No. Wild tigers can’t be guaranteed anywhere. Ranthambore is one of the best places in India to see them in daylight, and we include two safaris in different zones, with more available on request, to improve your chances.
A canter is a larger open-top vehicle and the more affordable shared option. A gypsy is a smaller jeep that suits couples, families and photographers. We book a canter as standard and can upgrade to a private jeep on request.
Places are limited and sell out well ahead during peak season from November to March. Book your tour early so we can secure your safari slots as soon as your dates are confirmed.
No. Ranthambore National Park is closed for the monsoon, roughly July to September, so this tour runs from October to June, with October to March best for the full route.
Yes. The route loops Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur and back to Delhi with no drive over about 6 hours, and two nights in Ranthambore give you time for both safaris and the fort.
Choose muted earth tones such as khaki, olive and beige, and avoid bright colours. Bring warm layers for cold mornings from November to February, plus a hat, sunscreen and, if you have them, binoculars and a zoom lens.
