Kolsa Core & Buffer Safari — The Hidden Side of Tadoba

Tadoba's forests have always been shaped by strong and successful tigresses, and even today some of the reserve's most exciting wildlife stories are unfolding in the beautiful landscapes of the Kolsa region. Earlier, the legendary Shivanzari Female ruled these forests with confidence and strength. Today, the spotlight has shifted to the famous Kuhwani Female Tiger — one of the biggest attractions of the Kolsa core area. What makes this phase even more special is the presence of her two young cubs, whose playful movements, curious nature, and growing confidence in the jungle have captured the attention of wildlife lovers and photographers from across India. But Kolsa's story is not just about motherhood — it is also about power and dominance. There's a new king slowly taking over the buffer forests of Tadoba: the mighty Mama Male. Huge in size, powerful in personality, and carrying the bloodline of Choti Tara and Yuvraj, Mama Male has quickly become one of the most talked-about tigers in the reserve. The best chances to track him are through Keslaghat Gate, Zaripeth Gate, and Somnath Buffer Gate — now among the most exciting safari circuits in Tadoba for serious wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Apart from Mama Male, the Kolsa Buffer region is also known for sightings of Junior Mowgli Male, K Mark Female and her cubs, and Ladli Female Tiger. For this package, the stay will be arranged near the Zari Gates or at resorts located in Borda Village, offering convenient access to the Kolsa Buffer safari zones. Best to book this package 120 days in advance.
