Ranthambore Safari

Jeep & Canter Safari Safari Booking

• Wildlife Tour Packages
• Travel Information

The jungle safari at Ranthambore National Park happens twice a day, every day, between the months of October and June and is a popular tourist attraction in Rajasthan. The wildlife safari is only permitted during the months of October-June and is not available on Wednesdays, as the park remains closed. Bookings for the Ranthambore safaris are handled by the Forest Department and are offered in two formats: Jeep Safari and Canter Safari. The Jeep Safari can accommodate up to 6 people, while the Canter Safari can hold up to 20 people at a time.

Although the Ranthambore’s Jeep Safari is slightly more expensive than the Canter, it is recommended by visitors who have experienced the wildlife of the park because it allows for more flexibility in movement and can access areas the Canter cannot.

The Safari lasts approximately 3 and a half hours and occurs twice a day: once in the morning and once in the evening. Since these safaris are very popular, it’s advisable to book well in advance. The park also reserves a certain number of seats every morning for slots in the evening of that day and the following morning. You can book the seats for your safari online.

A Brief Insight into Ranthambore Tiger Reserve

Ranthambore National Park is among the foremost tiger reserves in the world that shelters the Bengal Tiger species. It is a favorite destination for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts. Located in Sawai Madhopur, in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve has emerged as a renowned destination for wildlife tourism in India. Uniquely, the tigers here are active during the day, unlike most tigers that are typically nocturnal.

Given the substantial number of tigers that roam freely within the park, there’s a good chance of spotting one during a visit. These majestic creatures exist nonchalantly in the reserve, so if you’re keen on a close encounter, allowing you to observe them in all their grandeur, then a jungle safari is the way to go. Ranthambore National Park offers safaris for visitors eager to see the tigers in their natural habitat. In addition to the tigers, one might also encounter other wildlife such as leopards, hyenas, wild cats, reptiles, and a variety of birds that call Ranthambore home.

Best of Ranthambore’s Safari Zones

Ranthambore National Park is divided into ‘core areas’ and ‘buffer zones’. The ‘core areas’ are regions where tigers roam freely. To protect and support their habitat, deforestation and other commercial activities are prohibited in these areas. In contrast, ‘buffer zones’ are areas of the reserve where the land can be used by local people for farming or other purposes while still being managed for conservation by the government.

For visitor convenience, Ranthambore National Park is segmented into 10 zones for tiger sightings. Zones 1-5 constitute the core areas, while zones 6-10 are part of the buffer zone. Zones 3, 4, and 5 are particularly popular and preferred by many visitors. During the summer, tigers are more easily sighted in these zones due to the presence of lakes and other water bodies. These sites attract tigers and other animals looking to quench their thirst in the hot season.

Wildlife That Can Be Spotted During Ranthambore Jungle Safari

Being a tiger reserve, Ranthambore National Park has a large number of Tigers in its habitat. It also has other big cats such as-

• Fishing Cat

Ranthambore Safari Timings

Safari timings in the Ranthambore tiger reserve vary by season, so it’s best to confirm them before your visit-

Best Time for Ranthambore’s Jungle Safari

The best time to visit Ranthambore National Park is during the months of October to March since the weather is pleasant to travel. But it is during the months of April to June that you can see tigers more since they can be seen near the lakes and other water bodies to quench their thirst during the hot summer season.

• Advance Booking: Ensure you book your Ranthambore safari well in advance. Due to its popularity, failing to do so might result in not getting your preferred zone, vehicle, or even a seat.
• Multiple Safaris: Consider taking multiple safaris. This increases your chances of sighting a tiger, as sightings are influenced by both seasons and tiger movements.
• Hydration: Bring plenty of water. A safari typically lasts around 3 and a half hours.
• Binoculars: Given that animals might be distant, carrying binoculars can enhance your viewing experience.
• Clothing: Opt for earthy-toned clothes like brown, green, and beige. These help you blend in with the surroundings. Avoid bright colors like red, which might make animals cautious and deter them from approaching.

