Park Safari by vehicle

The vehicle safari continues to be an extremely popular activity. It allows the guests to explore the park in an open safari vehicle. Visitors can enjoy bird watching and the thrill of tracking tigers as well as the sounds of the jungle. A fixed number of vehicles, with a maximum of 6 guests per vehicle (excluding driver & guide) are allowed into the park for morning & evening excursions. Since this is an extremely popular activity, we recommend guests plan for their safari holidays well in advance to have options to explore the various tourism zones in the park.
