Are you craving a trip to the delighting, enchanting, and tranquility of nature to relax your soul and give delight to your eyes with a contrast of a desert’s scant shrubs and a dense green forest alongside? Well, in that case, the Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan is the right destination for you. Online booking of seats is available here for Jeep Safari and Canter Safari. The online booking process is entirely managed by the forest officials here. The tiger reserve is divided into ten safari routes or zones, and online Ranthambore Safari booking is available for each of the zones.
The Jeep Safari and the Canter Safari are considered the most viable options for the visitors to explore the wildlife in the core of the Ranthambore National Park. Spotting the majestic tigers in their natural habitat entirely depends on your luck. Two safaris are conducted at their scheduled times regularly. Each of the jeeps and canters that carry the group of visitors inside the jungle’s core is accompanied by a team of well-trained guides. Entering the park is not allowed without a valid permit, even after completing all the Ranthambore Safari Booking procedures. The route for the safari inside the forest is fixed. Limited vehicles are allowed to go inside at a time to ensure free movement and a better possibility of sighting tigers and other wild animals.
You have to keep in mind that neither you can choose the safari zone for yourself inside the Ranthambore National Park, nor choosing the safari driver nor expert guide is in your hands. All these are decided by forest officials on a random basis, with the help of an automated computerized system, to ensure the equality of vehicles available through Ranthambore Safari booking for every zone.
According to the current policy of the booking procedures, a total of 20 six-sweater jeeps and 20 twenty-sweater canters will be allowed to enter the forest in a single shift. There are two shifts available for the safaris inside the forest: the morning shift and afternoon shift. You can choose your shift time during the booking. You have to pay the full fee in advance during your online Ranthambore Safari booking.
