Activities with Family at Wildlife Resorts
A day spent in a jungle or wildlife retreat would be considered incomplete had the other alluring things forest offers, been left aside. All family members would wish for their share of a forest experience; be it children or elders. And to satisfy this, wildlife resorts provide family-oriented recreation.
These activities reinforce a bridge through enjoyment, education, and consciousness towards nature for children and adults alike regarding the forest and its inhabitants and indeed with the forest and its very importance.
Observing Wildlife and Nature
1. Jungle Safaris
When it comes to exciting and pleasurable pursuits, the jungle safari seems to be everyone’s favorite!
- These are arranged by the resorts, with either a jeep safari or walking safari accompanied by the teachings imparted by an expert forest guide.
- You see tigers, deer, elephants, peafowls, snakes, etc.
- They explain the habits of the wildlife, what they eat, and how they live.
- For instance: during a morning safari at the Bandhavgarh and Kanha resorts, children are shown tiger paw prints and taken to where the tiger makes a kill.
2. Bird Watching
- There are unlimited species of birds in the jungle.
- Here, bird identification, calls, songs, and behavior are tasks that naturalists will passionately guide children and adults through.
- Bird watching offers sightings of peafowls, cranes, doves, quails, and so many brilliantly colored birds.
- For example: an early morning safari is an exciting experience for children when they get to watch bird activities through binoculars.
3. Nature Walks
- Nature walks or forest walks have both an education and an entertainment value.
- A trained guide will point out forest biodiversity, flora and fauna in the area, and animal footprints.
- The kids will learn how every plant and animal in the forest supports this ecosystem.
- For example: at one resort, children are taught to identify those plants that are traditionally known as herbs or medicinal from their color and shape of leaves.
Ranking Above Adventure and Sport
1. Trekking
- The resort offers trekking in the adjacent hills and water reservoirs, with moderate supervision from instructors for adults and children alike.
- The trek is normally deemed safe for kids or total novices.
- Children enjoy trekking and are challenged in the forest.
- For example: during trekking, the guide tells the children which plants are edible and poisonous.
2. River-based Exhibition: River Rafting and Fishing
- If there was a river or reservoir flowing nearby, fishing and river rafting could also be organized for kids and the family.
- This just adds another notch of thumbprint towards adventure and caring for nature.
- For example: Resorts on the banks of the Koshi river give the kids their fill of mini-rafting and teach them how to learn the ways of taking care of the environment while fishing.

1. Sessions by Experts
- There are programs arranged at the resorts, revitalized by eminent wildlife conservationists meant for kids and adults.

2. Fun for Kids
