Ranthambore is divided into 10 distinct safari zones. Book multiple safaris to explore different zones and improve wildlife sighting chances.
Jungle Safari in Ranthambore
Ranthambore National Park is a favourite wildlife destination in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur district, home to Bengal tigers, diverse flora and fauna. The majestic forest is best explored through safari rides across 10 distinct zones spread over a vast area.
Wildlife safaris are completely organised by the forest department. No private vehicles are allowed inside safari zones beyond entry gates. Tourists may park personal vehicles at their accommodation. Ranthambore safari is the only way to visit deep inside the jungle and sight tigers.
