Boat Safari

Introduction

Satpura national park is very popular for its safari activities. Usually at any other tiger reserve, we have very limited safari activity options like nature walk and jeep safari. When tour duration is more, at one point of time, tourists often feel fedup of doing same thing repeatedly on daily basis. Thus Satpura national park visit offers many safari activities for visitors which includes jeep safari, walking safari, night safari and boat safari. Here we will share more information on boat safari in Satpura national park.

What to see

Boating safari is rarely offered to visitors at tiger reserve area. In Madhya Pradesh, we can enjoy boat safari experience at Panna national park and Satpura national park only. At Panna national park, it is mostly offered in outside safari area but in Satpura national park, we can do safari in core zone area thus it is very special attraction. During boat safari, we can have good sighting of many birds on various islands. This offers some great opportunity for birds photography. In addition to this, crocodile sighting is also almost confirm. We can find them resting on the back-water bank area. We can photograph them from a distance. Moving close to them will make them disappear into the water. In addition to all this, many times tourists have seen other mammal species like Sambar deer, spotted deer, Indian Gaur and Tiger doing swimming on backwater. Must go with good binocular and camera to better encash the boat safari experience.

Boat safari duration

In normal conditions, boat safari is offered on per hour basis. Usually it is offered for one hour duration only. Here boat count is limited thus when crowd increases, Madhai gate counter will offer safari for one hour only. When visitor pressure reduces, they may allow us to book boat for more than one hour thus tourists can explore more, photograph more and enjoy more on backwater. We can apply for 2 hrs boat ride also. In normal season, such permission is granted.

How to book

During safari tour of Satpura nationa park, we mostly book boat safari booking for our guest. We recommend our guests to do at least one round of boat safari to see the wildlife through a speed boat and try to see how is the forest in river bank area. For bird watching tours, it is highly recommended. We do the safari booking for our guests. Remenber boat safari can be booked on same day thus no advance booking. For boat safari booking, one should must reach Madhai gate ticket counter, with all preparations. If you are photographer, must carry a towel or cloth to protect your camera, binocular etc from water droplets which come on us during speed boat ride.
