Experience two exclusive jeep safaris in Panna National Park, beginning with an early morning drive through misty forest trails alive with birdsong. Traverse riverine habitats, teak forests, and rocky plateaus as you search for tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, and the endangered gharial along the Ken River. After lunch and a brief rest, set off again for an afternoon safari, when animals often become active near watering holes as the jungle cools. Return to your palace for a relaxed evening surrounded by heritage and comfort. Overnight stay at the Oberoi Rajgarh Palace.

Begin the day with a guided tour of the breathtaking Khajuraho Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its exquisite sculptures and architectural mastery.

Enjoy two signature jeep safaris in Bandhavgarh National Park, known for offering some of India’s finest tiger-spotting opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Alkof Holidays, we ensure smooth travel planning. Our FAQ covers everything from booking procedures and payment methods to travel itineraries, best times to visit, hotel upgrades, and more. For more assistance, contact us anytime.

The best time for a wildlife safari in India is from October to June, when most national parks are open and wildlife sightings are more frequent.

October to February brings pleasant weather, lush landscapes, and excellent birdwatching opportunities, making it perfect for comfortable safaris.

March to June is widely considered the prime wildlife season, especially for spotting tigers. As temperatures rise, animals gather around water sources, which greatly improves your chances of seeing them during game drives.

Most parks remain closed during the monsoon season (July to September) due to heavy rainfall.

The ratings are given in the context of the price we paid which was extremely reasonable for the attentive service we were given. We were looked after at all times including being dropped off onto our correct train carriage in Delhi. The itinerary was full but not rushed. I would use Alkof tours again and recommend them to others.

We had to alter our plans and extended the tour for 2 more days. From second day we started our sightseeing of Delhi, next day visited Agra, then Fatehpur Sikri and then Jaipur. The driver and the local guides were punctual, polite, and worked very hard to make our trip enjoyable. Sachin made sure we saw everything on our bucket list. I recommend Alkof Holidays, thank you so much.
