Tiger country
There are plenty of tiger habitats in India, with the number of national reserves about to reach 50. To really have a good chance of seeing them, however, you need to spend several days in tiger habitats such as Ranthambore or Bandhavgarh National Parks, or you can also spend time at the only private tiger reserve in the country – Jalore Wildlife Sanctuary in Rajasthan. Ideally you will be staying in a local lodge or homestay, so that you can head off early and avoid the day trippers. Alternatively, you can camp on the edge of Corbett National Park or in Kanha Tiger Reserve.Transport on safari
Taking your cubs
As if seeing a tiger in the wild isn’t emotional enough, spotting one with your children is something that goes way beyond words. Devastatingly, they may be the last generation to see tigers in the wild, so it is vital to educate these budding young conservationists, so do go on a safari that has a naturalist guide. Most tiger reserves don’t allow children under five, so wait until they are old enough to appreciate this extraordinary experience and don’t go when it is too hot. Staying locally in a homestay will be the icing on the cake for adventurous families. Or check out the camping facilities in Kanha Tiger Reserve, which is run by a family with children, so they fully embrace the cub ethos.For more details on tiger watching vacations, the issues and opportunities, see our tiger safaris travel guide.

Tiger safari tips
“The best parks for seeing tigers are Ranthambore, Karna, Bandhavgarh and Tadoba. For tiger safaris, it is important to give yourself more time in one or two places than just a tour that ticks off four or five reserves, because there are big distances between them. Also, be prepared for appalling bureaucracy in the parks. You just have to be patient. Most importantly, it’s about moments. It might just be one moment as a tiger walks through a beam of light and then looks straight through you. It’s not just about chalking off six of them.”
“We have the only privately owned wildlife sanctuary in India as all the other sanctuaries were nationalised. We also offer, unusually, walking safaris as well as night safaris, so it is similar to safaris in Africa. You can see the animals up close on foot during the morning, and then at night by jeep. We have the highest number of Asian wild cats in the country, as we have brought back the numbers ourselves, so we are proud of that.”
“India is about the only place in the world where you are likely to see tigers in the wild, and only in a few tiger reserves where these secretive big cats are now fairly used to tourists in vehicles. Some of the tigers have become surprisingly bold and these reserves are now popular destinations for huge numbers of tourists both from within India and abroad. Despite this, you must always remember that these are wild predators and that it is an extraordinary privilege to see these glorious and extremely rare big cats in the wild. Allow at least three or four days to increase your chances.”
