Testimonials

So where do I begin, I was on the all boys Tadoba national park trip in April 2016 and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life. I have always been a wildlife enthusiast right since my childhood. So when I go for a trip such as this and spot tigers in their element ON EACH OF MY DRIVES, it doesent get any better. Most people would attribute this to sheer luck, but for me its all down to Manan and the Jungle Calling team. My trip was so succesful because all the arrangements were made well in advance and the preparations were extremely thorough. It usually is the small things that mattered which ensured we had so many sightings. For one Manan choose a hotel strategically located only 300 metres from the closest gate (Navegaon gate) close to where the tigress Maya and her cubs reside. Secondly ensuring we had top notch guides and not just anyone, our guide ensured we got one sighting at a certain spot and location based on his knowledge and intution (again some might consider it luck I dont). Apart from such details our hotel was splendid and homely, and all arrangements were made so well we never felt uncomfortable. In the end when it comes to trips like these, one needs the right sources and has to research properly to ensure we have succesful game drives, here’s where Manan and Jungle Calling trump all else. Right from start to end you can close your eyes and just let them get everything done, and you will be assured of an amazing experience. I returned with a story to tell, and one thing this trip made me realize is in the future ill have many more stories to tell because I am going to keep visiting national parks atleast once a year from hereon. All of this was thanks to Jungle Calling.

Jungle Calling you beauty! especially Manan, he is extremely helpful and very enthusiastic. I heard about jungle calling through my childhood friend Hriday Choksey who visited Tadoba not too long ago and his experience is perfectly summed in his review below, and told me to get my trip planned with Manan. I got in touch with him for a trip to Pench National Park, Madhya Pradesh(my second visit, but first through jungle calling) and within minutes of my first interaction he had an entire itinerary planned out for us which was remarkable. He and his team organised every single detail for us without even having to do anything.Being a wildlife lover, especially the Tiger, i know from past experience that spotting one is not all luck but more about patience and having the right people on the ground to search strategically. We had the best guide and naturalist all thanks to Manan and his team. We spotted a female tiger, a mother of four for a good 30min going through her motions from sitting behind a tree to chilling in the water hole. All through the trip Manan was in more contact with us than our parents! And mind you he himself was in Ranthambore, that explains enough about his involvement with clients. To conclude all i can say is great job and keep it up! I’m certain to plan my future wildlife trips with you guys and urge you all to do the same.

29/07/2016 Tadoba tiger reserve. One of the most memorable wildlife trips I’ve been for. I was’nt aware the forest was open for tourism in the monsoons. Great for photography as very few tourists visiting this time of the year. Good choice of resort in terms of location, hospitality and zeal for wildlife. Highlight of the trip was Manan’s passion and enthusiasm which was rejuvenating to say the least and got me in touch with who I was when I first started visiting the forest. Thanks a lot Manan. Looking forward to many more trips.

Hi Manan.. Back home after a wonderful trip to Tadoba, even at this late hour, i cannot help but write you this short note. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip – the first ever safari for my wife and me.. We were thrilled to see the wide range of jungle life – tiger, bear, deer, jungle dog, crocodile and large number of birds whose names i dont remember :):).. You and your team took excellent care of us in terms of accommodation, food, information about the animals and jungle life – in fact, the whole jing bang !! Looking forward to more trips with you, specially the trip to Africa you have promised to arrange for me in Summer 2017.. God bless… Best wishes, Pankaj N. Sampat
