Wild Madhya Pradesh: The Satpura Safari Experience
The Royal Jungle Retreat is a five day immersion into the pristine wilderness of Satpura National Park, one of India's most rewarding tiger reserves. Nestled in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, Satpura is a landscape of dense sal forests, rocky ridges and river valleys where Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, wild elephants and hundreds of bird species roam free.
