About Panna Wild Tour

We are a local team operating from the Madla gate belt of Panna Tiger Reserve — guides, drivers and trip planners who grew up with these forests, and who have watched Panna’s tigers come back from the brink.

Our story

Panna’s tigers were declared locally extinct in 2009. The translocation programme that followed — bringing tigers from Ranthambore — became one of India’s most-watched conservation stories. We grew up alongside that comeback: first as guides, then as a full-service safari team. Today we run permits, gypsies, stays and tours for guests from across India and the world, with one rule that never changes — the forest’s welfare comes first.

Why travellers choose us

  • Local and licensed — stationed at Madla, plugged into the daily gate picture.
  • Transparent quotes — every fee itemised, forest charges at actual rates.
  • Conservation-first — we turn down anything that breaks forest rules, full stop.
  • Hands-on support — one person on WhatsApp from your first enquiry to your final drive.

What we look after

  • Jeep safaris — permits, gypsy, guide, gate logistics.
  • Stays & packages — gate-side lodges, meals, transfers.
  • River & local trips — Ken boat, Pandav Falls, Khajuraho.
