The Experience
Before You Go
Book safari seats early
Jeep safari seats are allocated by the forest department and sell out—confirm them as soon as you book the tour.
Carry a telephoto lens and binoculars
Wildlife sightings can be distant in tall grass and across marshes; 200–400mm lenses and good binoculars make a big difference.
Expect dusty, uneven tracks
Wear sturdy trail shoes and fast‑dry socks—jeep routes are bumpy and can be dusty after dry spells.
Respect park rules and your naturalist
Follow speed limits, stay within the vehicle, and listen to your guide to protect wildlife and for your safety.
