About The Tour
Lending its name from the Marathi local God Tadu and the glistening Andhari river flowing through the land, the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra stands hosting the largest number of mighty tigers in the country.
The Tadoba Andhari National Park features a tropical and dry deciduous topography with scrawny bamboo forests spawning over the landscape. The long and seemingly endless stretches of charcoal-tinted tar roads in Tadoba make for an excellent centre stage for the ferocious tigers to emerge and make their bold appearances. Tourists and photographers alike, flock to Tadoba to capture stellar frames that encapsulate the mesmerizing polarity of the golden hues of tigers and the pitch black tar roads.
To experience the mesmerizing beauty of Tadoba, one needs to cover all three zones that it is spread over Mohurli, Tadoba, and Kolsa. Safaris can access the Tadoba and Mohurli zones at once, however, you have to take a separate route, jeep, tickets and permits for Kolsa. While you are galavanting on your jeeps do not miss out on delegating some of your time on the buffer zones. Tadoba is one of the very few national parks in India where tiger sightings are abundant in the buffer zones with even a solid number of joyful cubs playing around. Devada, Agarzari, Junona, Sirkheda, Alizanza, and Belara are especially famous buffer zones for tiger sightings.
Tadoba does have the fastest-growing tiger population in India, but that’s not all that the national park has to offer. The four VIP attractions of Tadoba are leopards, sloth bears, dholes(wild dogs), and tigers. Sauntering along the beautiful Jamni lake or the Tadoba lake you can also spot a lot of herbivores including deer. Since 2019 Tadoba has been graced by the presence of a very special guest, the semimelanistic Black Panther. Bring out your lucky charms to your safari because spotting the panther in the core zone will require some luck on your side.
Taste the thrill of chasing the most coveted tiger frames in the world, visit Tadoba!

Why Us
Our tours are priced the way they are, for good reason.
-
Smart safari planning: We don’t just book safaris; we strategically choose the best zones, timings and conditions, tracking weather, light, fog, rain and seasonal forest moods to maximise meaningful sightings and storytelling frames.
-
Handpicked teams: We work with carefully selected guides and drivers (on choice) who understand wildlife behaviour and photography positioning. This coordination is what puts our jeeps in the right place, at the right moment.
-
Fewer people, more space: We limit safaris to just 3 to 4 guests per jeep, ensuring ample space for gear, comfort, and unobstructed shooting.
-
Early entry advantage: We aim to be among the first jeeps into the park because in the wild, timing changes everything.
-
Thoughtful stays: We choose well-located, premium lodges known for hygiene, service, food quality and proximity to safari gates so you rest well and stay focused.
-
Mentorship that matters: From live guidance during sightings to honest post-safari reviews, you’re constantly supported to make stronger images, not just more images.
-
Beyond photographs: You return with not just frames, but shared moments, stories, and memories that define the Savera experience.

FAQS
I’m a beginner. Will this be too advanced for me?
Not at all. In fact, beginners often benefit the most. The focus is on learning in the field, understanding light, behaviour and composition. You’ll receive guidance at every step, while also learning by observing how others approach the same scene.
I’m a photographer, but my companion isn’t. Can they join?
Yes,absolutely. Non photographers are welcome. The way we position the vehicle, choose zones and read wildlife behaviour ensures a rich experience for everyone in the jeep. Since all arrangements remain the same, the cost is uniform for both.
What kind of wildlife sightings can I expect?
Wildlife is unpredictable, and no sighting can ever be guaranteed. What we do ensure is the best possible opportunity through careful zone selection, experienced drivers and guides and being in the right place at the right time.
I don’t have professional camera gear. Can I still join?
Absolutely. You don’t need high end equipment to benefit from this tour. Any camera with a telephoto lens works well. If you need gear, we can assist with camera and lens rentals at competitive rates or have them arranged for you at the destination.
I’m a solo female traveller. Is it safe?
Yes. Safety and comfort are taken very seriously on all our tours. We regularly host solo female participants.
Why isn’t travel included in the tour cost?
Participants join from different cities and countries, so travel plans vary. To keep things flexible, travel is not included. However, we assist with airport or railway station transfers. These are usually shared among participants unless you prefer a private vehicle.
What is the group size?
We keep our groups small, usually 7 to a maximum 11 participants + Mentor to ensure better learning and a more personalised experience in the field.
How physically demanding is the tour?
Safaris involve early mornings, long drives and time spent in the field. While not physically strenuous, it does require patience and adaptability.
How are jeeps and seating managed?
Participants are rotated across jeeps (if multiple vehicles are used) to ensure everyone gets equal exposure to different drivers, guides and perspectives.
Are meals and dietary preferences taken care of?
Yes. Meals are included as per itinerary, and most dietary preferences can be accommodated with prior notice.
Do you assist international travellers?
Yes. We regularly host guests from across the world and assist with planning, internal travel guidance and on ground coordination. Kindly get in touch
Can the tour be customized if the dates don’t work for me?
Yes. Private Guided tours and Customised tours can be arranged based on your preferred dates, locations and level of guidance required. You can choose to travel with or without a dedicated photography mentor.
Who can join this photography tour?
Anyone with an interest in wildlife and photography is welcome. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, the tour is designed to help you see, understand and photograph wildlife better.
