Indian Wildlife Safari Reviews
- Jungle Book - In Search of The Tiger !! (A Unique Experience Tour)
Overall it was a wonderful experience although there was not enough time to relax and enjoy some of the hotel facilities which was a shame. The drivers and guides and most of the hotels were fantastic and could not do enough for us On hindsight, travelling to Kanha and then doing an afternoon safari was too rushed and having a 6 hour car journey, missing lunch and having to rush to the gate, as we found out it was 2 hours away, was definitely not acceptable. Our driver was wonderful but we arrived late and the safari jeep had left. Our driver managed to organise another jeep but we only had one and a half hours in the park and ended up getting back to our hotel at 8.30pm. In total we had to sit down for over 12 hours which is not acceptable for health. We understand that you do not choose the gates and it is a government lottery pick but could this be monitored and hotels then booked nearer to the gate as there was one next doo To have the option to relax for a few nights in Goa, would have made a great addition at the end of the tour. Overall it was an excellent experience to discovering India and we will be back in the future.
- Same Day Tiger Safari Tour From Jaipur All Included
It's a great tour. We had a nice pickup a a good drive from Jaipur to Ranthambore Nationalpark.
- Ranthambore Tiger Experience 5D/4N (from Delhi)
Once at the hotel near Rathenbourne the trip was well planned and carried out. The young man who met us at the station, Arbaz, was courteous and on time. The hotel was lovely and the staff could not have been more helpful, even changing the menu for dinner to suit our western tastes. Arbaz was contactable throughout our stay and was always on time. He gave very good service and is a credit to the company. I would have liked a little more information about getting the train at Nizamuddin station, being prepared for such long trains would have been an advantage. Although there was a representative on the station platform he only made himself known to us once we had reached the carriage. On returning to Dehli Arbaz stayed with us on the platform until the train arrived. The other guide had a larger party and stayed with them. On reaching Dehli the taxi driver was waiting for us as arranged. Once in the taxi he was eager to show us the sights of Dehli and despite repeated requests to go to the hotel, he continued to ask about shopping/eating/which monuments we wanted to see and the journey from station to hotel took one hour and fifteen minutes and the traffic was clear. The hotel used for the end of the tour needs some consideration for the future. Although the room was lovely, even though it didn’t have a window, some of the staff were less than courteous. The breakfast offered was not suited to European guests added to which there was no coffee on offer. Most of the equipment was in need of a through clean.
What our customers ask about Safari in India
What are the best times of year to visit India's national parks for wildlife viewing?
Wildlife viewing in India's national parks thrives from October to June with the best tiger sightings happening from March to May. The parks close during monsoon season from July through September. Weather conditions at Kanha National Park are most favorable from February to April with pleasant temperatures between 25-35°C. Corbett National Park sees its best wildlife activity from November to March. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We managed to see 6 tigers in Ranthambore during our March visit - the visibility was excellent and weather perfect for safaris."
What types of accommodation can I expect on an Indian safari tour?
Accommodation options in India's national parks span from reliable mid-range lodges to high-end luxury properties. Visitors to Bandhavgarh National Park can choose between stays like the Mogli Jungle Resort and Lemon Tree while Kanha features properties such as the Kanha Earth Lodge and Seven Tigers Resort. Standard amenities include on-site restaurants local cuisine swimming pools and expert naturalist guides. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The drivers guides and most of the hotels were fantastic and could not do enough for us."
How many safaris are typically included per day in India's national parks?
The standard safari schedule includes two daily game drives. Morning safaris begin around 6:00 AM while afternoon drives start near 3:00 PM. Each safari lasts about 3-4 hours. The Tiger Safari Grand Tour demonstrates this schedule with two daily safaris at Tadoba Pench Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Morning and afternoon safaris gave us great opportunities to spot wildlife especially tigers in their natural habitat."
What wildlife can I expect to see besides tigers in Indian national parks?
The national parks of India offer encounters with diverse wildlife. Ranthambore houses leopards striped hyenas sambar deer nilgai and more than 300 bird species. Visitors to Bandhavgarh regularly spot wild boar chitals barasingha and various primates. A TourRadar traveler reports: "We saw everything from jackals and wild pigs to incredible bird life during our safaris at Kanha National Park."
What are the success rates for tiger sightings on Indian safaris?
Tiger sightings during peak season reach 50-70% probability at parks like Ranthambore and Bandhavgarh. Booking multiple game drives increases the chances of encountering these big cats. According to TourRadar travelers: "We saw tigers on two out of four safaris in Bandhavgarh which our guide said was typical for the peak season."
What is included in the meal plan during safari tours?
Full board meals come standard at most safari lodges. Ranthambore's Nahargarh resort serves both Indian and international dishes using produce from their kitchen garden. City hotels like those in Mumbai typically provide breakfast only. Tour operators accommodate special dietary needs including vegetarian Jain and halal options at all major wildlife lodges upon request.
