The Safari Sisterhood is real. If you find yourselves spending less alone time together than you would like because of increasing work and family pressure. Three days in the jungle is the perfect way to cram in some quality time, especially with someone else looking after you! No home stuff, no work crises, nothing to organise beyond the initial bookings.

Going on safari needs a little bit of planning as there is usually a rush to get entry permits for the forest. If you're planning a trip on short notice, it is best to visit a forest like the Satpura Tiger Reserve where there isn’t too much pressure on tiger tourism and jeeps are more readily available. What you see here is different from the other parks - leopards roam free in the undulating hills, bears sniff out the ever-present termites and wild dogs play unhindered.
