We recently completed our Gir National Park and Tiger Safari tour booked through TourRadar, with our local operator Alkof, and it was an unforgettable wildlife experience overall. From the moment we arrived, the Alkof team was there to greet us at the airport, which made the start of the trip smooth and reassuring. Gir National Park was a highlight, and we were incredibly lucky with our sightings—we saw multiple Asiatic lions in the wild, which was truly special. That said, Gir is not as well set up for Western guests as some of the other parks. The team did their best to accommodate us, but having an English-speaking driver during this portion of the trip would have made the experience much more comfortable and informative. The rest of the journey was exceptional. Our driver for the main portion of the tour was outstanding—professional, proactive, and always willing to accommodate our requests. He really enhanced the overall experience with his initiative and flexibility. Wildlife sightings exceeded expectations across the board. In Kanha and Panna National Parks, we had fantastic tiger sightings, along with memorable encounters with a leopard, jungle cat, and even a sloth bear. It truly felt like a comprehensive Indian safari experience. A special mention goes to Ken River Lodge in Panna, which was wonderful. It had a very authentic safari feel—almost reminiscent of an African safari lodge—with beautiful views overlooking the river. It was a perfect place to relax and take in the natural surroundings. Overall, this tour delivered incredible wildlife encounters and memorable moments. With a few small improvements in communication during the Gir portion, it would be close to perfect. We would still highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a rich and rewarding wildlife safari in India.Show more

Our personalised tour created by us and put in place by Alkofholidays, was amazing. This company has been outstanding with the organisation and service throughout the whole trip. I highly recommend them and if you need a person to chat to , ask For Sanjeev. He is absolutely amazing. I’d give him a 10/10 first of all. Our tour was so organised and we got to do exactly what we were looking fur, plus so much more. Our guide and driver were so happy to change anything we wanted to do, plus extra things in different places. South India is do beautiful. Go and explore and enjoy the warm friendly environment of South India.Show more
