Core Zone · Madla & Hinouta Gates
Jungle Safari (Core)
The classic Panna tiger safari — a sunrise gypsy drive through the core zone, where tigers, leopards and 200+ bird species share the teak and Ken river valley.
What a core safari is like
You enter through Madla or Hinouta gate before dawn. Open gypsy, naturalist beside you, and the forest waking up — pugmarks on the trail, alarm calls from langurs, golden light on the plateau. Panna’s core zone combines open grassland, dense teak and the Ken river, which is why sightings feel different every single drive.
