Got a weekend, or just a couple of days free? This short break gives you a real taste of Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve without taking leave for a week. You stay at a comfortable resort close to the forest, head out on a jeep safari with an experienced driver and guide, and still have time to slow down and enjoy the jungle around you.

Travel to and from Rewa or Jabalpur is on your own, but we’re happy to arrange a cab. If you’d like more time in the forest, we can add extra safaris or another night.

Places covered: Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve and the forests along the Son river.

Day by day itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Jungle Safari

Arrival: Make your way to Sanjay Dubri Tiger Reserve from Rewa or Jabalpur, or by road from Bandhavgarh. We can arrange a cab on request. Check in at your stay near the reserve after the drive through the Madhya Pradesh countryside.

Afternoon safari: Head into Sanjay Dubri for a jeep safari. This is one of the least crowded tiger reserves in India, so you’ll often have sightings to yourself. Drive through deep sal forest along the Son river and look for tigers, leopards, sloth bears and chinkara. Safari timings change with the season and are set by the Forest Department.

Evening: A quiet evening at your stay, with dinner and a bonfire in winter. The night sky here is remarkably clear. Overnight stay at the resort.

Day 2: Morning in the Wild and Departure

Early morning: Add a morning safari (extra, subject to permits) or enjoy a nature walk near your stay before breakfast.

Breakfast: Return for a relaxed breakfast and take in the forest views one last time.

Departure: Check out and head home. Combine with Bandhavgarh for a busy park and quiet park trip.

Safari timings, zones and the order of activities may change based on Forest Department rules and permit availability.
