The Jungle Book in India, 2016

A new 3D animation movie of much-loved classic The Jungle Book, featuring the voices of Neel Sethi, Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, is set to hit the big screen in April. Rudyard Kipling’s tale of Mowgli and co was inspired by the wildlife and landscapes of Madhya Pradesh, and those keen to seek out the wild Bengal tiger and other jungle animals can join a new tour in Satpura national park with Gane and Marshall, which offers camping overnight in the park for the first time (from £745 for four nights). Another new option is the Forsyth Trail, a 10-day tour from Village Ways (from £1,115), which includes time in Satpura as well as Pench Tiger Reserve. Wild Frontiers has a special Jungle Book group tour for 2016, visiting three parks – Kanha, Satpura and Tadoba (12 days from £2,795).
