Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.

Quiet is the whole technique

Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.

Never feed anything

An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.

Dull colours, no scent

Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.

The gate times are not flexible

Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.

No flash, and no drones

Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

What travellers said

★★★★★

“Galapagos & Quito was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.”