Dos and Don’ts During the Safari

• Protection: Carry sun hats, scarfs, and masks. The park’s climate is dry, and there can be considerable dust.
• Behavior: Stay composed and calm. Always listen to your guide.
• Feeding: Never feed the animals. They have ample food, and feeding them can be dangerous given their wild nature.
• Littering: Avoid littering during your safari. Instead, dispose of waste at designated spots.
• Vehicle Safety: Do not disembark from your vehicle and always remain seated.
• Noise: Refrain from making loud noises or sounds. This could deter animals and hinder sightings.
• Substances: Smoking and alcohol consumption are prohibited within the park’s premises.

RANTHAMBORE FORT

SAWAIMADHOPUR

RANTHAMBORE

The best place to catch the elusive tiger.

Once a private game reserve of the royal House of Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park and Tiger Reserve is one of the world’s best known wilderness areas. Located 14 kilometres from Sawai Madhopur and at the junction of some of the geologically oldest mountain ranges - the Aravallis and Vindyas - Ranthambore offers some of the finest opportunities for sighting the magnificent tiger in the wild. A mix of rolling hills and crags, and meadows, lakes and rivulets, this dry-deciduous forest system is home to an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Apart from the tiger, you can also spot sloth bear, leopard, caracal, jackal, fox, hyena and mongoose at Ranthambore. The elusive Indian wolf too, has been spotted here occasionally. The dainty chital, sambhar deer, the blue bull antelope or nilgai, rhesus macaque, langur and an incredible variety of birds amidst a setting of dhok, fig and banyan trees makes a visit to this park a delight – for tourists and naturalists alike. Basking crocodiles, king vulture on a snag, the scream of the serpent eagle, the alarm call of spotted deer are some sights and sounds that make this a safari experience like none other. The landscape is dominated by the 10th century fortress of Ranthambore while the valleys have numerous cenotaphs, ruins and abandoned settlements overcome by nature - testament to battles and romances of an era long gone. Open from October to June, Ranthambore is accessible by rail from Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur and by road from Jaipur and Delhi. Sawai Madhopur has a range of accommodation to suit every budget and travelers can stay back for a few days to soak in the sunshine and calm of the forests. Given the popularity of the Park among tourists from across the world, it is advisable to make reservations in advance. For online reservations, visit http://fmdss.forest.rajasthan.gov.in/

The Ultimate Ranthambore National Park Safari Travel Guide

Last Updated on December 28, 2022 by Natalia

Taking a safari to see the majestic tigers of Ranthambore National Park is one of the highlights of any Rajasthan itinerary. Home to over 60 tigers, the park is one of the best places in the world to see these magnificent creatures. The chances of seeing a tiger in Ranthambore National Park are quite good, especially if you take multiple safaris, but there’s plenty of other wildlife in the park including sloth bears, monkeys, deer, crocodiles and leopards. We were lucky enough to go on safari in Ranthambore 4 times in 2019, experiencing both canter and jeep/gypsy safaris, so have plenty of tips and information about visiting. Find out everything you need to know and our top tips for seeing tigers with this Ranthambore National Park Safari travel guide!

It’s not possible to stay inside Ranthambore National Park as accommodation and hotels aren’t allowed in order to protect the animals’ habitat, but check out our list of the best hotels and resorts nearby!

How to get to Ranthambore National Park

First up on our Ranthambore travel guide is how to get there. Sawai Madhopur is the closest city to Ranthambore National Park, which makes it the ideal place to stay when visiting the park. Thankfully the city has good public transport links with several major cities, so it’s both easy and relatively cheap to get there.

The best way to get to Ranthambore National Park is to take the train to Sawai Madhopur, with direct trains to the city running from Jaipur , Agra, Jodhpur , Delhi, Udaipur and more.

