    We've now completed three safaris through Kunal: Ranthambore, Jim Corbett, and Kaziranga. We are repeat customers for a reason! Kunal truly takes care of you. He is thoroughly transparent and very quick with communication. He also places you with excellent guides and lodges at every step of the journey.

    Great experience and really well organised! Kunal organised absolutely everything for our safari in Jim Corbett National Park and it went very smoothly. We had a really great time in Jim's Jungle Retreat and would definitely go back, organising through Travel With again.

    Travel With organized a fantastic trip for our family of four to Panna National Park and Khajuraho; everything was very smooth! The drivers were on time and courteous, and the Khajuraho guide was definitely a subject matter expert. He kept the whole family engaged from start to finish, and every detail was handled exactly as promised.

Things to know as you plan

Frequently asked questions.

  • Satpura is open from October through June. The canoe and boat safaris are best done early in the season, when the Denwa river has plenty of water after the monsoon. Jeep safaris are organised throughout the season. Winters are great for migratory birds and other fauna, whereas the summer months are dry and chances of spotting megafauna are higher.

    Satpura's variety of activities makes it rewarding across the whole season.

  • Satpura is one of the tiger reserves in India where you can do a canoe and a boat safari. In the past you could also walk in Satpura's core with a team from the forest department, but that experience has recently been stopped.

  • Satpura is an easy four-hour drive from Bhopal airport. We can arrange a pre-booked taxi, and can even include a guided tour of the Bhimbetka rock paintings en route.
