TBM Staff - Mumbai Thomas Cook (India) Limited and its Group Company, SOTC Travel, have identified a strong pent-up demand for outdoor and adventure experiences in India. Looking into the demand, the companies have hence launched portfolio of Safaris & Jungle experiences intended to target India’s millennials/young professionals, honeymooners, families; equally corporates – with exciting team-building jungle getaways. The products are attractively priced, starting from INR 4,990.00 per person for stays of 2-7 nights.
With the pandemic bringing focus to health and safety, while Indians are longing to escape from the
monotony/ restrictions of work-from-home, they are actively seeking holidays away from crowds.
Thomas Cook and SOTC’s Safari & Jungle Experiences are hence designed to offer safe/secluded
yet magical landscapes: from rugged scrubland to lush forests, across rolling hills, watering holes and
the floodplains of the mighty Brahmaputra to the awe-inspiring Sundarbans – the world’s largest delta.
Thomas Cook and SOTC have included India’s top game reserves with the thrill of crossing paths
with majestic tigers at Corbett, India’s oldest National Park – regarded as the ultimate tiger safari
destination, or sighting a leopard at the Ranthambore National Park; a glimpse of snow leopards at
Hemis, one of the world’s highest altitude parks; Bandhavgarh National Park, once a royal hunting
ground and now a protected reserve for the Royal Bengal Tiger; the famed Asiatic Lion at the Gir
National Park; spotting panthers, bears, pythons and elephants at Kanha National Park featured in
Kipling’s ‘Mowgli’, a variety of migratory birds at the Kumarakom/Vembanad Bird Sanctuary or the
magnificent one-horned rhinoceros at Kaziranga National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
To ensure a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the accommodation is eclectic, with a choice of rugged
tented camps, traditional mud dwellings, stone cottages, colonial bungalows to luxurious royal safari
lodges or sleeping under the stars in your private machan.
Commenting on this, Rajeev Kale, President & Country Head – Holidays, MICE, Visa, Thomas Cook (India) Limited said, “Our jungle safaris are designed to delight the senses amidst serene yet spectacular outdoor vistas and an equal measure of adrenaline infused wildlife experiences! The past 18 months have restricted Indians to the confines of their homes, and so our thoughtfully designed itineraries include India’s favourite national parks and game reserves and are packed with exciting activities for millennials, families, honeymooners and corporates alike. We have ready-to-book and itineraries cocurated with our experts based on our customers’ specific interests, be it bird watching, photography or nocturnal jungle trails. India has an incredible diversity of flora and fauna and we invite our customers to embark on a journey of discovery with our exciting product range starting at a very affordable Rs 4,990.00.
Daniel D’souza President & Country Head, SOTC Travel said, “With easing travel restrictions, it
is time to plan a vacation that not only ensures unforgettable experiences but also disconnects us from living in a digital world bound by virtual meetings/conferences. Keeping the requirements of our
customers in mind, we have curated itineraries complete with thrilling escapades, rejuvenation and
unique experiences. From exhilarating safaris, luxurious stays, guided nature walks and wildlife trails,
we have something unique for everyone – to enjoy their well-deserved holiday in the lap of nature.”
