Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Ranthambore National Park, Vigyan Nagar, Ranthambore Road Prempura, Sawai Madhopur 322001 India

Ranthambore is divided into 10 zones. All zones have tigers. Zone 1-6 are considered premium zones and are much in demand due to higher sighting probability, their geographical location, more water sources etc. Zone 7 to 10 are called buffer zones, they are closer to the villages so there is a lot of human interferance like cattle grazing and other disturbances. Full Day Safari is from Sunrise to Sunset. A maximum 5 vehicles are permitted to stay inside the forest from sunrise to sunset & are provided zone free access across entire park.

Advantages of Full day Safari:

1. More time– More time in the park simply means more time to track tigers and other wildlife. We all know the importance of this extra time -no need to leave an interesting subject just because time is getting over for normal safari. These extra minutes or hours become important in view of the fact that lot of times animal movement happens early morning & late evening.

2. Better sighting opportunities- With additional time & zone free access one definitely has more sighting opportunity as compared to regular safari. For all you know your jeep could be the only jeep at that spot.

3. No route restrictions-In a normal safari one has to travel on a preassigned route. At times when you are sure about a potential sighting on a given route you might not be able to secure the route, frustrating at times for sure. It is to be noted that one has access to areas open for tourism only.

4. No zone restriction– Unlike normal safari, even zone restriction is not applicable on visitors on full day permit. No need to change the zone basis a good a sighting in previous safari, on a full day/half day tour you can move between zones. This means ultimate freedom & flexibility in tracking wildlife.

5. Hassle free- In a normal safari at most of the reserves you get a different guide & driver for each time and it is sometimes difficult have similar safari experience on all safaris. In case of full day safaris you have the same driver & naturalist accompanying you on all safaris. This definitely is a huge advantage-they know your preferences, have knowledge of your equipment and images made so far which helps in planning safaris and sightings.
