Tadoba Forest Safari & The Wild Beyond

Follow the rhythm of Tadoba, from early safari drives and forest walks to village experiences and slow afternoons.

A Day at The Garud Forest

From the Gate to the Table

Tadoba offers far more than a safari through the forest. Discover its rich flora and fauna, diverse habitats, and remarkable biodiversity through nature trails, birdwatching, village walks, waterfalls, farms, and quiet moments outdoors. With Navegaon Safari Gate closest to us and several routes within reach, experience Tadoba through its wilderness, local life, and thoughtful eco-tourism experiences.

Navegaon and Beyond

If a safari is at the heart of your Tadoba escape, our location puts you close to some of the region’s most rewarding wildlife experiences. Navegaon Safari Gate is the nearest gate to the resort, with access to the Navegaon core zone for safaris into the reserve.

For another way to explore the landscape, Shedegaon Gate offers a territorial safari experience connected to the Navegaon area. It is open to tourists and managed by the local Eco-Development Committee under the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR). Safari arrangements here are handled completely offline.