If you plan to take the train then it’s worth booking your tickets as soon as possible, as trains can sell out weeks in advance in India. There were a couple of times where we didn’t book trains early enough and had to rearrange our whole itinerary as a result – so learn from our mistakes!

Fortunately it’s easy to book train tickets to Sawai Madhopur online in advance through 12GoAsia, which is extremely useful as it’s not possible for non-Indian residents to buy tickets through the official Indian Railways website.

Click here to check schedules and book train tickets to Sawai Madhopur through 12GoAsia!

Although it’s potentially possible to get to Sawai Madhopur by bus, we would recommend travelling by train instead. Trains are only slightly more expensive and tend to be a lot more comfortable than the buses.

If you don’t have the time to spend a few days in Sawai Madhopur then an alternative is to take a day trip from Jaipur to Ranthambore National Park. It’s a long day taking a Ranthambore safari from Jaipur though, so we recommend staying for longer if you can make it work.

Best time to visit Ranthambore National Park

There is no definitive best time to visit Ranthambore National Park for your safari. Whatever time of year you visit there are no guarantees of what wildlife you will see, so a lot of it ends up being down to luck.

Two of the best months for seeing tigers in Ranthambore are May and June. During these months the average temperature is around 34-35 degrees Celsius with highs of around 40-41 degrees Celsius.

As a result of the heat, the tigers are seen more often as they need to come out from shelter to drink from the lakes and other water sources. This does give you a better chance of seeing the tigers, but also means you will have to put up with the intense heat yourself.

Zone 3 is particularly good to visit during the hotter months as it’s home to 3 lakes, including Padam Lake – the largest lake in Ranthambore National Park. With some luck it’s possible to see tigers and other animals drinking from the lake due to the heat.

It’s worth considering whether you really want to put up with such high temperatures before visiting in May or June. When Natalia first visited India back in 2014 she was in the country during May and June and said the heat was unbearable.

If you would prefer to visit when it’s a bit less hot then any time from November to April is good for visiting Ranthambore for a safari – just make sure to bring some slightly warmer clothes to avoid wind chill if you visit during the winter months.

Visiting during October isn’t normally recommended as it’s just after the monsoon season and so tiger sightings are less common as there is more water in the park. That being said, we visited in October and we saw tigers on 3 out of 4 safaris.

Realistically tiger sightings can happen at any time of year, you just need a bit of luck. If you spend long enough in the area and take multiple safaris then hopefully you should see a tiger no matter what time of year you visit!

Monsoon Season in Ranthambore

Traditionally Ranthambore National Park closes and stops safaris for the months of July, August and September due to the monsoon season and to avoid disturbing the tigers during their mating season. In recent years however, the park has only closed zones 1-5 during these months and have kept zones 6-10 open to tourists.

It’s best to search for up to date information regarding the opening and closure of zones within the park during these months, as there is no confirmation that zones 6-10 will remain open during the monsoon season every year.

It’s also worth noting that some zones, in particular 7 and 8, may be closed if the rain causes the roads in the zones to be unsuitable for driving.

Jeep vs Canter for Ranthambore National Park Safari

There are two different types of safaris you can take in Ranthambore National Park – a jeep safari or a canter safari. Jeep safaris are sometimes referred to as gypsy safaris, but it’s just a different name for exactly the same thing.

The difference between the two is the size of the vehicle and therefore the number of people on board. Jeeps seat a maximum of 6 people and are much smaller, whereas canters can seat up to 20 people and are significantly larger vehicles.

As part of our Ranthambore travel guide we would chose jeeps over canters.

This is because jeeps more comfortable with fewer people and are more mobile, meaning they can get to certain areas in Ranthambore the canters can’t.

On our first visit to Ranthambore we took a canter safari, but we didn’t enjoy the experience as much as we hoped – even though we saw a tiger within a few minutes of entering the national park!

For our remaining 3 safaris we went in a jeep and found it to be a much better experience. The jeep safaris felt more personal as it’s easier for the guide and driver to point out wildlife to you.

