Kanha park is divided in 8 zones. There are 4 core zones and 4 buffer zones. The animals are spotted more in core zones. Buffer zones have lots of trees but less of animals. You need to book online tickets for entry in these zones. The online booking starts 4 months in advance and the core zones tickets are sold within a week. If you miss those tickets then you can book mukki buffer zone. Other buffer zones are of no use. The jeeps come to your resort to pick u. Strictly only 6 are allowed in the jeep. The seventh person if sitting in the jeep is not allowed. For morning safaris if you don’t enter the zone before 7.30, your booking is cancelled. There is a canter service (18 in a vehicle) of forest department, tickets of which are available the previous day but you have to stand in queue for atleast 3 hours. Few tickets of safari are now available in Tatkal 1 day in advance.

I was visiting a forest after quite a long period and I did not expect the whole experience to be so memorable. Kudos to forest department for conducting these trips with so much of precision and perfection. The drivers and the guides are well versed, very alert and sharp.
Safaris are divided into morning and evening slots . All the paperwork is thoroughly checked. With crisp and sharp instructions after the introduction the vehicles are let in the park from Mukki Gate. There are various routes inside the park and it's left to the wisdom of the guide as to which path is to be followed. The landscape changes in each track and with each season and time of the day. It is almost magical.
We saw a tigress T 27 on the first day of the safari which people say is quite a deal. We saw a leopard too which is quite rare besides a variety of flora and fauna. The sound of the jungle is at times lost due to constant commentaries or by the clicks of the camera. I guess both are essential but too much soap opera kind of hilarious stories are created around the love lives of the tigers. It is just used to hype or build up the interest.
Park has clean rest rooms at demarcated places. At a fixed spot meals could be had . Surprisingly though the number of staff was less but every place was spic and span . I came back totally impressed and ready to explore some more of the parks .

After two failed visits (Jan 19 & Feb 20) at last I saw tigers at Kanha Nation Park and Tiger Reserve. This time I went with my elder Sister and luck favored me. We did 5 Safari and on each visit to Park we saw Tiger. On 3 occasions the tiger encounter was on close proximity, and 2 occasions the tigers were bit far away.

The climate during April is very hot and dry, despite the difficult climatic condition we enjoyed our safari as we ware able to see the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger.

This time our Jeep driver was Naresh Yadav (+91 94073 19311) an excellent safari jeep driver and tracker. On 3 occasions he was at right place at right time which help us to see tiger at close proximity. He understands photographer needs and was able to place our jeep in right position which enabled me to take some great pictures.

I would also like to thank Shyam Yadav (+91 6263 823020) for excellent co-ordination in arranging the safari and car for our transfer. Thanks to Sunil Yadav (+91 94249 31455) for overall co-ordinations.

It's a gorgeous park. Totally worth the effort of getting there. Try and avoid getting into the rut of only looking to see tigers and spend time in the quieter parts away from the tiger jamborees. I would also recommend you try and read a little about the birds and animals you would find in Central India. Gives you a deeper appreciation of the park. When we were there last week, it got very cold though in the mornings (0 - 2 degrees celsius) and in the evenings (7-8 degrees) so just ensure you come ready with gloves, scarves, thermals, etc.

This is a beautifully managed park. Everyone from forsest officers to the private safari guides are so mindful and respectful of the forest and the animals. I am looking forward to go visit this park again! If you are thinking about which gate to stay at, stay at Mukki and make visit to both Mukki/Kanha zones. It is the most efficient way of visiting the park if seeing tiger is ur main goal.

This is a large national park with a great variety of birds and animals.
Most people come here to get a tiger sighting but there’s so much more to see.
We were fortunate enough to see a tiger and a leopard but we also saw four different types of deer, antelopes, jackals, peacocks, turtles, a baby python, monkeys and so many different types of birds. It was truly wonderful seeing all this wildlife around us.
Our driver Naren Malik was excellent and our guide Sukhram was very knowledgeable. They were a great team.
We really enjoyed our safaris at this park.
Very fond memories of bombing round whenever anyone thought there would be a tiger sighting.
I’d definitely recommend this park to others.
We had a great time here.

Kanha was a lovely park and very well maintained and managed. The scenery alone is stunning and surprisingly varied with lots of different species readily visible.
They limit the number of jeeps per day and also manage which areas they travel through within the park to keep impact to a minimum. Tracks were well maintained and each jeep has a park ranger who jumps in just before you enter - presumably to ensure the group follow the rules and they also sometimes offer information on the wildlife you see and advise the drivers where to go.
Wildlife is plentiful although it is wild-life so you may or may not see all you want to. We did manage to see several tigers over our visits and the jeeps were very respectful - the animals came first and they backed off if an animal approached which we thought was great compared to some other parts of the world where we have been out on game drives.
Definitely worth the trip.

Dear Ghanshyam Ji

I felt compelled to write to you regarding the tour, words are not enough to say how much we’ve enjoyed your company . I personally appreciate your generosity & such excellent treatment during our visit to Singhinawa.

We were all awestruck by the serene ,beautiful lush green reason at Singhinawa surrounded by tall teak and Sal trees .The glorious surrounding and the exuberant ambience of the Kanha national park is just incredible.
The place offers a quiet (away from hustle bustle) Your place is so good so as the staff they were humble, went an extra mile to meet our needs. Rooms were clean & well furnished. We groove over everything that was served, from Garlic Cheese Nan to the yum Grilled Chicken.

And, of course the safari, spotting wild animals is always a matter of luck, but the juncture we've spotted MP3 (Female Tigris) she just left astonished, she has a unique blend of power. All credit goes to Ghanshyam ji who guided us very appropriately.

Last but not the least, stargazing with Pranab Ji the first “wow” moment of stargazing adventure took place before I had even looked through a telescope. I spotted a bright pinprick of light, ”Which star is that?” I asked , He looked over his shoulder, he said. “It’s Jupiter.” That moment was breath taking for all four of us standing over there.

I would definitely recommend this place to all. It’s a true sample of excellent hospitality
Thank you again for going just that little step extra for us.

Of all the forests that I have visited till now,I find Kanha to be the most beautiful of them all. The scenes in this jungle are just too alluring and spectacular. There's a wide variety for bird lovers and of course lots of animals too including the barasingha. We have been lucky always here. This was my third trip and this jungle has never disappointed. Tigers, leopards,barasinghas,the other antelopes and lots more.

Went to Kanha NP last year during Diwali. Owing to holidays, could manage only 1 gypsy safari & 1 canter safari in Mukki zone during my two day stay there.
For Gypsy safari, started very early in the morning and was the gypsy at the gate. Somewhere I read the best guides are allotted to the first few cars, hence didn't want to take a chance since guide/drivers can make your or break your safari. But unfortunately the guide didn't arrive at the last moment and we were allotted another guide (might be a reserve one). As it turned out, he was not enthusiastic about spotting animals and somehow just wanted to pass time. We could not spot almost any animal except spotted deers and langurs.
In the afternoon canter safari, things were a bit better. Spotted few barasinghas and bisons. At one point we could also hear roar of a tiger and waited for about half an hour, but it didn't come out. Landscape wise, I would say it wouldn't compare with Dhikala at Corbett at all. A bit disappointing over all, guess my expectations were too high to start with.
