Tiger Safari How Best To Enjoy

Tiger safari in India are wild excursions that are carried out in the reserves and National Parks spread all over India. The tourism in India for tigers is regulated and is subject to many rules and regulations. Most of the rules are set by NTCA incharge of Project Tiger Program while some are conditions set by the local State bodies.   

Since the popularity of wildlife tourism has increased tremendously in India the parks have become revenue generators. The destinations with best sightings of tigers are the preferred grounds for visit by people in India as well as overseas visitors. Hence every reserve tries to boost conservation and increase the population of big cats such that sightings become easy.   

In order to be a part of these safaris preparations are required and this begins with fixing the dates of visit and then obtaining the permits. The permits are available online on the Government portals where online payments are facilitated hence the permits can be booked then and there.

In case of non availability of permits online the visitors have to write to field director of the reserve along with payment vide a demand draft. The bookings can also be madea with the help of your tour operator or the hotel accommodation you plan to stay. 

Another way to better you safari experience is by knowing the zones you could possible visit. This has to be done before the bookings there is plenty of material online to know the sightings in each zone regarding the tiger or other preferred animal. Those interested in birding need not stress much as the avians are everywhere even outside the confines of the park. 

Once you have decided upon the zones you can proceed for booking the permits. The safaris are organized in the early morning and post noon in most of the reserves. If you wish to limit excursions then choose the morning one's since you get greater chance to sight tigers or your preferred animals and birds.  

For wildlife photographers and filmmakers the full day safari is also available though costly. In this you get to enter half and hour early than the regulars and exit half an hour late. There is no zone restriction in full day safaris. 

Before planning to book a hotel ask if they provide naturalist services which is essential if you are a birder or wish a successful tiger tour. This way you will enjoy a holistic experience which you may not have alone. A good library would be of immense help too. If you are using tour operator packages then you need only to discuss with the company and make sure all that is being provided. In this case you have to just take care of International flights to and fro.