In a canter the guide has to try and point out animals to 20 people at once, which can make it hard to see where you should be looking.

Jeep safaris in Ranthambore National Park do cost more than canter safaris, but the price difference isn’t too big. Considering it only costs slightly more to take a jeep safari we definitely think it’s worth spending a little bit extra for a better experience. If you’ve come all this way to go on a safari, why settle for second best?

The cost of a safari in Ranthambore National Park varies depending on how you decide to book. It is possible to book directly through the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan’s website, but the process is quite confusing and complicated.

If you book your visit to Ranthambore National Park through the government’s website then a canter safari costs approximately 1,428 rupees per person and a jeep safari costs approximately 1,698 rupees per person.

Alternatively, if you go through a 3rd party such as a tour operator or hotel then costs will vary but we paid 2,000 rupees each for a canter safari and 3,000 rupees each for a jeep safari.

Which zone is best for a Ranthambore National Park Safari?

Ranthambore National Park has a total of 10 zones, but it’s only possible to visit one zone per safari. There is much discussion over which zones are the best for seeing the famous Ranthambore tigers, with zones 1-5 generally seen as the best zones.

Although these zones are considered to be better, it’s still not possible to guarantee tiger sightings. It also doesn’t mean that you won’t see a tiger if you visit any of the zones 6-10.

The best zones to visit in Ranthambore National Park for a safari actually vary from day to day depending on sightings. If a tiger or tigers have been seen in any zone over the past few days then you generally have a better chance of seeing the a tiger in a zone with a recent sighting.

We do not recommend a particular zone over another in this Ranthambore travel guide as it really does depend where recent sightings of a tiger are for near to when you are visiting.

Depending on how far in advance you book your safari it isn’t always possible to specify what zone you’d like to visit in Ranthambore National Park. There are limits on the number of jeeps and canters in each zone, and so booking further in advance gives you the best chance of choosing your desired zone.

Safaris in Ranthambore are split into two time slots – morning safaris and afternoon safaris. Every day at 10am additional jeep and canter safaris go on sale for all zones for that afternoon and the following morning.

By booking a safari this way you’re able to take into account recent sightings and hopefully visit a zone that gives you the best chance of seeing a tiger. To do this we strongly recommend using a reliable local operator who knows the booking system.

We were lucky enough to find an extremely good operator who was able to get us safaris this way. He was able to get us one safari in zone 3, one in zone 4 and two in zone 6.

The operator kept up to date on recent sightings and prioritised getting us safaris in zones where tigers had been seen that morning, or in the last few days. As a result we saw tigers on 3 out of 4 safaris – which was extremely lucky as sightings are normally less common during October.

In reality there is no ‘best zone’ in Ranthambore National Park, as it just depends on recent sightings and a bit of luck. We recommend using a quality local operator to book your safari when the additional slots become available.

As part of our Ranthambore travel guide we recommend staying in Sawai Madhopur and do a number of safaris during your stay. This gives you the best possible chance of seeing a tiger, and also means the operator has more chances to get you a safari in a zone with recent sightings.

If you want to book through the same operator as us then visit the Cultural Safari Tours website and contact them via email or whatsapp to arrange your Ranthambore safaris. They’re experts at what they do and helped us achieve our dream of seeing tigers in the wild!

Ranthambore Safari Times

Safaris in Ranthambore National Park are split into two time slots – morning safaris and afternoon safaris. The exact timings of the safaris depend on the time of year due to the variation in daylight hours.

A safari in Ranthambore National Park lasts for approximately 3-3½ hours in general. Morning safaris run from 6am to 10.30am depending on the time of year. Afternoon safaris run from either 2pm to 7pm depending on the time of year.

Click here for a breakdown of safari timings by exact dates!

It’s worth noting that when we did our canter safari we spent considerably less time inside Ranthambore National Park in comparison to our jeep safaris. We were in the park for less than 2 hours on our canter safari, whereas we spent around 3½ hours in the park for every jeep safari we did.

