Can foreigners book tours?+
Absolutely. We host travellers from around the world and handle all the logistics for their travel.
Where are you based?+
Pune, Maharashtra. But we have offices in many of the major tiger reserves across India.
When is the best time for a tiger safari?+
There is no single best time for a tiger safari, as every season offers a different experience. The summer months (February to June) offer excellent opportunities for tiger sightings around waterholes, while the winter months (November to February) bring pleasant weather, lush landscapes, tigers in action and wonderful birdlife. The monsoon months also have their own charm, although most national parks have seasonal closures.
Ultimately, every season has something special to offer, and the best time depends on whether you prioritise wildlife sightings, photography, pleasant weather or the overall experience of the forest.
How does planning a custom trip work?+
Pick an itinerary you like or tell us what you want to see. We shape the route, parks, pace and stays around you, share a tailored plan, and refine it together before anything is confirmed. Each and every aspect of your tour is tailored and customised.
