Amazing Safari Experience Krunal of Big Cats India organised our photographic safari trip to Tadoba and Pench Reserves. The accommodations were first class and the safaris blew our minds with more than 30 tigers and loads of other wildlife seen in 8 days. Krunal really went out of his way to make sure that we had a wonderful trip. We had never been to Tadoba or Pench and it was his advice and patient recommendations to my many questions that persuaded me to go with Big Cats India. He explained in detail how the safari systems in the different reserves worked and why he would recommend buffer zones above core zones in certain areas. All his suggestions paid off handsomely. Thank you Krunal!

They are the best! Amazing experience! Big Cats India helped me costumize and plan my trip exactly how I wanted. We got to see a mixture of historical sites and tiger safaris. The staff was more than helpful. Always available to our calls and concerns. They went above and beyond to meet our needs. They arranged excellent hotels, booked private drivers, and provided good guides for the sightseeing and tiger safaris. We could tell that the staff deeply cared about our vacation being as comfortable as possible. We would highly recommend you book with Big Cats India! To increase your chances of good tiger sightings I recommend booking at least 3 days of safaris in the core zones. They made our dream to see tigers come true!

High Service Levels and Superb Guiding. We booked a safari covering The Gir Forest, Tadoba, Pench and Kanha. The process was very easy and Big Cats was quick to respond. Throughout the trip they consistently checked how everything was going and made sure everything proceeded smoothly. However, where Big Cats exceeds expectations is the provision of superb drivers and guides. In Gir we saw 19 lions and 1 leopard, whilst in the 3 Tiger Reserves we saw 27 tigers, 2 leopards, 3 packs of Dhole, 3 Sloth Bears, numerous Golden Jackal as well as Barasinga, 4 horned antelope and other herbivores. We saw many birds - especially owls. I would unhesitatingly recommend them. In fact, I started planning the next safari with them. The key to their service is consistently high service levels, quality guiding and additional services (our driver was, again, exceptional).

Hello the world ! I greatly recommend the service of Big Cats india ! They organize for me the perfect trip ! They solve all my problem !! Indeed I had booked the wrong date for my flight but they succeed to save my trip and reschedule everything on a Saturday ! I can’t thank them enough ! Safari was all great with the right gate at the right moment and excellent driver ! Everything was managed for me ! I saw many tiger but more importantly was the quality of the seeing ! Indeed once you see a first tiger what you really want is special interaction not just see one in a bush…. You want to see the tiger with cubs, see the tiger hunting, see the tiger fighting, see the tiger drinking ! And thanks to them in 8 days and 3 parks I was able to see all of this ! It is a question of luck of course but you need perfect condition to try the luck and this is what Big Cats India provide to me ! The experience have nothing similar to other safari I have done in Africa ! It is very intense, tiger don’t stay for long and you run the jungle when one is seen! It is a true natural environnement nothing artificial you only see the tiger if they want you to ! And atmosphere is very intense when you see one ! Hotel were great, I choose not to be in luxury hotel to be near the local population and it was simple but perfect, very clean, air conditioning all working ! Food was perfect not to spicy for a foreigner and I was absolutely not sick ! I can’t recommend it more to you ! If you want to live this adventure book with them to have a trusted person and a trouble free trip !

Had such an amazing tiger safari tour with Big cats at Pench tiger safari. Had 6 tiger sightings, 1 leopard sighting and 100s more wildlife over our 4 day tour. Big cats couldn’t have been more helpful with the whole booking and right the way through they were always asking how it was all going and if they could do anything more for us. Will 100% be using them again.

(Spanish) La experiencia en nuestro viaje de observación de fauna con Big Cats India fue impresionante. Visitamos tres reservas, y tuvimos la suerte de observar una gran cantidad de tigres, además de leopardos, osos bezudos, cuones, y todo el resto de fauna con la que conviven. Aunque se trata de fauna salvaje y la suerte juega un papel importante para conseguir observarla, la elección de las zonas y puertas de entrada a las reservas por parte de Big Cats India fue estupenda y tuvo mucho que ver con nuestro éxito. Kunal siempre está disponible para solucionar cualquier contratiempo durante el viaje, además de mantener una conversación fluida y muy orientativa durante la organización y planificación del mismo. También nos ayudó mucho a la hora de solucionar nuestros desplazamientos antes y después de comenzar el tour, y nos aconsejó en otras cuestiones no relacionadas con este. Los alojamientos están perfectamente escogidos y nos sentimos muy cómodos en cada uno de ellos, y las comidas resultaron deliciosas, especialmente durante nuestra estancia en Gourissa Resort, un lugar de gran calidad. En todo momento nos acompañó un conductor, que nos trasladó el primer día desde nuestro hotel en Nagpur hasta nuestro primer alojamiento, y más tarde en todos los desplazamientos, tanto a las entradas de las reservas, como en los traslados entre estas y, finalmente, a la estación de tren desde la que saldríamos hacia Mumbai. !Recomendamos la experiencia sin dudarlo, porque ha superado nuestras expectativas y nos vamos muy satisfechos en todos los aspectos! ¡Kunal y Big Cats India son unos grandes profesionales!

magnificent safari tour/wonderful tour & safari I discovered Big Cats India via the internet, looking through various operators and having asked for some offers to go to national parks and possibly see and photograph tigers (mission accomplished, but it is never obvious to be able to spot tigers, guides and jeep drivers will do their best). I have always had answers, a great attention to costs and savings, feedback and information always timely and a flawless on-site follow-up with various people all reliable and kind. I had 13 safaris in the parks of Kaziranga, Kanha, Bandhavgarh, where I could admire nature, many animals and photograph unique and endangered species. Among the animals seen are: tigers, Indian unicorn rhinos, different types of deer (also Barasingha), eagles, vultures, owls, gray langurs, Indian sea jays, gaur, jackal, green parrots, ibis, lesser marabou, turtles, wild boar, elephants both wild and domesticated, herons, etc. Also a tour was organized between Delhi, Khajuraho, Orchha, Vrindavan, Agra. In every trip or activity something unexpected can happen (through no one's fault) and was immediately remedied without any negative consequences. Great organization and attention, on visits, parks, travel, attractions, choice of drivers, breaks-catering,... timely information even during the trip. It's a trip I'm extremely happy about, I could admire beauties everywhere and appreciate India and what it offers by nature, attractions, different cultures, new foods, smiling and kind people. I loved all this! A reliable company, Krunal has always been very attentive to everything. A BIG THANK YOU to Big Cats India, Krunal @atraveler-krunal and also to the collaborators. Highly recommended!!

We were a bit late with planning the safari trip and many good spots were fully booked, but Krunal was very helpful and creative in planning a trip that met our needs. The resorts where very comfortable and the food was tasty. Krunal was very responsive to our messages, even at late hours. We had an amazing experience at Tadoba National Park. In six safari's we saw many tigers and other amazing wildlife. Highly recommend Tadoba for anyone who wants to see tigers in their natural habitat.