The longer you spend in the park, the better chance you have of seeing a tiger regardless of whether you visit in the morning or afternoon. In our opinion it’s definitely worth paying extra for a jeep safari to increase your chances of spotting tigers!

How to book a safari in Ranthambore National Park online

Booking a safari in Ranthambore National Park is relatively straightforward if you decide to book through a local tour operator or a third party such as Get Your Guide. As we’ve said above we recommend booking through Cultural Safari Tours as they are experienced in booking Ranthambore safaris and in our experience provide an excellent service.

The price will vary depending on who you book through but we paid 2,000 rupees per person for a canter safari and 3,000 rupees per person for a jeep safari. This price included all entrance fees, guide fees and vehicle fees, as well as return transport from our hotel in Sawai Madhopur to Ranthambore National Park.

If you want to book through Get Your Guide then they offer canter safaris for 2,000 rupees per person and shared jeep safaris for 2,500 rupees per person.

Click here to book a safari through Get Your Guide!

Although going through an operator like Get Your Guide is a good idea in many ways, you won’t have any say on what zone your safari is in. If you book through a local operator you have a bit more say about which zones you want to visit – although there is no guarantee you will actually get the zones you want anyway!

The final option is to book the safari yourself through the Forest Department of the Government of Rajasthan’s website. Doing it this way will work out cheaper, with the price for a Ranthambore safari in 2020 being approximately 1,428 rupees per person for a canter safari and 1,698 rupees per person for a jeep safari.

Unfortunately the website isn’t the easiest to navigate and we recommend paying the extra for the convenience of having it arranged for you.

Ranthambore Safari Tips

Take multiple safaris  – If you really want to see a tiger in Ranthambore National Park then we recommend doing multiple safaris as said before in this travel guide. Even though it’s one of the best places in the world to see tigers, sightings are by no means guaranteed. If you visit more than once you increase your chances of getting lucky!

After our first 3 safaris we weren’t sure whether to take a 4th, but we ended up having our closest encounter with a tiger on our 4th safari so it was well worth it. Even if you get lucky and see a tiger on your first safari, it can still be worth doing more safaris anyway!

Bring plenty of water  – Safaris in Ranthambore National Park last around 3½ hours from start to finish, so make sure you bring enough water with you – particularly if you’re visiting during the hotter months, such as May and June.

Get some binoculars  – If you want to get a good view of the tigers or animals then it’s worth bringing a pair of binoculars. In an ideal world you’ll have a great sighting of a tiger relatively close up, but in many cases the animals are often in the distance.

Out of the 3 tiger sightings we had, only one was close enough to see well with the naked eye. By bringing a pair of binoculars you should still get a relatively good view anyway, so it’s worth the investment. We recommend checking out Amazon to pick up a pair of binoculars if you don’t already have some!

Buy a zoom lens – As we’ve said above, tigers and animals aren’t always close up when you see them on safari. If you want to get the best possible pictures then it’s worth buying a lens with a good zoom, as well as a good quality camera if you haven’t already got one.

We got a 70-300mm lens before we visited Ranthambore, and it helped us get some lovely pictures that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. There are plenty of great cameras and zoom lenses available on amazon –  click here to take a look for yourself!

Wear suitable clothes  – Check the forecast and wear appropriate clothes for the weather. During the warmer months you’ll want to wear light clothing for your safari, but during the winter months you may actually need some layers to keep you warm earlier or later in the day. It’s also a good idea to wear a hat for extra protection from the sun.

Use sun cream  – Make sure to put on sun cream to keep yourself protected, especially during the warmer months!

Mosquito repellent  – It’s also a good idea to use mosquito repellent to protect yourself against mosquito borne diseases especially for the evening safaris.

Situated in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan, approximately 130 km from Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park stands as one of the largest and most renowned national parks in Northern India. Once a favored hunting ground for the Maharajas of Jaipur, the park has transformed into a prominent wildlife tourist destination, captivating the interest of wildlife photographers and enthusiasts alike.

