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. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would book with them again.

Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Galapagos & Quito was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Solid operator.

Questions people ask

A cruise reaches the outer islands that day boats cannot and costs two to three times as much. Land-based hopping covers Santa Cruz, Isabela and the day-trip islands, sleeps on land, and puts the money into island towns rather than a boat operator. Both are legitimate; this is the second.
