The reserve consists of 577.96 square kilometres (223.15 sq mi) of reserved forest and 32.51 square kilometres (12.55 sq mi) of protected forest.

"Tadoba" is taken from the name of the god "Tadoba" or "Taru", worshipped by the tribals who live in the dense forests of the Tadoba and Andhari region; "Andhari" refers to the Andhari river which meanders through the forest.

According to the 2010 National Census on Tigers, there are about 43 tigers in the reserve, which is one of the highest in India. Here are some highlights of the park…
The park is open for visitors from 15th October to 30th June every season and remains full-day closed on every Tuesday.
The vegetation of Tadoba forest is of Southern tropical dry deciduous type and is spread on around 626 sq.km.
Teak is the prominent tree species in the forest and there are a few lakes, which makes sure the park has rich water resources.
Major part of this forest lies in the hilly area, thus many hillocks and terrains provide shelter to the wild animals here.
It has a dense forest area, smooth meadows, deep valleys, and a great atmosphere to stabilize more numbers of tigers.

There is good chance to spot the shy Sloth Bear and Wild Dogs.
One can find some of the Central India’s best native woodland bird species in this forest.
Accommodation facilities are available and are mainly concentrated among two of its popular entrance gates i.e. Kolara Gate and Mohurli Gate.

There are two lakes and one river in the park, which gets filled every monsoon, the ‘Tadoba Lake,’ ‘Kolsa Lake,’ and ‘Tadoba River.’ These lakes and rivers provide vital ingredients needed to sustain the park’s life.
