Important Things to Remember for Ranthambore Jungle Safari
It is important to book in advance for the safari, since it is a popular activity; you may not get your desired zone or vehicle or may even have difficulty getting seats if you do not book in advance. It is advised to take multiple safaris to increase your chances of sighting a tiger, since the sightings depend significantly on the seasons and the movement of the tiger. Carry plenty of water to hydrate yourself since the safari takes around 3 and a half hours to finish. Since the animals may be at a distance from your vehicle, you might want to carry a pair of binoculars to see them more clearly.
Recent Developments in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve
Ranthambore has discontinued its half-day and full-day jungle safaris previously available, aiming to reduce overexposure of animals to tourists and alleviate staff stress. The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is now closed every Wednesday to lessen the workload on the staff and provide a day of rest for the tigers, free from human interference. Visitors looking to book safari tickets in advance can now only make six reservations per month using a Single Sign-On (SSO) ID. Ranthambore has installed a high-tech, 24-hour anti-poaching system equipped with thermal cameras and drones to prevent the poaching of its tigers. Additionally, the ‘Tiger Watch’ organization is educating the youth of the Mogiya community to actively participate in conservation efforts, rather than resort to poaching as a survival means like their families.
