India Wildlife Tours and Safaris FAQs
-
Almost all the parks are closed during the summer monsoon, which lasts from July until the end of September, and they reopen in October. The monsoon rains ensure the forests renew themselves, meaning it's slightly harder to see the wildlife through the denser foliage.
During the winter months from December to February, it can get pretty cold – especially at night and on early-morning game drives – so it's best to come fully prepared. The lush vegetation dies away as spring arrives, so the sightings improve because you can see further into the undergrowth.
From April to June, the temperatures rise and wildlife is generally brought out to watering holes so that you see more. However, do bear in mind that it can get rather hot during the middle of the day.
-
The range of wildlife varies slightly from park to park, but the overall variety on offer is astonishing. It's not just about seeing a tiger on a safari in India as you can also see:
- Leopards
- Asiatic lions
- Deer
- Wolves
- Bears
- Crocodiles
- Wild dogs
- Monkeys
- Rhinos
- Buffalo
- Wild elephants
You'll also find a spectacular variety of birdlife dancing across the skies when you embark on an Indian wildlife tour, with our expert guides on hand to help you explore their natural habitats with minimal disruption.
