Wildlife of Tadoba

More than the tiger

Tadoba is celebrated for Bengal tigers, but a safari can also reveal leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs (dholes), gaur, sambar, chital, langurs and a wide range of birds. Encounters depend on season, weather, animal movements and chance.

Reading the forest

Naturalists often watch for tracks, alarm calls and changes in animal behaviour. A quiet waterhole or a distant bird call can be as revealing as a dramatic predator sighting.

Wildlife beyond predators

Deer and other herbivores are an essential part of the forest ecosystem.

Responsible wildlife photography

Use quiet camera settings, avoid flash where it disturbs wildlife and never ask a driver to block an animal’s route.