For wildlife enthusiasts seeking an immersive experience in the natural habitat of majestic predators, Ranthambore National Park beckons. Revered as the Best Tiger Friendly Land, it stands as the largest and most renowned national park in northern India. Once the favored hunting ground of the Maharajas of Jaipur, it has transformed into the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve Area, an iconic tourist destination offering encounters with friendly tigers.

Situated 170 km away from Jaipur, Ranthambore National Park provides a tranquil escape from bustling cities. As the only remaining large intact dry deciduous forest in India, it boasts a structure reminiscent of a bygone era. Surrounded by numerous water bodies, it offers respite to forest inhabitants during scorching weather, creating an environment with an incredible blend of nature's wonders.

The park's climate and vegetation are distinctive, with around 320 bird species, including both residents and migrants. Additionally, there are 40 mammal species and over 35 reptile species, attracting a diverse array of wildlife enthusiasts. Apart from tigers, the park hosts wild cats such as leopards, caracal, jungle cats, rusty-spotted cats, and occasional reports of fishing cats and leopard cats. Commonly spotted creatures include Sambhar, wild boar, Indian wild cats, jackal, and the rare wolf.

Due to its varied terrain and abundance of water bodies, Ranthambore National Park boasts an excellent population of birds, making it a birdwatcher's paradise. However, the dry climate limits the presence of amphibians. Tigers, the park's regal inhabitants, are easily spotted during the day, engaged in hunting or caring for their cubs.

RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK

Ranthambore National Park stands as a renowned and distinguished tiger habitat, distinguished as the world's largest national park boasting a diverse array of species, flora, and fauna. The park derives its name from the central Ranthambore fort, a historic monument that has witnessed significant changes and events throughout the park's history.

In the pre-independence era, the Indian subcontinent was covered with extensive forests. However, with escalating population and industrialization, rampant exploitation led to the depletion of these forests, consequently affecting the nation's wildlife. Recognizing this environmental concern, stringent rules and policies were implemented for the protection of Ranthambore National Park, which was initially under the ownership of the Maharajas of Jaipur.

Before 1955, the park served as an exclusive hunting ground for Jaipur's royal family. In 1955, it was designated as the "Sawai Madhopur Sanctuary." Concerns about the dwindling tiger population prompted the declaration of the sanctuary as part of the Project Tiger initiative in 1973, leading to the formulation of stricter policies. A significant milestone occurred in 1980 when 282.03 sq. km of the sanctuary was designated as a national park, resulting in reduced government collection of forest produce. Subsequent developments included the establishment of the Kela Devi Sanctuary on the north side in 1983 and the declaration of the Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary in 1984, covering an additional 130 sq km. These initiatives marked essential steps in the ongoing efforts to safeguard and preserve Ranthambore National Park's biodiversity.

With the help of your guide or forest ranger, identify and differentiate the park’s vast array of flora and fauna. Duration: 3 hours

Hassle-free experience when booking for safari, price offered was very competitive ans quite cheap when compared to other agencies. Mr laxman is very polite and helpful.

My experience at ranthambore was amazing. We did 3 tours in zone 2,3&4 and got 7 sightings! (2&4 by gypsy, 3 in cantar) We went in June, at the end of the dry season meaning that the parks nature was not at its most beautiful, however the higher chances of tiger spotting well made up for it. Zone 4 had great diversity, with lots of deer, birds, boar, crocodile, antelope & more. We managed to see two tigers mating in zone 4 Zone 2 was great, we saw 5 tigers total, including a mother tiger and her 3 not so small cubs, whom were chasing a sloth bear. They came right by our gypsy vehicle, with the mother tiger being only a metre away from me. Zone 3, despite unfortunately not seeing a tiger, has such natural beauty. Massive rainfall the night before resulted in the lakes filling, and lots more greenery. The tour company, especially Laxman were so helpful, making the trip from booking until on the tour itself so smooth and easy! There are many low rated reviews on here, mainly due to people being late to book and getting stuck with not so great zones. I recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance to get good zones (1-6 , although the people whom are helping you with your booking through this site will help you), and to get the opportunity to do the tour by gypsy opposed to cantar (gypsy is 6 seat jeep, cantar 20 seater) Gypsys are much better, as you can get in much better positions, aswell as much more movement. I felt like when i was in the cantar we were just waiting around for a gypsy to spot a tiger (which didnt happen). Overall great experience. Hotel Saif Ranthambore was great too!

