How to Book a Safari in Satpura

Booking a safari in Satpura is easy when the steps are followed in the right order.

Step 1: Choose Your Travel Date and Safari Type
First decide your travel dates and the safari experience you want — Jeep Safari, Boat Safari, or Walking Safari. In Satpura, each safari operates from specific zones and entry gates, so choosing the right option at the start is important. Eagle Safaris helps you select the best safari type based on season and wildlife movement.

Step 2: Get Your Safari Permit Confirmed
After finalizing the safari type, the next step is getting the forest permit. In popular areas like Madhai, permits are limited and often get booked early. Instead of checking availability after reaching, Eagle Safaris verifies permit slots in advance and confirms your safari booking before your trip.

Step 3: Jeep/Boat Arrangement with Guide
Once the permit is secured, the vehicle and guide must be arranged according to your safari type and entry gate. In Satpura, safari starting points are different, and last-minute vehicle arrangements can be difficult. Eagle Safaris organizes the jeep or boat along with trained drivers and local guides, so everything is ready on safari day.

Step 4: Receive Safari Details Before Arrival
Before your safari, you will receive complete information about reporting time, gate location, and required ID proof. Entry rules are strict, so having the correct details in advance ensures a smooth entry without delays.

Step 5: Enjoy Your Safari Experience
On the safari day, reach the gate on time with your ID and booking details. Your driver and guide will take you into the forest for a safe and exciting wildlife experience.

With Eagle Safaris, all these steps are handled in an organized way, so you can focus on enjoying Satpura’s peaceful jungle instead of worrying about arrangements.
