Panna National Park Safari Booking Guide
Flora & Fauna of Panna Tiger Reserve
Panna Tiger Reserve has a rich mix of plants and animals. The forest mostly has dry deciduous trees such as teak, mahua, tendu, and bamboo. Near the Ken River, you’ll also see grasses, shrubs, and green riverbank vegetation. This healthy greenery gives food and shelter to many herbivores and attracts various birds and small creatures.
While the reserve is well known for its tiger population, visitors may also spot leopards, nilgai, chinkara, sambar deer, wild dogs, and even sloth bears. Near water areas, you might see crocodiles and snakes. The park is also a good place for bird lovers, with more than 200 types of birds like vultures, kingfishers, eagles, and the paradise flycatcher. The mix of trees, open lands, and rivers makes it a perfect space for wildlife to thrive.
