Located in the lush green district of Maharashtra, Avani Tiger Resort brings out the best of the explorer inside of you in India. Nestled in the verdant beauty of the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, the opulent wildlife resort is an ideal home away from home for travelers interested in spotting some of the rarest animals in India.
Head on to this reserve and witness the great animals that make every sighting of the wild memorable.
1. Royal Bengal Tiger or Panthera Tigris
The main attraction of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve is the Bengal tiger. This animal, which is a predator, has an orange-shinning coat of fur with black stripes all over its body and is always a colourful sight on any safari. The glamour of tracking with a nine-ounce camera for Bengal tigers inside the jungle or resting nearby a water source is what makes the wild, wild.
2. Indian leopard (Panthera pardus fusca).
The Indian leopard is a nocturnal animal and is not easy to sight; the spots of the leopard’s fur seen in the cover of the trees conform with the pattern of the light seen in Tadoba forest. Not easily seen, this solitary pet is more of a night or late morning/early evening trigger, with the best sightings in the early evening.
3. Indian Wild Dog (Cuon alpinus)
Indian wild dog, or dhol, is one of the least-encountered animals in Tadoba’s jungles. These anthropoid mammals are famed for their group living and singing together in the night to make a bone-chilling sound. Observing the dynamic activity level among pack assemblies enhances the sociocultural purpose of the safari.
4. Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus)
Sloth bears, a type native to the Indian subcontinent, are typically seen hunting insects within the forested areas of this country. Thanks to their thick fur and rather bulky physiques, they bear a striking resemblance to a bear. Sighting these night dwellers is one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever get while at a savannah.
5. Indian Python (Python molurus)
The Indian python, a large-threat constrictor, turns any wildlife meeting into an interesting event. Some of these snakes are non-venomous, and these giants are commonly seen rolled up in the undergrowth or warming up in the hot sand. They are also very large and very sneaky, both of which make them a wonderful and challenging subject to photograph in the wild.
6. Indian Bison (Bos gaurus)
In Tadoba, people also call it gaur, which is a large bovine and a herbivorous mammal inhabiting the grasslands and the forested regions. These bovines are fairly massive and well muscled, and a sight to be seen, more so in the morning or in the evening and early part of the night when they are more on the move.
7. Chital (Axis axis)
Chital or spotted deer are fairly easy to spot, and they are one of the most seen animals in Tadoba. They have beautiful spotted fur, and they are really active; for this reason, visitors love them. Grazing these deer in groups also gives a splendid look at the forest ecosystem of India.
8. Great Hornbill (Buceros bicornis)
The great hornbill, apart from being quite large in size, is an attractive bird with yellow and black feathers and a large curved bill. Normally, they are observed flying at mid- or high-canopy level or sitting, sometimes concealed in the branches. This stunning bird is cheerful to have around during your safari.
