Is an open jeep safe for a tiger safari India tour?
Yes, jeeps are safe for a tiger safari in India. The only point of understanding is that the jeep and its occupants must at all times maintain a safe distance from the wildlife around. If you hinder their space or peace, they might not like it and in turn leave the area. Always remember that you are in their territory and it is only basic courtesy to not disturb them. Do not get off your safari vehicle to click photos, do not feed them, and do not ask the driver/guide/naturalist to speed up to chase wildlife around. These are basic rules and any form of disobedience is strictly punishable.
What kind of clothes should I carry on a tiger safari India tour?
The temperature in Indian jungles experiences fluctuations throughout the day. During the scorching summer months of April and May, it can climb to a peak of 45 degrees Celsius, but it cools down to a pleasant 25 degrees Celsius in the evenings. In the winter season, from December to February, the mornings can be quite chilly, with temperatures dropping to as low as 0-5 degrees Celsius, but the days become comfortably warmer, ranging between 15-20 degrees Celsius.

A canter on the other hand is an open roofed mini bus which has the seating capacity of a driver, guide and 16-20 guests.

While booking your tiger safari permits, NRI’s must have their passports ready as you need to update the same on the website and don’t forget to carry your passport while going for the safari as the park officials check the same at the entry gates.

How many safaris should I plan to maximize my chances of seeing the tigers?
No one can predict a confirmed tiger sighting, but with the right combinations of naturalists, Jeep drivers, and park guides, the chances are better. To answer the question of how many safaris you should do to maximize tiger sightings, I can say a minimum of four tiger safaris is required at a national park. It will maximize your chances by giving you more time to explore more areas.
Are children allowed on tiger safaris, and if allowed how old should they be?
The safari hours are long, children of younger age get bored and may create noise, which is not good for safety as well as safari experience for the fellow safari goers, so only children above the age of five are allowed to go on a tiger safari.
Can we get a refund if we cancel a tiger safari in advance?
It depends on how many days before you cancel your safari. If you cancel it one month before, you will get a full refund except for the booking charges.
How fit do I have to be for a tiger safari?
A tiger safari is always conducted in a 4X4 vehicle, and there is no walking involved. If you are a person who can sit comfortably in an open vehicle for long hours, then you are perfect for the tiger safari.
However some national parks gives the experience of walking safaris for which you have to cover 4 – 5 miles (approx.)
Can I stay inside a national park during my tiger safari in India?
Yes, several national parks offer forest rest house and premium stays inside or near the core zones. Staying close enhances your chances of early morning and evening sightings during your tiger safari in India. Examples Corbett, Namdapha National Parks.
