The park is open October to June, with December to March offering the most comfortable weather; April-June gives higher tiger sighting odds as animals gather near water sources but is very hot.
Panna is about a 45-minute to 1-hour drive from Khajuraho by road, making it a convenient add-on to a Khajuraho temple tour.
The jeep safaris involve some jolting on forest tracks, but seated safaris are manageable for most seniors in reasonable health; the boat safari is a gentler alternative for those who prefer to avoid long jeep rides.
One full day is enough for a morning and afternoon safari plus a boat ride; two days allow a more relaxed pace with time to also see the diamond mining area.
