Check into your lodge, freshen up, and enjoy a relaxed lunch. After travel, it’s important to rest before heading into the forest.
If you’re staying near Navegaon Gate, your safari entry will be smooth and stress-free.
Late Afternoon – Evening Safari
Your adventure begins.
Evening safaris in Tadoba usually start around 2:30–3:00 PM, depending on the season. As temperatures drop, wildlife becomes more active.
What you may experience:
- Tigers visiting waterholes
- Herds of spotted deer grazing
- Wild dogs moving in packs
- Crocodiles resting near lakes

Even if you don’t spot a tiger, the forest’s atmosphere during evening safari feels cinematic and immersive.
Night – Relax & Reconnect
After returning from safari:
- Enjoy a warm dinner
- Share stories around a bonfire

- Listen to the sounds of the jungle
This is when Tadoba truly slows down. The forest feels alive yet peaceful.

Wake up before sunrise for your second safari — often the most rewarding.
Morning safaris are known for:
