9.From Ranthambore: Official Tiger Safari in Canter With Guide

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 12 reviews · 3 hours · from $27Best value

You’ll spend three hours in Ranthambore National Park aboard a shared, open-top 20-seat Canter with an English-speaking naturalist guide. Look for Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, deer, crocodiles, and more than 300 bird species. Morning and afternoon departures are available, but your zone is assigned by the Forest Department and sightings are never guaranteed.

“An amazing experience, we booked 3 safaris through this guide. First two were terrible (not the guides fault at all) the zones were 6 and 10 - do not go on safari unless you are in zones 1-5, they are the best as the others are on the edge of the park and hard to spot animals. Also the canter vehicles are full of people who don’t care about the safari and just there for the photos, so they are talking loud, using phones, shouting and littering, it was really disappointing that happened and the guide allowed it. However this is the risk you take when booking with other people,…”
