The wildlife sightings exceeded all expectations.

Communication before and during the trip was excellent. Having WhatsApp and an eSIM was very helpful, and any questions we had were answered quickly. Internal flights, boarding passes, and transfers were all clearly organized. Our focus was wildlife, but we were also very happy with the accommodation throughout the trip. We stayed at Kavish Gir Lion Resort and Aranyak Resorts near Kanha and Bandhavgarh. The rooms were spacious, the food was excellent, and the staff were always welcoming. Be prepared for some long road journeys and flights, but they are all part of the adventure. We appreciated arriving at the national park gates early each morning, as the cooler hours provided the best wildlife viewing opportunities. The wildlife sightings exceeded all expectations. At Gir National Park, we saw an incredible 26 Asiatic lions, including cubs, along with jackals, mongoose, wild boar, and many beautiful bird species. At Bandhavgarh, we were fortunate to spot six tigers, as well as Indian gaur, owls, hornbills, eagles, and vultures. One of the most memorable moments was watching a magnificent tiger slowly cross the road directly in front of our safari vehicle. Alkof Holidays and India made this trip truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Alkof Holidays to wildlife lovers and would happily travel with them again. A few tips for future travelers: bring binoculars, a good camera, and some extra tissues or toilet paper. We were also advised that mobile phones are not permitted during safaris in India's national parks, which was not an issue for us as keen photographers. Read more

We travelled Southern India for 1 month

The best tour company in India!!!! We travelled northern India for 1 month in 20... The best tour company in India!!!! We travelled northern India for 1 month in 2024 and southern India for 1 month just a few weeks ago. On both trips Sanjeev has been unbelievably approachable, helpful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He is always available and ready to answer our questions and provide useful suggestions at virtually any time of the day or night (we are based in Australia). India is truly incredible and Sanjeev has enabled us to see so much - from spectacular national park safaries to tranquil tea plantations, busy cities to small villages, ancient temples to bustling beach markets. Sanjeev has recommended fabulous guides, drivers and accommodation. He has an enormous range of experience and an unbelievable network of the highest quality service providers and always found the best people to ensure our holidays were fun, informative, efficiently ran smoothly and efficiently and fitted our travel style. You won't find anyone as capable and trusted as Sanjeev so I highly recommend Alkof Holidays for an intrepid India experience. Read more
