  My husband and I have just returned from this amazing Alkof holiday private tour .Communication before and during the trip never faulted .Essential to have What’s app and e-sim but ant questions were answered within about 10 minutes . Internal flights information with boarding passes and driver at next destination were very clear .our focus was on wildlife but the accomodation throughout we were very happy with . We stayed Kavish Gir Lion resort in our spacious cottage room amoung a mango orchard .Near Khana and Bandavagarh NP our accomodation was with Aranyak . Throughout the trip we loved these spacious rooms and delicious Indian food . Very happy that most is vegetarian but there was always one meat option .- all buffet style . Our drivers were always friendly and we had some flexibility . Be prepared for lots of travel by road and flights …slowed down by cows or construction but all part of the memorable journey . We were pleased that we were at the NP gates early - usually 5:00 am waiting for the gates to open at 5:30 . Morning safaris were usually around 5 hrs but really the best time of the day in what was the hot dry weather ( 35 to 41 c ) just before monsoon time . We loved these spacious rooms heat and enjoyed our accomodation between safaris and a cup of chai tea - afternoon Safari usually from 3:30 pm . Throughout our tour we were always welcomed by our accomodation and local people sometimes wanting a chat Our trip began in Sanjay Ghandi NP - close to the city but with a fascinating history of Kanheri caves For wildlife / bird lovers we reaped the rewards for these early mornings Gir National Park - unbelievably dry with crisp leaf litter and parched trees then we were met with splashes of colour - peacocks ,indian rollers , pitta and black headed oriole . spotted chital dear at water holes , and crossing the road . After only an hour into the park our NP guide stopped near a troop of grey langurs sounding the alarm call and after 10 min a magestic tiger appeared and slowly crossed the road in front of our safari vehicle .What luck …a sight many people wait for years ! . We also spotted a leapard . Kanha NP - home the asiatic lion ..we were hopeful to see 1 but unbelievably our safari lion count was 26 Including cubs and some lions quite close . Here we also saw wild boar , a mongoose , Indian golden jackal and white thrashed kingfishers . Bandavgarh NP - more leafy .still very dry but there are patches of cooler Sal tree forests , open plain meadows and areas of rocky outcrops . Another 6 tigers seen - further away from our first sighting . More dears , including Samba, Indian Gaur bison by the roadside , beautiful jungle owlet , scop owls , crested serpent eagle and Malabar pied hornbill . Great views of red necked and white backed vultures . Alkof and India made our trip memorable . Highly recommend Alkof and we will definitely return to Indian with this very reliable country . Just a few tips ..westerners bring extra tissues / toilet paper with you . We were advised ahead correctly by Alkof that mobile phones are not allowed to be used in NP in India .We had no problem as both enjoy photography with decent cameras . Recommend you take binoculars and a camera , There are camera fees but we only were asked to pay this at Gir .Show more

  The tiger tour to Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench arranged with Alkof Holidays was a very good experience. I realy reccomand other tourists to make a trip with your company. The contact we had via whatsapp was always correct and with good information 🙏. I had an amazing time in India with a great tour in Delhi and memorable tigersafari’s in Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench 🐅🤩. Firoz is an excellent driver and a very caring man. Always on time, taking care of the safari’s and ready for having a chat 🥰. The hotels of Aranyak are a very good choice to stay at with a lot of comfort, excellent service and tasteful meals 👌.Show more
