ECO & COMMUNITY
Eco Tours
Wildlife is only half the forest. This tour spends as much time in buffer-zone villages as it does on safari — walking with Baiga and Gond community guides, visiting a locally run homestay, and understanding how the people living beside these reserves make conservation actually work day to day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you ask.

Chat on WhatsAppIs this tour still a real safari?
Yes — it includes two full safari drives, just balanced with time in the community rather than a third or fourth drive.
Where does the eco-development contribution go?
Directly to the village's forest-department-recognised eco-development committee, which funds things like school supplies, water infrastructure and anti-poaching support roles.
Is the homestay comfortable for guests used to hotels?
It's simple but clean and welcoming — private rooms with basic amenities rather than hotel-grade fittings. We're upfront about this upfront so there's no surprise on arrival.
Can children join this tour?
Yes — the village walk and homestay pace suit families well, though we'd size the safari drives to your children's ages and attention spans.
Do I need to speak the local language to interact with the community?
No — your naturalist and the community guide both translate throughout the village walk and any conversations with host families.
