Tadoba Kolsa Buffer Range — The Search for Mama Male

✦

There's a new king dominating the forests of Tadoba — the mighty Mama Male. Massive in size, powerful in appearance, and carrying an incredible lineage from Tadoba's matriarch Choti Tara and the legendary Yuvraj Male, he is easily considered one of the biggest tigers roaming Tadoba's forests today. The best chances to track Mama Male are through Keslaghat Gate, Zaripeth Gate, and Somnath Buffer Gate. These buffer zones have become extremely active for tiger movement and now attract wildlife lovers and photographers from across the country. To make the most of this photography expedition, staying close to these gates is important. The area around Borda Village has a few good stay options ranging from budget to luxury. Among them, Nature's Sprouts Singh Estate is one of the preferred stays for wildlife travellers — known for its warm hospitality, comfortable rooms, good food, and personalised service for both mid-range and premium guests. For anyone who dreams of seeing a large dominant tiger in the wild and experiencing Tadoba beyond the usual safari circuit, this journey promises to be truly unforgettable. Major attractions of the Kolsa Buffer zone: Mama Male, Junior Mowgli, K Mark Female and her cubs, and Ladli Female. Best to book 30 days in advance.
