The Camp Serai Tiger is located amidst ephemeral streams and lakes that serve as natural water spot for wild animals, especially during summer. The location attracts many ‘wild’ visitors, and is frequented by sloth bear, gaur, wild dog, leopard and tiger apart from other species of ungulates, birds and reptiles.
The Camp Serai Tiger is situated at the fringe of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), about 125 km from Nagpur in Central India. This beautiful place is located at a distance of about 5 Km from the Moharli Gate of TATR, close to the south-western tip of the core area. Our resort is located amidst two seasonal water streams feeding into small lakes frequented by tigers, leopards, sloth bears, gaur (bison), wild dogs, sambar, cheetal, four horned antelope, barking deer, gazelle, nilgai, flying squirrel and many species of birds.
The birds make it an ornithologist’s paradise, with over 195 species, including serpent eagle, honey buzzard, paradise fly catcher, aquatic birds, owlet and raptors. Reptiles include marsh crocodile, rat snake, python, Indian cobra and the king cobra that are sighted more often than others. Insects are present in large numbers, the exciting ones being 70 odd varieties of spiders and butterflies. These animals are almost sighted throughout the year, with enhanced success rate during the winters and summers.
TATR forest grades between dry to moist deciduous forests types with teak and bamboo as the two most dominant species of plants. Other indigenous trees like mahua, ain, dhawda, tendu, bija, haldu, salai, semal, palash and jamun are also found commonly and can be seen around our Camp. Rich in biodiversity, TATR’s biggest offerings are frequent and diverse wildlife sightings – a dream for every serious wildlife enthusiast!
