Tiger Safari Bandhavgarh

What Tiger Safari Bandhavgarh does

Tiger Safari Bandhavgarh is a privately held, founder-operated wildlife tourism business headquartered in Tala village at Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India. The company is led by Teerathnath Singh, a native of Bandhavgarh with lifelong jungle experience, and a team of naturalists described as having over 20 years of field expertise. It sells tiger safaris and custom wildlife tour packages directly to consumers, primarily international wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and family groups from Europe and the United States.

Core products include guided jeep safaris, elephant safaris, full-day safaris, and online safari permit booking for Bandhavgarh and other Indian tiger reserves, alongside a portfolio of pre-planned package tours ranging from 2 to 26 nights. The portfolio also includes specialized Tiger Photography Tours led by international wildlife photographers, the 26-day Big Cat Tours India product spanning Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Tadoba, Nagarhole, Kaziranga, and Corbett, plus supporting hotel booking and transportation services. Technology footprint is limited to a content/SEO website, social media channels, WhatsApp, and email; no proprietary booking platform or software product is operated.

The revenue model combines professional-services fees on safari packages with affiliate/hotel referral commissions on accommodation bookings and transportation fees. Pricing is quote-based and customized rather than publicly disclosed, and GTM is direct-to-consumer via website inquiries, phone, and WhatsApp. The company maintains an operational relationship with the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department for permit access and special permissions for filmmakers and researchers, and claims over 25 years of operating history in Central Indian tiger reserves.
