FAQ

Know before you go

A few quick answers that help your Ranthambore plan feel effortless.

Is Ranthambore good for first-time safari travellers?+
Yes—Ranthambore is one of those places where the landscape is part of the magic: lakes, ruins, and open sight lines that make the experience feel cinematic even between headline sightings. If it's your first safari, we'll keep the plan simple: comfortable pacing, strong guiding, and enough drives that you can relax into the rhythm.
Can you guarantee tiger sightings?+
No—wildlife is always on its own schedule. What we can do is stack the odds with the right zones, good tracking, and a plan that doesn't hinge on a single 'perfect' moment. If you're travelling with fixed dates, we'll design a trip that still feels rewarding even if one drive is quiet.
What's a photographer-friendly way to plan Ranthambore?+
Aim for variety: classic portraits, wider habitat frames with ruins, and lake scenes with layered backgrounds. We'll time drives to give you more than one light mood. If you tell us what you shoot (action vs portrait vs story), we'll tune the vehicle setup and route choices accordingly.
What should I pack for comfort in the vehicle?+
Light layers, sun protection, and a simple dust plan go a long way. Bring water, snacks, binoculars, and a small bag that stays organized. For cameras: spare batteries, a lens cloth, and a cover you can pull on fast if the weather shifts.
