THE ART OF GAME VIEWING

We design intimate safaris for true wildlife aficionados who share the passion for great sightings and want to experience the thrill of exceptional wildlife encounters.

Our presence on the ground in India along with the collective time spent on the field by our guides allows us to track and foresee wildlife movements. All our guides are trained to anticipate wildlife movements so they can procure amazing game viewing without disturbing the natural order.

Whether you are looking for high levels of privacy, unique photographic opportunities or to focus exclusively on big cats sightings or bird watching, among others, we take care of all the logistics end to end with careful planning and attention to detail, and allocate our guides to meet your specific needs.

The origins of this fort are lost in the mists of time. However, it is thought to be at least 2000 years old. The fort is surrounded by 32 smaller flat-topped hills forming a maze of well forested valleys, spurs and flatlands.
This area was the private game reserve of the Maharajas of Rewa, in fact Mohan, the ancestor of most captive white tigers, was captured from these forests by the Maharaja of Rewa. After independence, due to relaxed control, the forests of this region started deteriorating rapidly. To stop this process and preserve the forests, an area of 105 sq. km. was declared a National Park in 1965. The area of the park was increased to 448.84 sq. km. in 1982. In 1993 it was included in the Project Tiger Network.
