Day Drives

The mystical and magical India. Everyone who is lucky enough to experience its power and magic. The concept of 'Safari' conjures up images of adventure, thrilling landscapes and absorbing wildlife. Camp Riverwild is located on the periphery of Corbett Tiger Reserve whilst staying at you will experience the ultimate luxury safaris.

The Corbett Tiger Reserve is blessed with a great biodiversity of habitat and wildlife giving an excellent chance of close encounters with the Tiger, Elephant and leopard - as well as fresh water fish eating crocodile or Gharial. With over 580 bird species, the reserve is a birdwatcher's delight.

Safaris take place each morning and evening in open Gypsys which drive through a wide variety of habitats, allowing you to view the vast interactions of the wild. After breakfast, guests on guided walking trails can experience the natural environment on foot in the reserve forest adjoining Corbett. The dedicated, skilled and passionate Guides lead you to discover miracles of Nature you may never have dreamed existed.

Safari

A knock on your door from the Camp Guide will wake you before first light, while the kitchen brews hot coffee or tea, and prepares cool fruit juices with toast, Rusk or other freshly made delicacy. So begin the morning safaris. Early morning is the time of day for bird songs, and the rising sunlight dances off beads of dew on spiders' webs. The guide will watch the road for spoor, leaning forward intently to find any print left by a predator during its hunt in the dark. There may be hushed discussions with the other Guide, sharing information to ensure that the occupants of each Gupsy have the best chance of a wide range of sightings - and also ensures control and responsible behavior as vehicles move in close to the animals.
