A Gypsy is an open jeep accommodating up to 6 people (including guide and driver), offering a more intimate and private wildlife experience with greater manoeuvrability on narrow jungle tracks. A Canter is a larger open bus holding up to 20 people — a more social and budget-friendly option. We also offer a Luxury Gypsy with premium seating for added comfort.

While no wildlife experience can guarantee sightings, Ranthambore has one of the highest tiger sighting rates in India. Our experienced guides know the park thoroughly and position the vehicle in the best spots. The probability is especially high during October–June, and you will almost certainly spot sambar deer, nilgai, wild boar, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife on every safari.

Zones 1 to 5 are the core zones and generally offer the best tiger sighting probability. Zones 3, 4 and 5 are particularly popular as they include the historic lakes (Padam Talao, Rajbagh, Milak) where tigers often come to drink. However, all zones have excellent wildlife and our guides will recommend the best zone based on recent sightings.

A valid Government-issued photo ID is required for every visitor — Aadhaar Card, Passport, Driving Licence or Voter ID. Please carry the original document on the day of the safari. Children below 5 years are free but still need their birth certificate.

Wear neutral, earth-tone colours (olive, khaki, beige) — avoid bright colours and white. Carry a light jacket or shawl as mornings can be cool. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, sunglasses and a water bottle. Your camera with a long lens will capture the best wildlife shots. Avoid wearing perfume as strong scents disturb wildlife.