It was amazing. Great safari zone 4 and 2. Guides were helpful and were thorough when looking for wildlife. Tour operator contacted us who told us when to be ready and which vehicle we were travelling in. A totally amazing tour Highly recommend the company and the driver. They were all about making sure you were happy with their service.

Nothing wrong per se w/the operator of this tour. However, here is the MAJOR issue-they state the tour "gives you a good chance of seeing tigers, as well as other animals and birds.". Wrong. There is a beyond miniscule chance of seeing a tiger at all which is the main reason anyone goes here. Online there are numerous sites stating that there "may" be around 70 TOTAL tigers in the whole park. Think about that. Sure you will see some birds. Perhaps a couple of deer. And maybe a crocodile. That's about it. This whole park is yet another typical "tourist" scam that all of pathetic India is famous for-all hype, no payoff. A total joke-waste of time and money. And these canter jeeps are terrible-almost no suspension so you feel every bump, every minute. You see-this is not a "safari" like in Africa. The terrain is wooded and hilly-not an open savanna like say in Botswana which just teems w/a huge range of wildlife including lions. In Botswana the only "cat" you may not see is a leopard. Why? Because they are notoriously elusive-just like tigers unlike lions. I mean just check out the customer pic here-the dude in the "simplify" t-shirt's face says it all-all of the 16 or so people in my canter were completely bored-no one was happy at all. In short, one of the worst nature experiences of my life. Do not go if you really want to encounter a tiger in its natural habitat.

We were lucky and were able to see three tiger cubs with their mother at zone three. The guide was professional and was enthusiastic to show us where the tigers are. Apart from the tigers we were also able to see many other animals and beautiful scenes.

Sanjay was amazing. We did our 0530am tour . Day started out with a tuk tuk ride to the park where we met the other group. We saw a lot more animals than the day before. Birds , crocodiles, deers , monkeys , turtles ,lizards. We almost had a tiger sighting but once the tiger was pointed out Maneuvering to see it became impossible due to other vehicles . Although I did not get to see a tiger I wasn't disappointed the experience was worth it. San jay explained about every animal we saw.Maybe I will just have to come back to one day see my dream animal.

We book morning trip with canter, and it was really cool. The team help us to book a very nice trip. A first time we wanted a jeep, but with their advice we took the canteer in the good zone and we saw tigers. highly recommanded

We've had some amazing tiger sightings here in Ranthambore National Park. The guide and driver and randomly selected so there is an element of luck involved for seeing more wildlife.

It was such an amazing experience to witness the awe of not just one but two tigers! The guide was exceptional at pointing things out and stopping to ensure we could all get pictures of not just the animals but the fantastic scenery that surrounds it all! Have more booked and can't wait!

Absolutely amazing. We went on 3 safaris - zones 3 and 4 were on cantars, and zone 7 on a gypsy. We were lucky enough to see a tiger in zone 7! All three zones are beautiful but quite different landscapes - zone 3 is very beautiful with lots of water holes so a variety of wildlife. Zone 4 was beautiful and less busy. Zone 7 has fewer water holes but beautiful views and it was where we saw the tiger so is now my fave. Having spoken to a few people and now from our own experience, seeing a tiger is very much down to luck!!! So the more safaris you can do the more chances you have. I can't recommend this company more highly - very well organised, extremely helpful with their suggestions of zones, and very good communication. 🐯🐅
