Satpura National Park is one of India’s most unique and pristine wildlife sanctuaries — a vast landscape of sal forests, bamboo groves, rocky hills, and meandering rivers spread across the Satpura Range of Madhya Pradesh. Unlike most Indian national parks, Satpura offers a rare and exhilarating variety of safari experiences including jeep safaris, boat safaris on the Denwa River, walking safaris, and canoeing — making it one of the most diverse and immersive wildlife destinations in the country.
The park is home to Bengal Tigers, leopards, sloth bears, Indian bison (gaur), wild dogs, sambar deer, and over 300 species of birds including the magnificent Indian Pitta and crested serpent eagle. Gourissa Resort’s prime location right next to the Madhai Gate ensures guests have the fastest and most convenient access to the park for both morning and evening safaris. The resort’s experienced guides and naturalists accompany every game drive, bringing the forest to life with their expert knowledge and passion for wildlife.
