive enters the park as the dawn is breaking over the jungle. Explore the meadows, or maidans, where scores of grazing herbivores attract tiger, leopard and wild dog to the edges of the clearings. On an afternoon drive, the wildlife is settling down for the night or having a final drink at the Banjaar River or the many perennial streams that run through the park. Watch out for the elusive leopard and listen to the calling of jackal getting ready for the hunt.
- Guided nature walks - In the quiet midday hours between game drives explore the forest surrounding Banjaar Tola in the company of your naturalist. Learn about the jungle vegetation from your naturalist and keep an eye out for fascinating insects. Watch colourful birds and butterflies flutter by and try to identify them from your Star Birds list.
- Tiger viewing from elephant back - This activity is dependent on the National Park by which it is run and generally only takes place in the early mornings. If news comes in of a tiger sighting, you will be driven to the nearest access area, where you will climb on the back of an elephant and slowly move towards the tiger. After a photo session, the elephant will take you back to your waiting vehicle.
