An In-Depth Look at the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve Buffer Zone

If you want to take temporary refuge from the noisy city to a natural habitat of the wild Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve is the best place to be in. Located in the district of Chandrapur this place gives maximum tiger sightings compared to other wild reserves.

To get an idea of what wildlife scenario can be expected at the Tadoba National Park let's take a look at its extent and the entry points.

Safari Zones in the Tadoba Andhari National Park

The complete area of Tadoba Andhari National Park is divided into two zones. One is the Core Zone that has the main forest and is a habitat to different wild animals, tigers being one of them. Second is the buffer zones which is the outer adjacent part surrounding the core zone where some villages and forests coexist.  This is the area where humans are close to tigers.

The Gates of Tadoba is where Core Zone Safari starts are:

• Moharli
• Khutwanda
• Navegaon
• Kolara
• Kolsa – Zari
• Pangdi

The gates of Tadoba where Buffer Zone Safari starts are:

• Alizanza Zone
• Devada Adegaon
• Agarzari
• Junona
• Kolara Buffer Gate
• Ramdegi Buffer Gate

Tiger sightings in the Buffer Areas:

The buffer areas are beautiful with dense tree canopy and natural water sources with herbivorous animals. This is the reason you can see a good tiger movement in these areas. The tiger sightings are generally less than those in the core zone but if you are newcomer you can opt for the buffer zone as you can enjoy distant tiger sightings and photography. Also, if you just stumble upon his place while traveling you may not get the entry tickets to the core zone but you always get tickets to the buffer zone. That is how the buffer zones are worth a visit if you want to see tigers on the go.
