BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
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.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Solid operator.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Would send friends their way.

Questions people ask

Often, from a boat, at distance. Nobody promises it and nobody should — and an operator that offers to get you closer is breaking the law as well as endangering you and the bear. The rules on approach distance are strict and the fines are severe.
