Safari
The safari routine at the Baghvan Jungle Lodge begins with a morning game drive in a 3-tiered jeep. Wildlife in the reserve include spotted and sambhur deer, nilgai, predators including jackals and wild dogs, as well as rich birdlife. Most have high inspirations of seeing a tiger or a leopard in a world that is continuously reducing their living space. After meals and siesta in the camp, we return for afternoon game drive. Those who get lucky to see a tiger or a leopard, share stories around a campfire at dinner.
