The introduction of night safaris in three national parks is a boon for wildlife enthusiasts who can now experience the majestic animals at night.
The three parks include the Bandhavgarh National Park, Kanha National Park and Pench National Park.
Usually, safaris are conducted during the day because tourists feel safer in the daylight. However, in day safari tourists miss out thenocturnal animals in their natural habitat.
So, now the state hopes to organise the safaris in a controlled manner.
Under the safaris, the routes will be decided by the state.
It will be ensured that, neither the animals nor the tourists get vulnerable to harm.
