Ranthambore Safari Charges

The Safari in the Ranthambore National Park is the most famous wildlife safari in the world for the exclusive tiger sighting. No any wildlife destination in India provides such an excellent opportunity of tiger sighting in their natural habitat as like Ranthambore. Though getting the sight of this elusive and dangerous predator of the forest is sheer luck, but with a little bit of planning can enhance the possibilities of tiger sighting in the Ranthambore forest. It is always advantageous to take at least two or three forest safaris in the different tourism zone. You can take two safaris in two different shifts in the same zone in which the tiger sighting is reported recently and then take one or two safaris in the different zone. With such a planning, you can significantly improve the chances of tiger sighting as well as sightings of the other rare wild animals like sloth bear, leopards, etc.

Types of Safari in Ranthambore :

Ranthambore National Park offers two types of safari vehicle options to get into the forest and explore the wildlife. One is 6-seater Jeep and another is 20-seater Canter, which is allowed to enter the park. Both the vehicles are open from the all sides to provide the best viewing experience in the forest. Both the vehicles are available on seat sharing basis, so you don't have to book the entire Jeep if you are single tourist or in the group of two or three persons. However, you also have the option to book the entire Jeep by paying the required fee for the more personal Safari experience. In both the vehicles, passengers are accompanied by a driver and a naturist guide in each Safari vehicle and their charges are included in the Safari charges, so you don't have to pay any extra charges to them. There are limited numbers of Jeeps and Canters allowed in each tourism zone and the zones are allotted to each vehicle at the time of entrance.

The Ranthambore National Park now offers a special advantage for wildlife enthusiasts by providing the facilities of Half-Day and Full-Day Safari. Now, tourists have the option to stay more time inside the park than the standard safari shift time of 3.30 hours. The Half-day safari permits allow the visitors to spend a maximum of 6 hours in the park either in the morning shift from sunrise to 12 noon or the afternoon shift from 12 noon to sunset. The Full-day safari permits allow the visitors to spend a maximum of 12 hours from sunrise to sunset in the park. There is no restriction of Safari routes and tourism zones for the half-day and full-day safari vehicles. There is a limitation of 5 Jeeps per day for Half-day and Full-day safari. During these special safaris, you can either take the packed lunch and have it in the park or come back to the hotel for lunch and visit again to the park.

Safari Tips for Your Visit to Ranthambore

• The safari tourism zones 1-5 are very much popular among the tourists and considered the "Core" of the park. It is only because of high chances of wildlife sighting in this region. Safari zones 6-10 are considered "Buffer Zones", however tigers can still be spotted in this region too.
• Safari zones of the Ranthambore National Park are closed from July to September during monsoon season.
• Winter season October to February is the most suitable time to visit the park. Though doing morning safari could be tough but animal sighting is very good. During the summer season March to June; the days are very hot. However, this season is also best for spotting animals as they come out in search of water to quench their thrust.
• Your safari experience inside the park depends on your nature guide and driver. When many jeeps converge on one point and travellers shout between vehicles, the disturbance created is not an ideal situation for viewing animals. So be careful and behave properly with wildlife species.
