Catharine • traveled in May, 2026
Overall, an excellent whistle stop tour seeing the major sights in Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra. Our driver, Vishnu Singh Sekhawat was excellent- 5 stars! He was friendly, punctual, a very competent driver despite the challenges of Indian city and rural driving and we felt very safe with him. He was attentive to our needs, always checking we were comfortable and ready with a bottle of cold water just when we needed it, as well as giving lots of very useful information about the region. We really enjoyed the palaces, forts and other interesting sights. We chose to upgrade to 4 star hotels but were disappointed by the location (in the outskirts) and quality of hotels in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Having a hotel with character, based in or very close to the old town would be much more preferable in our opinion so that when there was leisure time it would have been easy to explore the places further. Having said that, when we requested to swap hotel after a disappointing experience at arrival in one place, Karni, Vishnu and the team were very responsive and sorted it out very quickly and efficiently which we appreciated. Whilst it was very hot ( April/May) this didn’t detract and in fact was beneficial as there were far fewer crowds and we never had to queue for admission to the attractions. The day guides for each of the places were all friendly and very knowledgeable. We loved the trip overall. Thanks!

What our customers ask about Safari in India
What are the best times of year to visit India's national parks for wildlife viewing?
Wildlife viewing in India's national parks thrives from October to June with the best tiger sightings happening from March to May. The parks close during monsoon season from July through September. Weather conditions at Kanha National Park are most favorable from February to April with pleasant temperatures between 25-35°C. Corbett National Park sees its best wildlife activity from November to March. According to a TourRadar traveler: "We managed to see 6 tigers in Ranthambore during our March visit - the visibility was excellent and weather perfect for safaris."
What types of accommodation can I expect on an Indian safari tour?
Accommodation options in India's national parks span from reliable mid-range lodges to high-end luxury properties. Visitors to Bandhavgarh National Park can choose between stays like the Mogli Jungle Resort and Lemon Tree while Kanha features properties such as the Kanha Earth Lodge and Seven Tigers Resort. Standard amenities include on-site restaurants local cuisine swimming pools and expert naturalist guides. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The drivers guides and most of the hotels were fantastic and could not do enough for us."
How many safaris are typically included per day in India's national parks?
The standard safari schedule includes two daily game drives. Morning safaris begin around 6:00 AM while afternoon drives start near 3:00 PM. Each safari lasts about 3-4 hours. The Tiger Safari Grand Tour demonstrates this schedule with two daily safaris at Tadoba Pench Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Morning and afternoon safaris gave us great opportunities to spot wildlife especially tigers in their natural habitat."
What wildlife can I expect to see besides tigers in Indian national parks?
The national parks of India offer encounters with diverse wildlife. Ranthambore houses leopards striped hyenas sambar deer nilgai and more than 300 bird species. Visitors to Bandhavgarh regularly spot wild boar chitals barasingha and various primates. A TourRadar traveler reports: "We saw everything from jackals and wild pigs to incredible bird life during our safaris at Kanha National Park."
What are the success rates for tiger sightings on Indian safaris?
Tiger sightings during peak season reach 50-70% probability at parks like Ranthambore and Bandhavgarh. Booking multiple game drives increases the chances of encountering these big cats. According to TourRadar travelers: "We saw tigers on two out of four safaris in Bandhavgarh which our guide said was typical for the peak season."
What is included in the meal plan during safari tours?
Full board meals come standard at most safari lodges. Ranthambore's Nahargarh resort serves both Indian and international dishes using produce from their kitchen garden. City hotels like those in Mumbai typically provide breakfast only.
