Go for a Wildlife Safari in Ranthambore National Park

The must-do activity in Ranthambore National Park is undoubtedly the wildlife safari. The safaris are the best medium through which visitors can discover the forest thoroughly and spot animals in their real habitats. Both jeep and canter safaris in Ranthambore are equally thrilling and rewarding. Ranthambore is home to the Royal Bengal Tiger. Along with tigers, you may also see leopards, sloth bears, deer, wild boars, crocodiles, and many bird species. The safari takes place in open vehicles that move through designated forest zones. Every safari is accompanied by a trained guide and driver approved by the forest authorities.

Since jeeps are smaller in size, they provide more flexibility to enter deeper inside the safari zones and animal sighting is more convenient β€” ideal for photographers and small groups. Canter safaris are more budget-friendly and suitable for families or larger groups. No matter whichever safari vehicle is chosen, maintaining the safari rules as directed by the guide or driver is a must.
