Booking a Jeep Safari

Jeep safaris in Tadoba National Park are conducted twice daily - one in the morning and the other one in the afternoon. Booking a safari in advance is highly recommended due to the limited availability of jeeps almost throughout the year, especially during the peak season from November to April, as the park restricts the number of vehicles allowed inside during each time slot.

The choice of zone depends on personal preference and availability. It is important to note that the core zones generally have higher chances of tiger sightings, while the buffer zones also offer unique wildlife encounters.

Timings and Regulations

The timings for jeep safaris vary depending on the season. During the summer, morning safaris typically begin around 5:30 a.m. and last until 10:00 a.m., while the afternoon safaris start around 3:00 p.m. and end by 6:30 p.m. In winter, the timings are slightly adjusted due to shorter daylight hours.

To ensure the safety of both visitors and wildlife, certain rules and regulations have been implemented by the forest department, which are to be strictly followed by tourists coming to experience the thrilling safari. Visitors are required to maintain silence, avoid sudden movements, and refrain from feeding or disturbing the animals. It is recommended to dress in natural colours that blend with the natural environment. These measures help minimize human impact on the national park’s ecosystem while enhancing the overall safari experience. Jeeps are available on both a full and sharing basis.

Best Time for a Jeep Safari

The ideal time for a jeep safari in Tadoba National Park is from October to June, as a few core zones in Tadoba National Park remain closed during the monsoon season (July to September). The months of March to May are particularly popular for tiger sightings, as the hot weather draws animals to water sources, making them easier to spot. However, the winter months (October to February) are also favourable for safaris, offering pleasant weather and a chance to see a wide variety of wildlife, including migratory birds. It is advised to carry necessary items such as water, sunscreen, hats, and binoculars for a comfortable and memorable safari experience.
