India's national parks provide a variety of landscapes. While Kanha National Park's evergreen sal forest flourishes in Central India, Ranthambore National Park's dry deciduous forest is located in the country's west. Being in the foothills of the Great Himalaya Range makes Corbett National Park special and a breathtaking location to photograph. India is a popular destination for wildlife and tiger safaris as well as nature lovers because it boasts some of the most biodiverse regions.

Top 5 Tips for Tiger Safari in India

Make sure you reserve your Tiger Safari at least 120 days in advance
Only a few number of Indian Tiger reserves are permitted admission due to their restricted jeep carrying capacity. For the majority of the well-known parks, tickets go on sale 90–120 days in advance online, and they sell out within a day or two of opening. Tickets can occasionally sell out within hours of opening during busy seasons. In addition to guaranteeing your admission ticket on the date of your choice, timely booking guarantees that you will be in the best areas of the park, making your Tiger safari experience unforgettable.
Choose a Tiger Safari with a knowledgeable naturalist
A forest guide is required in the jeeps for all Indian tiger safaris in order to oversee and manage the trip. They probably don't know much about plants and animals, and if they do, very few of them can communicate in English. The purpose of this regulation is to engage locals into the growing eco-tourism industry and promote local employment prospects. Many of them have mastered the interpretation of the flora and fauna over the years, and many have even learnt English. Nevertheless, they are appointed according to a roster, and each safari has a different guide. It is recommended that you choose an experienced English-speaking naturalist who can act as an interpreter between you and the forest in order to personalize your experience and avoid relying on chance to receive the guide of your choice.
Discover a variety of Tiger Reserve areas
There are numerous tourist-friendly areas in all of the well-known tiger reserves. Tickets for the park are available by zone. To fully appreciate the park, it is recommended to visit a variety of zones. Diverse flora and wildlife can be found in a park since various zones often have distinct habitats. Depending on season-specific conditions like the presence of a tigress with a new litter, the availability of food and water, etc., tiger sightings also frequently shift from one zone to another. Zones in the tiger reserve's core and buffer forests are also available in several parks.
Clothing for Tiger Safari in India
Many visitors arrive prepared because the climate in the majority of the Tiger Reserves appears to be warm or mild. However, because it can get quite windy when driving an open vehicle through a forest, the morning safari can get chilly even during the warm months of October and April. The first two hours of the safari can be extremely cold during these months, but as soon as the sun comes out, it becomes warm and occasionally scorching. Although there are beautiful, bright days from November to March, Tiger safaris can get extremely cold. Therefore, it is advised to wear warm, comfortable clothing during this time. In order to make the safari more comfortable during these months, the majority of reputable safari operators also supply blankets and hot water bottles. As a result, it is advisable to bring clothes that are appropriate for the weather and arrive prepared.
Minimum of 5-6 Nights to ensure sightings
The majority of visitors to tiger sanctuaries hope to spot a wild tiger. It's something that many of them have always wanted to see or do. Although a lot also depends on the season, weather, and your naturalist and driver, seeing wild tigers is purely a question of luck. On some drives, you hit the jackpot, and on others, you don't. Tiger sightings are not very common, but they do happen occasionally. Before you get a chance to spot it, it can be a long way off, or the tiger might disappear into the undergrowth. With eight to ten drives split throughout two tiger reserves, it is therefore best to allow oneself at least f ive-six nights, if not more. This will guarantee your chances of seeing a lot of wildlife and will make your Indian tiger safari unforgettable. It makes sense to allow yourself a few additional days because you are investing a lot of time and money to go to the parks.

QUESTIONS BEFORE GOING FOR A TIGER SAFARI IN INDIA

What is the electricity supply in India and what plugs are used?

 There are three round-pin plugs and a 230–240 volt power source. The majority of tourists from the West will need an adapter. All of our lodges offer adapters upon request.

The lodges serve fish, mutton, or chicken for all of their main meals. Most of the time, beef and pork are unavailable. Fresh non-vegetarian food that is safe to consume is what we obtain. If unique dietary needs are communicated to the team when making the Tiger Safari reservation, they can accommodate them.

What is the Lodge tipping culture?

We kindly ask that visitors not tip any individual lodge employees. There are tip receptacles in the offices if you would want to express your gratitude by leaving a tip. The operational staff, junior staff, and several behind-the-scenes personnel all share the tip that is gathered.
Note:
Drivers, naturalists, and nature guides may get direct tips and are not included in the standard tipping. There are no service fees at our lodges.

With a day's notice, our wildlife lodges can exchange modest amounts of major currencies and huge sums.
