This was my second visit to these two national parks. Both with same hotels, same safaris. We started from Hyderabad early morning 6 PM and reached Nagpur by afternoon lunch. The roads to Nagpur is good except for a 10 kms stretch which will take you 1 hr and do some damage to your car. We started to pench national park first which takes you 4 hrs from Nagpur. The road is strictly avoidable , Please take another route. We stayed in MP tourism hotel which is very good. We booked in MP tourism counter in Hyderabad. We had next day morning safari booked, so we took rest in the night and started for safari. We were greeted by jackal on the way to Park Gate from our hotel, which followed with a group of jackals inside the park making huge calls which lasted for 20 minutes. we waited there to see if any tiger is coming but with no luck. However we spotted a leopard cub which crossed our jeep with in seconds and did not give us time to take picture. after safari we headed to kanha national park. We stayed in Bagira Log Huts which is inside the core area and a perfect location for wild life viewing. There were jackals, wild dogs, gaur, chitals around us all the time of our stay and we felt completely in the wild. we had 3 safaris booked 2 next day in kanha zone and one morning safari day after in kisli zone. Morning safari was boring with no activity at all, but evening safari was the best, we saw female tiger having bath in river 15 feet from us and walked in front of our jeep into other side of jungle. we saw tiger for atleast 30 minutes. but the best of the sightings is yet to come the next day in kisli zone. we saw Munna(huge male) , actually we followed her in reverse gear for a good 2 kilometers for 45 minutes. we saw it marking the trees.
