Of the many natives of Kanha, barasingha, or the swamp deer is a species to talk baout. They populate the large open tracts of grass amidst the forests of teak and bamboo. Twenty years ago, the barasingha was faced with extinction but some desperate measures brought a change and now ever surge in their numbers. Fencing-off of some animals, recreating rutting calls with bugles were some methods. The four safari zones in the reserve have their own highlights.

Wildlife safari in Kanha is open from the 16th October to 30th June every year, while it is closed for the monsoon. Jeep safari and elephant safaris are the most exciting options to visit the wildlife reserve.
