Nagzira
Extension Tour
Few tourists reach Nagzira. This quiet Maharashtra reserve offers Tigers, Leopards, and dense forest wildlife across three unhurried days of morning and evening safaris.
Tour Overview
Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary sits in the Gondia district of Maharashtra, around 150 kilometres from Nagpur. This 4-day extension gives you three full days of safaris inside one of Maharashtra's least visited and most rewarding forest reserves.
Nagzira is a small and quiet sanctuary. It sees very few vehicles compared to Tadoba, giving each safari an unhurried and immersive quality. The forest is dense mixed deciduous, with teak, bamboo, and open grassland patches running through the core zone. A large lake at the centre of the sanctuary draws wildlife consistently across all seasons.
Tigers, Leopards, Sloth Bears, Wild Dogs, Gaur, and Sambar move through Nagzira's forests. The birdlife is strong and largely undisturbed. Nagzira works well as an extension from Nagpur before or after a longer Central India wildlife circuit.

Day 1
Drive Nagpur to Nagzira, Evening Safari
You drive from Nagpur to Nagzira, around 150 kilometres through the Maharashtra countryside. You check in on arrival and head out for an evening safari. The mixed deciduous forest is active at this hour and the central lake area draws good wildlife movement as the light drops.
Day 2
Morning and Evening Safaris at Nagzira
A full day of safaris inside Nagzira. The morning drive covers the core forest zones where Tigers and Leopards move through the teak and bamboo. Sloth Bears, Wild Dogs, and Gaur appear regularly across different areas of the sanctuary. The central lake pulls in waterbirds and mammals through the day. The evening safari picks up fresh movement as the forest cools and animals come to drink.
Day 3
Morning and Evening Safaris in a Different Zone
A third day of safaris covering new areas inside Nagzira. The sanctuary rewards multiple days with varied terrain and consistent wildlife movement. Birdlife is strong across the forest edges and grassland patches. Tigers and Leopards move through the bamboo and teak at dawn, and the quiet conditions make for focused and unhurried sightings.
Day 4
Morning Safari, Drive Back to Nagpur
One final morning safari before checkout. The forest is at its quietest at this hour and wildlife movement around the central lake is strong. You drive back to Nagpur after the safari.
