know your safari

Each day in the forest during a safari in India can be different depending on the national park or reserve you are visiting and the type of safari you have chosen. However, here are some typical activities you can expect during a safari in India:

 

Early morning safari

Most national parks offer an early morning safari, which starts before sunrise. During this time, you have a higher chance of spotting wildlife as they are active during the cooler hours of the day.

 

Breakfast

After the morning safari, you will return to your accommodation for breakfast.

 

Leisure time

You can use this time to rest, explore the surrounding area, or participate in any additional activities offered by the park.

 

Afternoon safari

In the afternoon, you can go for another safari to explore different parts of the national park and spot more wildlife.

 

Evening activities

Once the safari is over, you can enjoy a leisurely walk or go birdwatching. Some national parks also offer cultural programs or documentaries related to wildlife in the evening.

 

Dinner

You can enjoy a sumptuous dinner at your accommodation, which is usually included in the package.

 

Note:The schedule may vary depending on the park's timings and the type of safari you choose. Some national parks also offer different types of safaris, such as elephant safaris, canoe safaris, or walking safaris, which may have a different schedule.

Here are some essential things you should pack for a jungle safari:

 

Clothing

Comfortable and breathable clothing is a must for a jungle safari. Long-sleeved shirts and pants are recommended to protect you from the sun, insects, and thorny bushes. Neutral-colored clothing such as khaki or beige is also recommended to blend in with the surroundings. It's also a good idea to pack a light jacket or sweater for early morning or late evening safaris when it can get chilly.

 

Footwear

Closed-toe shoes or boots with good traction are recommended for a jungle safari. Avoid open-toe shoes or sandals as they do not provide adequate protection. It's also a good idea to pack a pair of socks that can keep your feet warm during early morning or late evening safaris.

 

Insect repellent

A good quality insect repellent is essential to protect you from mosquito bites and other insects.

 

Sunscreen

The sun can be intense in the jungle, so it's important to pack a sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from sunburn.

 

Hat or cap

A hat or cap can protect your face and neck from the sun and also help you blend in with the surroundings.

 

Binoculars

A pair of binoculars can enhance your wildlife viewing experience by allowing you to see animals that are far away.

 

Camera

A camera is a must to capture the amazing wildlife and landscape of the jungle. Make sure you pack an extra memory card and batteries.

 

Water bottle and snacks

It's important to stay hydrated during the safari, so pack a water bottle and some snacks such as energy bars or nuts.

 

First aid kit

Pack a first aid kit with essentials such as band-aids, antiseptic cream, and pain relievers.

 

Flashlight or headlamp

A flashlight or headlamp can be useful during early morning or late evening safaris and also if you need to walk around in the dark.

 

Remember to pack light as you will be moving around a lot during the safari. It's also important to check with your tour operator or accommodation provider if they provide any additional items or equipment that you may need during the safari.

Seeing a tiger during a jungle safari in India is possible but not guaranteed.

The ideal length of your jungle safari in India depends on various factors such as your budget, availability, and personal preference. However, it's recommended to stay for at least two to three days to increase your chances of spotting wildlife and experiencing different areas of the park.

During a longer stay, you can explore the park at different times of the day, including early morning and late evening safaris when wildlife activity is highest. You can also cover a larger area of the park and see different landscapes, which can enhance your overall experience.
