Tiger Safaris
Nothing prepares you for seeing your first tiger in the wild. The world’s most iconic big cat is a mightily impressive sight, exuding power, guile and athleticism. An increase in tiger numbers means an even greater opportunity to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
India’s eagerly awaited tiger census results were published in July 2019 and, as anticipated, tiger numbers in India have increased by 33%, from 2,226 to 2,967 since the last census in 2014.
The history of tiger conservation in India is a complicated one. But this recent growth in population does not just offer some hope for the big cats in the area, but also endangered animals right across the planet. India, a country that is almost bursting at the seams with its human population, has managed to find a way to accommodate and protect tigers. What then, is possible in the rest of the world?

India Holidays
India is the best country in which to see wild tigers, however, with over 100 national parks across the country, it is imperative that you speak to our experts to get up to date advice on where tigers are most frequently being seen. Historically, the best places to see tigers have been Bandhavgarh National Park, Kanha and Ranthambore however Steppes’s clients visiting Pench National Park, Tadoba and Panna are also experiencing successful sightings.

All day permits
To avoid the crowds and access the parks at times when other visitors are back in their lodges, talk to our experts about purchasing an all-day VIP permit. Perfect for photographers wanting extended time with the park’s wildlife, full-day permits are available in Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Panna, Satpura and Tadoba. Permits are expensive but to have the park to yourself, without the distraction of other vehicles is worth every rupee spent.

My travels were first inspired by my love of the UK, which I take as much pleasure in exploring as countries far and wide. For me, travel is all about the adventure, the people I meet and the food I sample along the way.
