It was our first trip to India and my husbands reservations were very quickly dispelled. Our time in New Delhi was excellent and well organised. Satpura Jungle Retreat and National Park was also excellent and a lovely place to stay, the staff were welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. The hot water bottles in the bed at night and in the jeeps along with the blankets on early morning game drives were much appreciated. The game drives were well organised and always very enjoyable. Even though we didn't see a tiger we saw a large variety of other wildlife including a wolf. The whole holiday was very enjoyable and we would like to visit India again.

Summary
The peaceful location for this holiday in India is the scenic Satpura National Park, a little-known Tiger Reserve in the remote uplands of central India. Satpura is a wildlife destination, more than any other in India, that allows an escape from the country’s more typical frenetic style. On this ‘Go Slow’ holiday we will be based for a whole week at Reni Pani, an especially comfortable wildlife lodge occupying a tranquil forest location close to Satpura National Park. The holiday includes one wildlife excursion each day; there is a wealth of mammal species to be seen inside the park such as Indian Giant Squirrel and Dhole (Asian Wild Dog), while special birds include Indian Skimmer and Bar-headed Goose.
