Forests can be very thrilling given the unmatched variety of flora and fauna but the experience is completely based on how you want to pursue the safari. If you are in the national park just to see the big cat, you will miss small species and miracles of jungle, and most likely that will put pressure on your guide too. At the Satpura National Park, in Madhya Pradesh, enjoy nature’s bounty in its entirety.

The ideal way is to truly interpret the nuances of nature like trees, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, spiders, bugs and other insects, which helps you understand the significance of the entire ecosystem of forest and how everything is related. Other things at the park your guide can help identify are animal movements, tracks on ground, animal droppings, territory marking and landscape of the park. As it is haven for birds, the soundscape of the jungle is equally intriguing and tells you more about birds and animals and how they respond to certain situations.

Naturalists and safari guides share the best of knowledge they have so make sure you communicate what you are looking for and what interests you. This way you will have a better learning experience and a lot more memories to take home irrespective of the sighting of big cat or not.
