India's rich tropical forests have over 1200 species of birds and 350 mammals, preserved in different regions of the country within 59 National Parks and 372 sanctuaries. The exotic areas are Ranthambhore (Rajasthan), Corbett (Uttar Pradesh), Gir (Gujarat), Kanha and Bandhavgarh (Madhya Pradesh), Periyar (Kerala) and Kaziranga (Assam).

Walking softly, this tiger may be just curious about something new on the edge of the woods or it may be stalking its prey. His target may be some distance away in the sparse undergrowth. As dusk deepens, he moves out of concealment to the edge of the lake. Here the last golden glow of the sky is reflected. Perhaps the deer are on the other shore. The Tiger is on the prowl.

Corbett is India's oldest park established in 1936 and named after the legendary hunter-naturalist and one of India's first conservationist, Jim Corbett. Unlike Africa, the forest is thicker and game more spread out, thus animals must be searched for, as if one is on a hunting safari.

Enjoy the excitement of the roar of `Shere Khan’, the tiger, the danger calls of monkeys, in the vicinity of `Haathi’, the Elephant.

Set against the back drop of the Ranthambhore Fort, in Rajasthan, the 400 sq km Sawai Madhopur reserve is amongst the 11 Tiger Reserves of the country and is a naturalist's delight.

Kanha, is located in a horseshoe valley with two distinctive hills on either side, deep in central Madhya Pradesh. Living in the park are Tigers and Leopards along with sambar deer, blue bull, antelope, barking deer, and others. Safaris can also visit the nearby Bandhavgarh National Park, where one travels on elephant-back and jeeps continuing the search for tiger and its prey.

In South India, in Periyar and Nagarhole, wild life is viewed by boat and the animals inhabiting this area include elephants, deer, tiger, panther, leopard, bison, monkeys, and the malabar squirrel.The other game parks worth visiting are Bandipur, Muddumalai.

The Ibex Expeditions wild life safaris have seasoned Naturalists taking you to special spots in Game parks. You stay in old hunting lodges or eco friendly resorts. Days are spent with early morning and late afternoon game park rides that are on jeeps or elephant back and occasionally, on a boat.

On many game parks, Ibex links in with NGO’s like the Ranthambhore Foundation and the Corbett Foundation to support their cause of rehabilitating the local inhabitants to boost their alternative sources of income by purchasing their handicrafts, paintings, and occasional donations, thus offering a reason not to poach but protect our wild life in the true principles of Wildlife eco tourism.
