At Forsyth Lodge, we aim to allow you to indulge in specially curated activities even beyond the wilderness to help you connect with your
surroundings and ultimately with yourself.
Jeep Safari (Core and Buffer)
Core Jeep Safari - The classic jeep safari through Satpura's core zone offers an authentic experience of the park’s dense teak forests, rugged hillscapes, and open meadows. With only a limited number of vehicles allowed inside at any given time, the safari remains quiet and personal. Expect to encounter sloth bears, leopards, gaur, wild dogs, and if you’re lucky, the elusive tiger. Morning safaris begin at sunrise and last up to 4-5 hours, with a memorable jungle breakfast en route. The afternoon drive offers a different charm, stretching from 2:30 PM into twilight.
Buffer Zone Safaris (Parsapani / Jamani Dev ) - These safaris take place on the periphery of the park, where wildlife movement is still high and the terrain is equally rich. The buffer zones allow for more relaxed wildlife watching and immersive exploration, often bringing you up close to herds of deer, wild boar, and an astonishing array of birdlife. Night safaris in these zones offer a glimpse into the jungle’s nocturnal world—an experience filled with the sounds of owls, civets, and perhaps a silent predator on the prowl.
