Welcome to Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, the oldest and largest national park of Maharashtra, a territory where Royal Bengal Tiger is the ruler and nature dwells in its extreme state. Located in the Chandrapur district, Tadoba is a striking combination of primitive teak forests, glistening lakes and diversified flora and fauna that truly personifies India’s wild soul. “Every rustle in the forest is a narrative, the tale of tigers on the prowl, birds on the wing, and the unbridled tempo of nature.” Whether it’s the adrenaline rush of a tiger sighting, the tranquility of the jungle at first light, or the joy of capturing images of elusive wildlife, Tadoba offers something for every nature lover. From thrills on jeep safaris to tranquil evenings beneath the starry sky, the serenity of the outdoors and the adrenaline-boosting adventure combine seamlessly at Tadoba now recognized as the wild heart of Maharashtra.

The Soul of Tadoba – Tigers, Trails, and Tales

The heartbeat of Tadoba pounds to the pulse of the wild, its mighty Royal Bengal Tigers that have made it the “Jewel of Maharashtra’s Wildlife”. The park’s flourishing ecosystem is home to leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, gaur, and more than 200 birds, making it a colorful display of life in the harmony of existence. Every safari region like Moharli , Kolara or Navegaon has a tale to narrate. You could see a tiger moving silently through the long grass, an owl flying under rays of the moon or beams of sunlight shining through a clump of bamboo, there’s a new story at every trail in Tadoba.

Madhuri – The Supermom of Tadoba

Among the many legends of tigers in Tadoba, Madhuri the celebrated tigress reigns as the Supermom of Tadoba. She has now given birth to her fifth litter, and the total number of her cubs stands at an amazing 19 making her one of the top breeding tigresses in India.

Wildlife enthusiasts and forest personnel celebrated the news that Madhuri was accompanied by four beautiful cubs near Mohurli in the Agarzari buffer zone. She adds to growing evidence that Tadoba is emerging as not just a tiger reserve but a breeding stronghold for India’s big cats. These are the endeavors that are making buffer zones even safe havens for tigers, one of the major breakthroughs in conservation.

Madhuri’s story has been a rollercoaster from losing her first litter to the legendary Wagdoh male, to later raising the Telia Sisters who were featured in a wildlife documentary. Although outshone by her daughter Sonam, Madhuri re-established her reign in the buffer zone and made her way back to the resurgent reign of power and strength. In the same manner that the famous Collarwali of Pench, Madhuri epitomizes the wild motherhood that creates a connection in every visitor’s heart reminding one and all that Tadoba is not just for tigers, it’s also for survival, rebirth, and nature’s unbreakable will.

Wildlife Conservation and the Success of Tadoba

The story of Tadoba shows how science and community living can sustain India’s tigers. Tadoba's tiger population has stabilised at around 51 to 56 tigers, according to Dr Bilal Habib of the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), but is “highly dynamic.”

Success is ensured through regular monitoring of habitat, prey and community engagement programmes that mitigate conflict and sensitise.

With the launching of schemes like Dr Shyamaprasad Mukherjee's Jan Van Yojana, the local people have now been enabled to participate in ensuring both their economic well being and the safety of the wild life.

Through such a sustainable way of life, Tadoba has become a living proof of coexistence, where humans and the tiger have shared the same soil with respect.

Interesting Facts About Tigers You Might Not Know

Even if you have seen tigers elsewhere, the wild denizens in Tadoba may take you by surprise. 

To be safari ready, here are some cool facts every wildlife lover should know:
