Canter Safari Booking

Canter Safari offers an incredible opportunity to explore the wildlife of Ranthambore National Park. This spacious open bus can accommodate up to 20 people, making it ideal for large groups. Instead of booking multiple jeeps, everyone can enjoy the safari together in the Canter.

For a Canter Safari in Ranthambore, it’s advisable to book in advance as spots tend to fill up quickly. However, last-minute bookings are also possible, offering a chance to secure a spot if available.

You can opt for Canter Safaris in the morning or evening, depending on your preference. These safaris are available from October 1st to June 30th, providing ample time to plan your visit and immerse yourself in the safari experience.

Safari Zone

The exploration of Ranthambore’s wildlife through Jeep and Canter Safaris is widely regarded as the most practical approach. The sighting of a Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat is subject to chance. Daily, two safaris are scheduled, each with its specified timeframe. Accompanied by skilled guides, small groups of tourists are permitted entry into the park aboard Jeeps and Canters, provided they possess valid permits. A predetermined safari route is adhered to within the allocated time. To facilitate optimal wildlife viewing opportunities, the number of vehicles simultaneously entering the park is restricted, ensuring unimpeded movement and increasing the likelihood of remarkable wildlife encounters within Ranthambore’s rich ecosystem.

  1. Zone will be allowed as per availability
  2. There are 10 Zones in Ranthambore and one can select any zone as per personal preference
  3. If your safari booking is unsuccessful due to reasons such as technical glitches or unavailability of seats, we guarantee a full refund to your designated bank account. Rest assured, we will promptly communicate any such occurrences and process the refund accordingly.
