Why us

A Rajasthan wildlife team, not a call centre

The same people run Jawai Leopard Safari — rated 4.8★ across 108 verified Google reviews — plus Mukundra and Chambal in Kota.
Permits before payment. We never take safari money for a date we haven't secured. If a zone or shift is sold out, we tell you and offer real alternatives.
Straight talk on sightings. 70+ tigers and superb odds, but no honest operator guarantees one. We tell you which zones and months give you the best chance.
Tier-matched properties. Choose Economic, Standard, Luxury or Ultra Luxury; we place you in the right resort for that tier and your dates, all meals included.
One thread, start to finish. A single WhatsApp coordinator — no forms, no portals, no juggling the hotel, the driver and the permit office yourself.

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I book a Ranthambore safari?

WhatsApp us on +91 63679 18883 with your dates, group size and preferred package tier. Safari permits are issued by the Rajasthan Forest Department for fixed seats in each zone and shift; we secure the permits, the vehicle and the guide as part of your package and confirm everything before you pay.

How much does a Ranthambore safari package cost?

Our stay + safari + all-meals packages start from about ₹6,999 per couple per night (Economic), ₹10,999 (Standard), ₹17,999 (Luxury) and ₹35,000 (Ultra Luxury). Final pricing depends on the property, season, zone and vehicle type — we quote the exact all-in figure on WhatsApp.

Which is the best time to visit Ranthambore?

The classic core zones (1–5) are open from 1 October to 30 June and closed during the monsoon; zones 6–10 stay open year-round. October to March is the most pleasant; April to June is hot but gives the best tiger sightings around the lakes and waterholes. November to February and weekends sell out earliest.

What is the difference between a gypsy and a canter safari?

A gypsy is an open 4×4 for up to 6 guests — quieter, more manoeuvrable and better for photography. A canter is an open 20-seat vehicle, cheaper per person and easier to get at short notice. Both run the same two daily shifts, morning and afternoon, for roughly three to three and a half hours.

How do I reach Ranthambore?

Sawai Madhopur Junction, about 10 km from the park gates, has direct trains from Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Kota. By road it is roughly 3.5 hours from Jaipur, 2.5 hours from Kota and 6–7 hours from Delhi. We arrange station and airport transfers on request.
